Teeth Whitening in Dieppe
Target Stubborn Stains
Teeth can become discoloured for a variety of reasons, including consuming darkly pigmented beverages such as red wine and coffee, poor oral hygiene, or simply due to the natural aging process.
Our dentists can help you remove stains and lighten the colour of your teeth with professional teeth whitening treatments.
Whether you prefer to receive treatment at our dental clinic or at home using a tooth whitening kit, your dentist will guide you through the process to help you achieve a brighter smile.
In-office or take-home teeth whitening... it's your choice.
Our goal is to help you achieve a whiter, brighter smile, in the way you find simple and convenient. That's why we offer two treatment options – in our office with our dental team, or a personalized process you can do at home. Either way, you'll be on your way to your new smile!
What are the benefits of teeth whitening?
Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you. Teeth whitening can create a brighter smile you'll feel confident showing off.
Additionally, having a whiter smile can inspire you to take better care of your teeth in order to maintain it. In turn, taking care of your oral health can have a positive impact on your overall health and wellbeing.
How does teeth whitening work?
At Amirault Dental Centre, we use a peroxide-based gel that can help you achieve a brighter smile. This gel is considered safe when used as directed.
Before beginning treatment, we will perform a thorough examination of your teeth and gums to ensure they are healthy enough for teeth whitening treatment. Your dentist will also help you determine which shade is right for you.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
First, your dentist applies a thin layer of whitening gel to each tooth. The peroxide, in contact with the teeth, helps eliminate accumulated pigments. Once treatment is complete, you should see a visible improvement in the brightness of your smile.
Personalized Take-Home Teeth Whitening
If you prefer to whiten your teeth at home, we also offer at-home teeth whitening treatments. First, we will take dental impressions and create custom whitening trays to fit your teeth precisely. At home, you will apply the provided whitening gel to the trays and wear them according to your dentist's instructions. Once your treatments are complete, your smile should appear whiter.
Teeth Whitening FAQs
Read the answers to our most frequently asked questions about teeth whitening at Amirault Dental Centre.
-
How long do the effects of teeth whitening last?
Whitening is not permanent. Beverages such as coffee and wine, and certain foods, such as those that contain turmeric, can stain the teeth.
Depending on diet and lifestyle, the effects of whitening may last longer for some people than others. If you maintain a healthy oral hygiene routine, avoid smoking and watch what you eat, you may just desire a touch-up once a year or so.
-
Does insurance cover the cost of teeth whitening?
Most dental insurance will not cover the cost of teeth whitening.
-
Does teeth whitening make teeth more sensitive?
A common short-term side effect of teeth whitening is increased sensitivity. For most people, this gradually fades away within a few days. To minimize any discomfort, we recommend that you use an anti-sensitivity toothpaste before treatment, and for at least two weeks following your treatment.
-
Do teeth whitening products work on all stains?
Brown and yellow-coloured stains tend to respond best to teeth whitening treatments. Some stains tend not to respond to whitening treatments at all. If having a whiter smile is important to you, but your teeth have non-responsive stains, your dentist may recommend a more suitable cosmetic treatment, such as veneers.
-
Does teeth whitening work on dental restorations?
No. Teeth whitening only works on natural teeth and will not work on existing dental restorations such as dental crowns or veneers. If crowns or veneers are part of your treatment plan, teeth whitening should take place before you receive your dental restorations.
-
Will teeth whitening damage my tooth enamel?
When used under the supervision of a qualified dentist, teeth whitening is very unlikely to damage your tooth enamel. Please consult your dentist to make sure you are using any teeth whitening products safely. If you experience any pain, sensitivity, or discomfort anywhere in your mouth, let your dentist know right away. Even if it’s not related to whitening, they will be able to help.
