Teeth Whitening

Nothing shines brighter than a confident smile! And with our professional teeth whitening treatment, you can rest assured you'll be smiling all the time. Teeth whitening is a great way to lighten discolouration and enhance your appearance in one go, leaving you with a smile up to 3-5 shades lighter.

What is teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is a process of bleaching the teeth to lighten the enamel. Over time, our teeth start to yellow due to age, diet and lifestyle habits, and this can lead to feelings of self-consciousness. With in-office chair bleaching, you get a professional service with guaranteed results. At Dr. Dee Aesthetics, we want to help you radiate confidence, so a thorough consultation of your needs and goals will help us determine if teeth whitening is the route to go.

Who is an ideal candidate for teeth whitening?

As much as we would love to give everyone a whiter and brighter smile, teeth whitening comes with a few conditions that need to be met for it to be effective. The ideal candidate for teeth whitening is someone with just natural teeth and healthy gums. This is because teeth whitening does not work on dental prosthetics like crowns, veneers and fillings. This service is perfect for you if you have natural teeth starting to develop yellow tones.

What is the teeth whitening process?

Dr. Dee will clean and dry your teeth before applying a protective gel to your gums to avoid getting the whitening agent. Next, she applies the gel directly to your teeth, which is done in 20 minute sessions. During this time, the whitening agent bleaches the enamel and reacts with oxygen molecules to break the discolouration.

How long do the results last?

Your teeth whitening results can last 6-12 months. This heavily depends on your oral hygiene routine, diet and lifestyle habits. It's best to maintain a strict regimen of daily brushing and flossing and avoid foods and drinks that stain the teeth. Smoking is also not ideal if you want your results to last.
