At-Home Whitening Kits

For patients who prefer to whiten their teeth on their own schedule and in the comfort of their own homes, we offer customized take-home whitening kits.

Unlike store-bought kits, our at-home whitening kits gradually lighten enamel over the course of three to four weeks and include:

  • Medical-strength whitening gel: The whitening power of our at-home kits is far greater than any store-bought product you might find.
  • Customized dental trays for best results: instead of the one-size-fits-all dental trays found in store-bought kits, our application trays are custom-made based on models of your actual teeth. They’re designed to hug the natural contours and grooves of your teeth, enabling consistent and complete whitening of the enamel.
  • Expert dental guidance: Our dentist will advise you on how to use the at-home kit safely and effectively to get the results you want.

Try our at-home whitening kits for near-professional results.

Why Teeth Become Stained or Discoloured?

Surface Stains: Our teeth are protected by a layer of enamel composed primarily of minerals. Tooth enamel is so strong, it’s the hardest substance in your body.

But tooth enamel is also porous meaning it contains tiny holes which absorb substances that stain your teeth, including:
  • Dark-coloured beverages including tea, coffee, wine, colas and fruit juices.
  • Dark-coloured sauces such as tomato and soy sauce.
  • Sugary beverages and foods.
  • Brightly coloured fruit such as berries, cherries and pomegranates.
  • Tobacco products.
  • Poor nutrition and oral hygiene can also discolour your teeth.

Deep Stains: Tooth discolouration also occurs in the inner portion of a tooth, the layer just below the enamel. This tooth layer is naturally yellow or gray in colour. As a person ages, the enamel wears away and the underlying colour shows through, making teeth appear dull or dingy. Medications, illness and injury can also discolor the inner portion of your teeth.

Top Teeth Whitening Option

Teeth whitening is an effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without relying on more invasive procedures like veneers. Having your teeth whitening at our office or carefully following the instructions in your take-home kit will show results without any lasting sensitivity.

Take-home teeth whitening Kit

For patients who prefer to whiten their teeth in the comfort and privacy of their own homes, we offer customized take-home whitening kits. These kits come with customized application trays that hug the natural contours and grooves of your teeth, enabling consistent and complete whitening of the enamel. Unlike store-bought kits, our teeth whitening trays are moulded from models of your actual teeth, a benefit that also reduces risks of tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. Take-home kits gradually lighten enamel over the course of three to four weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plaque forms when bacteria from food and drink particles aren't cleaned properly from your teeth. Over time, plaque hardens to form tartar, which can only be removed by a dentist or hygienist. This yellow coating can form on or around your teeth if you don't brush often enough or thoroughly enough.
While teeth whitening is considered safe, you may experience some teeth sensitivity. You may experience this on your first or second treatment, and it may diminish with time. It is important to always carefully follow the instructions that come with your take-home kit or with over-the-counter products.
If you have any crowns, veneers or fillings on the front teeth, they will not change colour with whitening. Whitening the surrounding teeth may make the crowns and fillings stand out.
Teeth whitening is not often covered by insurance. Call your insurance provider to find out if they cover you. We can provide an estimate for you to submit to your provider.
After a teeth whitening treatment try to avoid any foods or drinks that would leave a stain on a white shirt. Any dark staining drinks like Tea, Coffee, Red Wine, coloured soft or alcoholic drinks and fruit juice and any foods like tomato sauce, curry, soy sauce, red meat, chocolate and all fruit except bananas.
Depending on the type of teeth whitening and how well you maintain your teeth, whitening can last for anywhere from 6 months to up to 3 years.
