Teeth Whitening in Ottawa | In-Office & Take-Home

Photo coming soon

Coffee, tea, red wine and time all leave their mark on tooth enamel. Professional whitening lifts those stains far more effectively than store-bought strips, because the gel is stronger and it's applied under a dentist's supervision so your gums are protected.

There are two ways to whiten. In-office whitening brightens your teeth in a single appointment — ideal before a wedding, an interview or a special event. Take-home whitening uses custom-fitted trays and professional gel, so you can whiten gradually over a couple of weeks and top up later.

Whitening works on natural enamel, not on crowns, veneers or fillings, so we check your teeth first and tell you what to expect. It is cosmetic, so it is not covered by the CDCP — but it is one of the simplest, most affordable ways to refresh your smile.

Teeth Whitening — common questions

Still have questions? Our coordinators answer the phone every weekday — really.

Does professional whitening damage enamel?

No. Done under a dentist's supervision, whitening is considered safe for enamel. Some people feel temporary sensitivity for a day or two, and we can adjust the strength or use a desensitizing gel to keep you comfortable.

How long do whitening results last?

Typically from several months to a few years, depending on habits like coffee, tea, red wine and smoking. Occasional touch-ups with your take-home trays keep your smile bright.

Will whitening work on my crowns or fillings?

Whitening only lightens natural enamel. Crowns, veneers and tooth-coloured fillings keep their original shade, so we check for them first and plan around them.
