Check the teeth and gums
Cavities, gum irritation, cracks or other concerns may need to be addressed before elective whitening.
Smile-focused care
Professional Teeth Whitening
Vulcan Dental offers professional in-office and take-home whitening options for patients who want to lighten natural tooth colour.
How we approach it
Start with the diagnosis, then choose the treatment.
Whitening response varies depending on the type of staining, existing restorations and tooth sensitivity. We can help determine whether whitening is appropriate and which approach best fits your goals.
Care may include
- In-office professional whitening
- Custom take-home whitening trays
- Whitening refill options
- Assessment of existing crowns, fillings and veneers before whitening
- Discussion of tooth sensitivity and expectations
- Sequencing whitening with planned cosmetic or restorative work
What to expect
A simple, step-by-step process.
Choose an approach
We compare in-office and take-home options based on your goals, schedule and sensitivity history.
Maintain the result
Whitening is not permanent. Diet, habits and natural aging influence how long the colour change lasts.
Questions about teeth whitening
Common questions.
These answers are general. Your dentist can give you advice that is specific to your situation after an assessment.
Will crowns and fillings whiten?
No. Restorative materials do not whiten in the same way as natural tooth enamel, which can affect colour matching in visible areas.
Can whitening cause sensitivity?
Temporary sensitivity can occur. Tell us if you already have sensitive teeth so the whitening approach can be planned accordingly.
Is professional whitening permanent?
No. Tooth colour changes over time and touch-up treatment may be desired in the future.
