Teeth Whitening Brantford
What to Expect During Your Whitening Appointment
One does not simply walk in and whiten their teeth with first a quick assessment. Imagine applying whitening chemicals to teeth that have cavities and gum disease. We’ll check for cavities, gum health, and any existing dental work like crowns or veneers that won’t respond to whitening gel. This step ensures we set realistic expectations and choose the method that’ll work best for you.
For in-office treatment, the appointment typically takes about an hour. We apply a protective barrier to your gums, apply the whitening gel to your teeth, and let it work its magic. You’ll walk out the same day with a noticeably brighter smile.
For take-home trays, we’ll take impressions at your first visit and have your custom trays ready for pickup shortly after. We’ll walk you through exactly how to apply the gel and how long to wear the trays each day.
Keeping Your Results Long-Term
Daily Habits That Help
Brushing twice a day, flossing regularly, and rinsing after coffee, tea, or red wine will go a long way in maintaining your results. Using a whitening toothpaste between treatments can also help prevent new surface stains from building up.

What are the benefits of whitening my teeth?
Teeth whitening can lighten your smile up to several shades whiter making it very noticeable. A whiter smile can boost confidence, and looks great in photos.
There are no real oral health benefits other than reminding us to get our regular dental cleanings and keep proper hygiene to make the whitening really stand out.
