Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Everyone’s teeth are unique—age, lifestyle, diet, and medications all play a role in their colour and health. A whitening product that works for one person may not work for you, and some store-bought products can even harm your gums.
Our professional teeth whitening offers key advantages over over-the-counter options:
- Personalized Treatment: We take the time to understand your goals and expectations. After a thorough dental exam, we recommend the best whitening option tailored to your oral health and desired results.
- Expertly Performed: Our experienced dentists are trained in advanced whitening techniques and follow strict safety protocols to ensure a comfortable and effective procedure.
- Dramatic, Immediate Results: We use prescription-strength whitening agents—the most powerful on the market—to brighten your teeth in as little as one hour.
- Even, Consistent Whitening: Unlike drugstore whitening strips, which often result in patchy or uneven whitening, our professional treatment ensures consistent, full-coverage results across all angles of your teeth.
- Enhanced Comfort: To reduce sensitivity and gum irritation, we use advanced whitening technology, including laser treatments for a gentler experience.
Only a qualified dentist can determine the safest, most effective whitening option for you. Call us today to schedule your consultation and achieve the brighter, more confident smile you deserve!
At-Home Whitening Kits
For those who prefer to whiten their teeth on their own schedule, we offer customized take-home whitening kits that deliver professional-grade results in the comfort of your home.
Unlike store-bought options, our at-home whitening kits gradually lighten enamel over three to four weeks and include:
- Medical-Strength Whitening Gel: More powerful than over-the-counter products, providing superior whitening results.
- Custom-Fitted Trays: Unlike generic store-bought trays, ours are molded to fit your teeth perfectly, ensuring even whitening across all surfaces.
- Expert Guidance: Our dentist will provide detailed instructions on how to safely and effectively use your whitening kit for optimal results.
Enjoy the convenience of at-home whitening with the power of a professional-grade treatment. Ask us about our take-home kits today!
When to whiten?
Teeth whitening is most effective when planned at the right time, especially if you’re considering crowns, bridges, veneers, or fillings in the near future. Since whitening treatments do not change the colour of dental restorations, we recommend whitening first so your dentist can match the shade of your future dental work to your newly brightened teeth.
Professional teeth whitening can effectively remove surface stains and deep discoloration, giving you a brighter, more uniform smile. Talk to us today about the best time to whiten for long-lasting, natural-looking results!

Why Do Teeth Become Stained or Discoloured?
Teeth can become stained or discoloured due to a variety of factors, affecting both the surface enamel and the inner layers of the tooth.
Surface Stains
Your teeth are protected by strong enamel, the hardest substance in your body. However, enamel is also porous, meaning it can absorb staining substances from everyday foods and drinks, including:
- Dark beverages like coffee, tea, wine, cola, and fruit juices
- Dark sauces such as tomato sauce and soy sauce
- Sugary foods and drinks that contribute to staining
- Brightly coloured fruits like berries, cherries, and pomegranates
- Tobacco products, which can cause yellowing over time
- Poor nutrition and oral hygiene, leading to enamel weakening and staining
Deep Stains:
Tooth discoloration doesn’t just happen on the surface. The inner layer of your tooth, just below the enamel, is naturally yellow or gray. Over time, aging, enamel wear, medications, illness, and injury can cause this deeper layer to show through, making teeth look dull or discoloured.
Professional teeth whitening can remove both surface stains and deep discoloration, helping restore your smile’s brightness and vibrancy. Book a consultation today to learn more!
Top Teeth Whitening Options
Achieving a brighter smile doesn’t have to be complicated. Teeth whitening offers a simple way to enhance your natural tooth colour without invasive procedures. Whether you choose an in-office treatment or a take-home kit, professional whitening provides safe and noticeable results.
Professional In-Office Whitening
For those looking for immediate results, in-office whitening is the most efficient option. A specialized whitening formula is applied to the teeth and activated with advanced technology to lift deep stains. This method delivers visible brightness in just one visit while minimizing discomfort, making it a great choice for those wanting fast, professional-grade results.
Take-Home Whitening Kit
If you prefer a more gradual approach, take-home whitening kits allow you to brighten your teeth on your own schedule. Unlike over-the-counter options, these kits include trays custom-fitted to your teeth, ensuring even whitening and a more comfortable experience. The whitening solution works over a few weeks, gently removing stains while reducing the risk of sensitivity.
Cost of Professional Teeth Whitening in Oshawa
The cost of professional teeth whitening depends on the method you choose. In-office treatments typically range from $600 to $1200, while take-home kits offer a more affordable option at approximately $300 to $600, all while still being guided by dental professionals.
Why the difference in price? It comes down to effectiveness, convenience, and professional oversight. Here’s a closer look at what each option offers:
In-Office Whitening
Performed by experienced dental professionals, this method delivers the fastest and most effective results. The process uses powerful whitening agents applied with precision, minimizing gum irritation and sensitivity. In just one session, you can achieve dramatic whitening that would take weeks or months with other methods.
Take-home kit
For those who prefer a gradual approach, take-home kits offer a cost-effective alternative. Under professional guidance, these kits contain stronger whitening agents than drugstore brands, providing noticeable results in weeks, not months. The custom-made trays ensure even application while reducing the risk of gum irritation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Are My Teeth Yellow Even Though I Brush Them?
Even with regular brushing, plaque buildup can lead to yellowing. When bacteria from food and drinks aren’t thoroughly cleaned, plaque hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dentist or hygienist. Tartar can create a yellowish coating around your teeth, especially if brushing isn’t frequent or thorough enough.
Is Teeth Whitening Safe?
Yes, teeth whitening is considered safe, but some people may experience temporary tooth sensitivity during the first or second treatment. This usually diminishes over time. It’s important to carefully follow the instructions on your take-home kit or any over-the-counter products to prevent irritation.
Will Whitening Affect My Veneers or Fillings?
No, crowns, veneers, and fillings do not change colour with whitening treatments. If you whiten your natural teeth, these restorations may stand out if they are a different shade.
Is Teeth Whitening Covered by Insurance?
Teeth whitening is generally not covered by insurance, as it is considered a cosmetic procedure. Contact your insurance provider to check your coverage. We can also provide an estimate for submission to your provider.
What Should I Avoid to Keep My Teeth White Longer?
After whitening, avoid foods and drinks that would stain a white shirt. This includes:
-
- Dark beverages like tea, coffee, red wine, cola, and fruit juice
- Coloured sauces such as tomato sauce, curry, soy sauce
- Dark foods like chocolate, red meat, and most fruits (except bananas)
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Last?
The longevity of teeth whitening depends on the type of treatment and how well you maintain your teeth. Results can last anywhere from 6 months to 3 years with proper care.
What Our Patients Say
Jason
Another great visit!
I have had nothing but great treatment for me and my family from day 1 when we became patients of Dr. Danis’ office.
Today I received a checkup and cleaning from Swati, a hygenist there – she is very thoughtful, thorough and knowledgeable. I appreciate her insight and advice – you can tell she is well informed on oral health and health in general.
They also track measurables when it comes to my teeth and gums and reference whether or not I am headed in the right direction.
