Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening treatments to help you achieve a brighter, more confident smile.
Introduction
A bright, white smile can significantly boost your confidence and make a great first impression. At Northcote Family Dentist, we offer professional teeth whitening treatments that deliver dramatic results safely and effectively. Whether you prefer the convenience of in-office whitening for immediate results or the flexibility of take-home whitening trays, we have options to suit your lifestyle and goals. Professional whitening is more effective than over-the-counter products because we use higher-concentration bleaching agents and custom-fitted trays for even, predictable results. During your consultation, we'll assess your teeth and discuss which whitening method is best for you.
Procedure Overview
For in-office whitening, we begin by protecting your gums and lips, then apply a professional-strength whitening gel to your teeth. A special light may be used to activate the gel and accelerate the whitening process. The treatment typically takes 60-90 minutes, and you'll see results immediately – often several shades whiter in just one visit. For take-home whitening, we create custom-fitted trays from impressions of your teeth and provide professional whitening gel. You'll wear the trays for a specified time each day (usually 30 minutes to a few hours) for 1-2 weeks. Both methods are safe and effective, with take-home kits offering more gradual whitening and the flexibility to maintain results over time.
Aftercare Instructions
After whitening, your teeth may be temporarily sensitive – this is normal and usually subsides within a day or two. Use sensitivity toothpaste if needed. For the first 24-48 hours, avoid foods and drinks that can stain teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and dark sauces. If you smoke, try to refrain for at least 48 hours. Maintain your bright smile with good oral hygiene – brush twice daily, floss regularly, and visit us for routine cleanings. Touch-up treatments every 6-12 months can help maintain your results.
