What to Expect from a Teeth Whitening Treatment

An in-office teeth whitening treatment will start with applying a whitening gel to the surface of your teeth. To activate the gel, an LED light will be applied for a specific amount of time, depending on your teeth and desired results.

All teeth are different and can respond differently to whitening treatments. Fillings, crowns, and veneers can’t be whitened during this process, but they can be replaced to match the new shade of your teeth.

What Causes Discolouration?

Stains and discolouration can be categorized into 3 different types: extrinsic, intrinsic, and age-related.

Extrinsic

Extrinsic discolouration encompasses stains that affect only the surface of the tooth or the tooth enamel. This typically comes from:

Food such as red sauces and chocolate
Beverages such as coffee, red wine, and tea
Tobacco in the form of cigarettes and chewing tobacco

Intrinsic

Intrinsic stains are caused from within the tooth and look more grey in colour. These stains can come from:

Certain medications
An injury to the tooth
Tooth decay
Excessive amounts of fluoride
Genetics

Age-Related

Aging can cause your enamel to begin to wear down, allowing staining or yellowing to occur. Age-related discolouration can also come from a combination of extrinsic and intrinsic factors.

Maintaining Your Results

After a teeth-whitening treatment, your teeth are still prone to becoming stained or discoloured. By practicing good oral hygiene, you can help maintain your results.

Transforming Your Dental Visits with Solea Laser

“The Solea laser technique used by the False Creek Dental Centre has totally changed my experience of visiting the dentist. I know dental health is very important to overall body health, like the mouth is the gateway to the body, digestive system as well as the lungs. On my last visit I needed a filling replacement, with the Solea laser technique I didn’t need freezing and didn’t need the drill. The whole filling replacement was pain free, fast and easy! Truthfully I was euphoric for three days after because I knew future visits would be as stress free. Thanks Lisa for bringing the latest technology in dental to your patients.”
