Teeth Whitening in Ajax, ON
Professional teeth whitening removes stains and lightens your smile by multiple shades, safely and quickly, with results far beyond what store bought products achieve.
Understanding Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening uses a high concentration bleaching agent, applied under dental supervision, to lighten the natural colour of your teeth. Unlike over the counter strips, professional treatment achieves significantly more dramatic and uniform results, often three to eight shades lighter in a single appointment.
Teeth become discoloured from coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, certain medications, and natural aging. Professional whitening removes surface stains and penetrates the enamel to lighten its underlying shade, restoring a brighter, more youthful appearance.
Benefits of Teeth Whitening
- Multiple shades lighter in a single appointment
- Safe application supervised by a dental professional
- Longer lasting than at home whitening products
- Even, consistent whitening across all visible teeth
- Custom take home trays available to maintain results
- Fast treatment, typically 60 to 90 minutes
Keeping Your Results
- The first 48 hours matter most, so go easy on coffee, tea, red wine, and dark sauces
- Rinse with water after staining drinks rather than letting them sit on the teeth
- A straw helps keep iced coffee and cola off the front teeth
- Custom take home trays let you top up the result rather than starting over
- Routine cleanings remove the surface staining that builds up between whitening sessions
Cost of Teeth Whitening

Common Questions
Teeth Whitening FAQ
Is professional whitening safe?
Yes. Professional whitening is applied under dental supervision, using concentrations and application methods that are far more controlled than store bought kits, which reduces the risk of gum irritation or uneven results.
How white can my teeth get?
Most patients see their teeth lighten by three to eight shades in a single appointment, though your exact results depend on your starting shade and the cause of your discolouration.
How long do whitening results last?
Results commonly last from several months up to a couple of years, depending on your diet and habits. Custom take home trays make it easy to touch up your results as needed rather than starting over.
Does whitening work on every kind of stain?
Whitening works very well on surface stains from food, drink, and tobacco. Some deeper or medication related discolouration may respond less dramatically, which is why an assessment beforehand helps set realistic expectations.
Can I whiten if I have sensitive teeth?
In many cases, yes. Your dentist will review your sensitivity and history before treatment and can adjust the approach, including concentration and timing, to keep the process comfortable.
