Professional Teeth Whitening in Airdrie
Professional whitening, planned around your teeth and goals
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Over time, teeth can become stained and discolored from everyday habits like drinking coffee, tea, or wine, eating deeply pigmented foods, or using tobacco. While over-the-counter whitening products offer limited results, professional in-office whitening at Sierra Springs Dental in Airdrie delivers dramatic, long-lasting brightness in a single appointment. Our customized treatments are safe, effective, and supervised by experienced dental professionals.
Benefits of Professional Whitening
Professional whitening offers advantages that store-bought products simply cannot match.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Whitening?
Whitening works best on teeth with surface stains from coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco. It will not change the colour of crowns, veneers, or fillings, so patients with visible restorations on their front teeth may want to consider porcelain veneers or a smile makeover instead. Your dentist checks your oral health first, since whitening is not recommended for untreated cavities or gum disease.
What to Expect During Your Whitening Visit
Your professional whitening appointment at Sierra Springs Dental typically takes about 60 to 90 minutes. Here is what the process looks like:
- Preparation: We begin by examining your teeth and gums to ensure you are a good candidate for whitening. A protective barrier is applied to your gums.
- Application: A professional-grade whitening gel is applied to the surface of your teeth. This gel contains a higher concentration of active ingredients than any over-the-counter product.
- Activation: A special light may be used to accelerate the whitening process and enhance results.
- Results: The gel is removed and your teeth are rinsed. You will see an immediately brighter smile, often several shades whiter.
Caring for Your Whitening Results
Avoid deeply pigmented foods and drinks for 48 hours after treatment, since your teeth are more porous right after whitening. After that, limit coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco, and keep up with regular dental checkups and cleanings to maintain your results.
