What is Tooth Whitening?
Tooth Whitening is a dental treatment that corrects stains and discolourations through chemical reactions on your tooth surface. Although it sounds rough, tooth whitening is a non-invasive procedure with outstanding aesthetic results.
We offer tooth whitening for patients with age discolourations, superficial stains, and food dyeing like coffee and wine taints.
While dental whitening is one of the most common treatments in a dental practice, it requires a careful examination and procedure to guarantee long-lasting results without complications.

Is Tooth Whitening Right for Me?
Our ideal candidates for this treatment are patients with superficial stains caused by foods, beverages, smoking, and certain ageing discolouration’s. However, your eligibility depends on the type of stains in your teeth and their complexity.
On the other hand, you will need good oral health, including healthy gums and teeth without decay, to receive the treatment. Additionally, you will require a complete and exhaustive evaluation to determine your compatibility with the therapy and avoid potential complications.
Also, if you have front dental crowns, veneers, and other composite fillings, you might not be eligible for tooth whitening, as the colour difference can be highly noticeable.
Tooth Whitening Methods
Your whitening treatment has two main methods, depending on where you receive the whitening agent.
-
In-Office Whitening
In-office whitening is a dental procedure done in our office by our professional team. It is the most used bleaching method with quick, safe, and immediate results.
We use a highly concentrated bleaching agent in our in-office whitening treatment. This chemical is typically hydrogen peroxide diluted in various concentrations.
Hydrogen peroxide works by disintegrating the pigments trapped inside your teeth’s surface. However, it cannot eliminate pigments out of its reach. As a result, it does not work on internal stains and discolouration.
In-office whitening involves a careful procedure with close supervision and multiple steps. Before applying the whitening agent, you require gum protection and desensitising gel.
At-Home Whitening
It is also known as ambulatory whitening, and it works by wearing customised trays with professional whitening gel at home. At-home whitening is a convenient and comfortable whitening treatment with long-lasting results.
At-home whitening offers a valuable alternative to in-office whitening. We can indicate this alternative to deliver highly aesthetic results with gradual and consistent effects over weeks, obtaining outstanding and maintained results.
In-Office + At-Home Whitening
Sometimes, we might need to perform a combined therapy to enhance your treatment results. This is highly effective when we face darker or moderate superficial discolouration that does not respond to one professional whitening session.

How Long Will My Teeth Stay Whiter?
The results of your treatment depend directly on your dietary habits, oral hygiene routine, and lifestyle. The more you care for your whitening, the more you will be able to enjoy it.
On the contrary, habits like smoking and drinking staining beverages such as wine, tea, and coffee can rapidly reduce your whitening results.
Yet, professional whitening can last for years without needing maintenance whitening sessions if you take the appropriate preventive measures. Your teeth can remain white for long periods with simple periodic touch-ups if you take good care of them.

Benefits of Tooth Whitening
Improved Appearance
Enhancing your appearance increases your confidence and self-esteem and improves your overall quality of life. Solving your dental aesthetic problems can decrease your anxiety and make you look younger and more attractive.
Immediate Results and Safe Procedure
Dental whitening provides outstanding results in a relatively short amount of time. Moreover, with a quick and controlled procedure, our team ensures you receive safe therapy without complications. While there are misconceptions about whitening side effects, it is a secure treatment with few secondary effects.
Non-Invasive Procedure
Unlike other cosmetic dental treatments, tooth whitening is a minimally invasive procedure. It does not require any surgery, wearing your enamel, or anaesthesia. As a result, whitening is a conservative alternative to other aesthetic procedures like crowns or veneers.
Customisable Treatment Options
We can combine and tailor your treatment to your needs and preferences. At Westmount Dental, you can make an informed decision about your dental whitening treatment, whether you choose an at-home or in-office whitening procedure.

Risks and Side Effects
With the appropriate measures and procedures, there is little risk of side effects and complications, as whitening is a safe treatment with constant monitoring and preventive actions.
Yet, the most common side effects include post-operative tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. However, these signs and symptoms are uncommon and momentary.
We can prevent tooth sensitivity with dental desensitisation and gum lesions with the appropriate protective barrier during the procedure.
Also, most issues usually result from over-the-counter product misuse and in-office protocol errors. However, do not worry. You are in great hands At Westmount Dental.
Tooth Whitening Cost
Your whitening treatment cost depends on multiple factors, such as the chosen method, commercial brands, and previous additional procedures needed.
Generally, professional in-office whitening is slightly more expensive than at-home options. However, consult our team to know your financing and payment options.

The Process of Tooth Whitening
Your whitening journey starts with a complete evaluation and assessment of your health status. With a comprehensive initial consultation, we can determine the best approach for your treatment.
The procedure steps depend on your whitening method and desired results. At-home whitening requires dental impressions, laboratory tray manufacturing, and at-home whitening gel applications.
In-office whitening, on the other side, requires one or multiple sessions that include the following steps:
-
- Dental prophylaxis and tartar removal
- Desensitising gel application
- Gum and soft tissue protection
- Whitening agent activation with curing light.

Is tooth whitening painful?
Tooth whitening shouldn’t cause any pain if it’s done by a professional dentist. Our dentists know how to whiten teeth and will ensure the right level of whitening agent is used to protect the gum.
What are the advantages of tooth whitening?
Tooth whitening treatments can enhance the appearance of your smile, making gorgeous straight smiles even more stunning. Teeth staining and discolouration can greatly age the appearance of the mouth and face, but teeth whitening can reverse this process and provide a younger, brighter smile.
