Teeth Whitening in Calgary

Professional Teeth Whitening at All Smiles Dental Care

Over time, teeth can become stained or discoloured from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, certain medications or the natural ageing process. Professional teeth whitening is one of the simplest ways to brighten your smile.

We offer two options at our clinic at 5149 Country Hills Blvd NW. Zoom is a one-visit, in-office treatment. The take-home kit uses trays made to fit your teeth so you can whiten at your own pace. Patients come to us from across NW Calgary, including Country Hills, Hamptons, Hidden Valley, Panorama Hills, Coventry Hills, Evanston, Sandstone, Kincora, Nolan Hill and Sherwood.

Zoom vs. Take-Home Whitening

Many patients combine the two. They start with an in-office Zoom treatment and keep up the results with take-home sessions. If you want help deciding, read our guide on which teeth whitening method is right for you.

Zoom In-Office Teeth Whitening

Zoom whitening is a popular in-office treatment that can lighten your teeth by several shades in a single visit. Here is what it involves.

• A one-hour appointment
• Whitening gel applied by your dental team and activated by a special LED light
• Protection for your gums and soft tissues during treatment
• Treatment under professional supervision

Zoom suits patients who want visible results quickly, for example before a wedding, a photo or a big event.

Custom Take-Home Whitening Kits

For patients who prefer to whiten at their own pace, your dentist makes custom-fitted trays from impressions of your teeth. The trays spread the whitening gel evenly and fit comfortably. The gel is professional strength, which is stronger than store-bought products.

• Wear the trays for 30 to 60 minutes a day
• Expect gradual results over one to two weeks
• Keep the trays and reuse them for touch-ups

Is Teeth Whitening Safe? Sensitivity and Results

Professional whitening is considered safe when it is supervised by a dental professional. Some patients feel temporary sensitivity, which typically settles within a few days. Tell your dental team if you already have sensitive teeth, as they can take that into account.

Whitening works on natural enamel only. It will not change the colour of crowns, veneers, tooth-coloured fillings or other restorations. If you have porcelain veneers, a dental crown or tooth-coloured fillings at the front of your mouth, your dentist can advise you on getting a matching shade.

How Long Do Whitening Results Last?

Results can last from about six months to two years. How long you keep your results depends on what you eat and drink and how well you look after your teeth. Limiting coffee, tea, red wine and tobacco, brushing and flossing daily and going to your regular dental exams and cleanings all help. Take-home trays make touch-ups easy.
