Teeth Whitening in London – Brighten Your Smile

Call We Smile Dentistry about teeth whitening today!

Many people notice changes in tooth colour over time due to foods, beverages, or natural ageing. Teeth whitening is one option that’s designed to help lighten the appearance of surface stains. At We Smile Dentistry in London, ON, we offer dentist-supervised whitening services created to support your oral health goals in a measured and personalized way. Our team provides information, guidance, and follow-up so you can make decisions based on your needs.

Understanding Why Tooth Colour Changes

Teeth naturally vary in shade from person to person. Over time, the enamel can absorb pigments from coffee, tea, red wine, berries, or tobacco. Age-related changes also contribute to a darker or more yellow appearance. These shifts are common and do not necessarily indicate a dental problem, but some people prefer to explore whitening to adjust the shade of their teeth. Dentist-supervised whitening allows for an assessment of whether the procedure is appropriate for your oral health.

What Happens During a Whitening Appointment

Your visit begins with a dental examination by our general dentist in London, ON. This allows our doctor to confirm whether whitening is suitable.

1. Cleaning and Preparation

A teeth cleaning may be recommended if plaque or tartar is present. This can help promote even application of the whitening material and ensures the teeth and gums are ready for treatment.

2. Personalized Application

Our teeth whitening program begins with an at-home kit that includes custom-made application trays (with a storage case) for both upper and lower arches, as well as a supply of professional-grade whitening gel. Patients fill the trays and insert, whitening for about half an hour a day until the enamel colour reaches the desired level of brilliance. Re-treat periodically to keep your smile bright.

3. Monitoring Throughout the Process

During whitening, our dentist or clinical team monitors the procedure to assess the response. Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity; this is typically short-lived and can be managed with adjustments or recommendations for at-home care.

At-Home Habits to Support Whitening Results

Between visits, simple daily habits can help maintain a bright appearance:

• Brushing twice daily with a soft-bristle toothbrush
• Choosing a non-abrasive toothpaste
• Reducing frequent exposure to staining beverages
• Rinsing with water after foods or drinks known to stain
• Avoiding tobacco use
• Continuing regular dental check-ups and cleanings

These habits can support overall oral health and help slow the return of surface staining.
