Teeth Whitening in Ottawa

Teeth whitening is a procedure to lighten the color of your teeth and remove stains. You can have it done at a dentist's office, or do it yourself at home. 

​

The procedure is commonly done using peroxide-based bleaching agents. Generally the longer a whitening stay on the teeth the stronger the results are, however excessive bleaching can damage the enamel and gums. At-home products contain from 3% to 20% peroxide (carbamide or hydrogen peroxides). In-office systems by trained professionals contain greater concentrations from 15% to 43% peroxide that gives a cleaner and more consistent smile without the risk of accidental damage.

Bleaching will not whiten porcelain crowns or tooth-colored composite bondings.

Whitening vs. bleaching

The terms "whitening" and "bleaching" are sometimes used interchangeably, but they don't always mean the same thing. Teeth whitening can be done with either bleaching or non-bleaching products. Bleaching is the type of whitening that involves using bleach containing peroxide.
