Teeth Whitening in Winnipeg
Our Winnipeg dental office provides both in-office and take-home teeth whitening (bleaching) treatments that can help lighten your natural tooth enamel colour.
What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening uses bleaching agents that are peroxide-based and designed to make the colour of your teeth lighter. Oxygen acts on the tooth enamel as the active ingredient breaks down, creating the whitening effect.
Teeth Whitening Options
At Academy Dental Group, we offer the following treatment options for teeth whitening. Your dentist can help you decide which option is best for you.
In-Office Treatment
We provide professional bleaching treatments at our dental office. We will start by placing a shield on your gums to guard them from the whitening solution, and then apply the product to your teeth using a custom mouthguard-like tray.
Take-Home Treatment
We also offer take-home teeth whitening kits, so you can lighten your teeth from the comfort and convenience of your home.
Is teeth whitening for me?
With age, teeth become darker. Other factors such as smoking or consuming beverages like coffee and tea can also increase surface stains and darken the appearance of teeth.
If you are bothered by your darkened or stained teeth, the whitening process is an effective way to lighten their natural colour in a non-intrusive manner. Although it will not entirely restore the colour of your teeth, it may help to lighten them.
