Smile Brighter Today

Hyland Dental offers different types of teeth whitening and bleaching treatments. This cosmetic fix requires several sessions depending on the degree of staining. Our dentists can determine how many sessions you need to achieve your desired shade, and maintain lasting results.

Professional teeth whitening is available for your convenience as an in-home treatment prepared and managed by our dentists.

In-Home Teeth Whitening

Unlike DIY teeth whitening solutions, our in-home service is designed and managed by our dentists. We start by taking a photo of the current shade of your teeth to compare results against.

We take an impression of your teeth to create custom mouthpieces or trays to wear. We also provide you with bleaching gel applied to the tray, and instructions for wearing it over a certain duration. Ensure to follow the instructions and avoid applying excess gel or leaving the tray on too long to avoid irritating the gums.

Professional vs. DIY Teeth Whitening – The Benefits of Trusting Your Dentist.

Our dentists at Hyland Dental know best, and provide brilliant whitening results. Dentists are equipped with the right training and tools to whiten your teeth, and achieve your desired bright smile.

  • Teeth whitening is done after cleaning: Unlike at-home DIY kits, our dentists will first clean and polish your teeth.
  • Full exam to look for signs of cavities, and fill these. This guarantees maximum effectiveness of teeth bleaching agents because our dentists will ensure that the surface of the teeth are dry. By preventing saliva from interfering with the agent, we can ensure that it penetrates deep into the pores to remove stains.
  • Precise colour-matching: Our dentists will assess the natural colour of your teeth to determine your best shade, the right concentration of bleaching agent, and the number of sessions you need to achieve your best smile.
  • Dental whitening products: Our dentists use the right equipment to ensure a successful teeth whitening treatment. With high-grade products, we provide efficient and effective whitening treatments to offer our patients a glowing smile.
  • Complete dental care: We don’t just stop at whitening your teeth — we also protect your new, brighter smile. Our dentists can treat your teeth with fluoride to give you a stronger, longer-lasting beautiful smile.

    Teeth Whitening: What Works, What Does Not, and What It Costs

    Whitening is the most requested cosmetic treatment we do and the one with the most misinformation attached to it.

    Why professional teeth whitening differs

    Clinic and take-home systems use a controlled concentration of peroxide with custom trays, so the gel reaches the enamel and not the gums. Shop-bought strips leak, miss the edges, and often produce a patchy result on the very teeth you were trying to even out.

    What whitening cannot change

    It lifts stain within enamel. It does not change the colour of crowns, veneers, bonding or fillings, which is why the sequence matters: whiten first, then match new restorations to the new shade. Grey discolouration from an old root canal or from tetracycline responds poorly and may need veneers instead.

    Sensitivity

    Temporary sensitivity is common and settles within a couple of days. A desensitising gel and shorter wear times usually solve it. The Canadian Dental Association summarises the evidence on safety if you want to read further.

    Making it last

    Coffee, red wine, tea and tobacco undo teeth whitening fastest. A professional cleaning before whitening improves the result, and a top-up tray once or twice a year keeps it. Ask for a written quote; fees track the Ontario Dental Association guide.

    Getting a Predictable Result From Teeth Whitening

    Teeth whitening works on the natural tooth structure by breaking down the pigment molecules trapped inside enamel and dentine. That single fact explains most of what follows: it lightens natural teeth, and it does nothing at all to crowns, veneers, bridges or white fillings, which keep whatever shade they were made in.

    In-office whitening uses a stronger gel with the gums fully isolated.

    In-office versus custom take-home trays

    In-office whitening uses a higher-concentration gel with your gums isolated, and produces a visible change in a single appointment. Custom take-home trays use a gentler gel over one to two weeks and often give a more even, longer-lasting result because the change is gradual. Many patients do one in-office session and keep trays for occasional top-ups.

    Why an examination comes first

    Whitening a mouth with untreated decay, a cracked filling or inflamed gums is uncomfortable and sometimes harmful. Grey discolouration from an old injury or from tetracycline responds poorly, and a single dark tooth usually needs internal treatment or a veneer instead. We check for these before quoting, so that nobody pays for a result that was never achievable.

    Sensitivity is normal and temporary

    Short sharp twinges during and for a day or two after treatment are common. Using a potassium nitrate toothpaste for a week beforehand, shortening wear time, or spacing sessions further apart all reduce it. Sensitivity that lasts beyond a few days should be looked at rather than ignored.

    Making the result last

    Coffee, tea, red wine, cola, curry and tobacco are the main culprits. Rinsing with water after them, and keeping up your professional cleaning interval, does more than any whitening toothpaste. Most patients hold their result for one to three years with occasional top-ups. Independent guidance is published by the Canadian Dental Association.
