Teeth Whitening

Teeth discoloration can be caused by a variety of circumstances, ranging from simple staining to dental damage. We use a range of techniques to restore your smile’s whiteness and confidence. The following treatments can be used alone or in conjunction with restorative dental treatments for optimal results. You can schedule a free appointment to review the available choices with us.

Hygienist

A visit to the hygienist can significantly improve your smile by removing superficial discoloration, plaque, and tartar.

Teeth Whitening

There are a variety of whitening techniques, ranging from exterior whitening to interior whitening in more complicated cases. Whitening does not eliminate “staining,” but it can substantially brighten and even out tooth colour, and it can be used to achieve a uniform shade across all teeth.

Composite Bonding & Veneers

Composite bonding is a straightforward, non-invasive, and cost-effective method for addressing tooth discoloration. It can be used on a single tooth or numerous teeth to create a more uniform smile in colour or shape.

Veneers entail bonding a very thin porcelain facing to the front of the tooth and are an easy solution to enhance the appearance of a variety of cosmetic concerns, such as tooth discoloration.
