Teeth Whitening in Northwest Calgary

Why settle for at-home teeth whitening when you can get a more advanced form of teeth whitening from a dentist near you?

We’ve all seen those kits with strips and rinses that promise whiter teeth, but the only way to get bright white teeth is by going to a dentist like Carrington Dental. We use the latest chemicals and technology to get teeth many shades whiter than you can get from at-home kits.

What is Teeth Whitening from a Dentist?

Teeth whitening is a process that employs bleaching agents to make the tooth surface lighter in color. Teeth whitening aims to reduce or eliminate coffee, tea, tobacco use, and aging stains. It can also be used as an aesthetic procedure for people worried about their appearance due to discolored teeth.

How is Teeth Whitening Done?

Teeth whitening is usually done in a dentist’s office. The process can take anywhere from one to several appointments, depending on the degree of discoloration and how many teeth need treatment.

The teeth whitening procedure at a dentist’s office is much more thorough and effective than at-home treatment. The process involves using a special gel that is applied to your teeth and then activated by ultraviolet light. The tooth’s entire surface, including tiny pits and grooves, are all exposed to the whitening treatment. This means a much stronger and complete whitening process that can handle even the stubbornest teeth stains.

Is Teeth Whitening Safe?

Our dentists will want to ensure that there are no pre-existing conditions that could be worsened by teeth whitening before you undergo this procedure. Carrington Dental cautions over the use over-the-counter tooth-whitening products because they can lead to irritation, discomfort, and worsening gum disease.

Other than some pre-existing conditions, professional teeth whitening is a safe way to improve your smile.
