Professional Teeth Whitening for a Brighter Smile
Coffee, tea, tobacco, aging, and other factors can gradually affect the colour of natural teeth. Professional teeth whitening is designed to lighten natural tooth structure and reduce certain types of staining. Our dentists can assess your smile and help determine whether teeth whitening is appropriate for you.

Explore Your Cosmetic Dentistry Options
Teeth whitening is one way to enhance your smile, but different cosmetic concerns may benefit from different treatments. Deer Lake Dental offers cosmetic and restorative options that can address tooth colour, shape, minor damage, missing teeth, and other smile concerns.
Dental Bonding
Improve minor chips and imperfections using tooth-coloured bonding material.
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional guidance can help you determine whether whitening is suitable for your teeth before treatment begins. Not every type of discolouration responds to whitening in the same way, and existing restorations such as crowns, veneers, and fillings will not whiten like natural tooth structure.
At Deer Lake Dental, our dentists can evaluate your teeth, discuss your desired results, and help you choose between in-house whitening and a Take Home Kit. Your oral health and any existing tooth sensitivity can also be considered when planning treatment.

What is the difference between in-house whitening and Take Home Kits?
In-house teeth whitening is performed at Deer Lake Dental under professional supervision, making it convenient for patients who prefer to complete their whitening treatment during a dental visit. Take Home Kits allow whitening to take place gradually at home using professionally provided materials and instructions. Your dentist can help you choose an option based on your teeth, sensitivity, preferences, and smile goals.
How do I know if professional teeth whitening is right for me?
Professional teeth whitening may be suitable if you have healthy natural teeth affected by certain types of staining or discolouration. However, the cause of the colour change, your oral health, existing sensitivity, and dental restorations can influence your treatment options. A dental assessment allows our dentists to examine your smile and determine whether whitening or another cosmetic treatment may be more appropriate.
Will teeth whitening work on crowns, veneers, or fillings?
Teeth whitening products are designed to lighten natural tooth structure and generally do not change the colour of crowns, veneers, fillings, or other dental restorations. This can create differences in colour if restorations are located in visible areas of your smile. Before whitening, your dentist can review your existing dental work and explain how treatment may affect the overall appearance and consistency of your smile.
Can teeth whitening cause tooth sensitivity?
Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity during or after whitening treatment. How much sensitivity occurs can vary depending on the individual, the condition of the teeth, and the whitening approach being used. At Deer Lake Dental, your dentist can consider any existing sensitivity when discussing your options and provide guidance for making the whitening process more comfortable when appropriate.
How can I help maintain my teeth whitening results?
Whitening results can change over time as natural teeth are exposed to foods, beverages, tobacco, and other factors that contribute to staining. Regular brushing, flossing, professional Dental Cleanings, and good oral hygiene can help maintain the appearance of your smile. Limiting frequent exposure to strongly staining foods and drinks may also help, and your dentist can discuss future whitening maintenance based on your individual needs.
