Have a Brighter Smile

A brighter, whiter smile can help us appear younger and more vibrant, so it's no wonder that most people would like to have whiter teeth. Our teeth become darker as part of the normal aging process. In addition, foods and drinks that we consume can seep into the teeth over time and cause them to discolour. We offer in-office teeth whitening or custom trays that can be used at home to achieve a brighter smile.

In-office and take home teeth whitening works by entering the outer-most layer of the tooth, and by breaking down the pigments inside the tooth that cause the staining. The teeth will appear whiter and brighter.

Teeth that have old restorations may be particularly likely to absorb stains. If you are looking to achieve an overall brighter tone for your teeth, we may recommend any of the following, depending on the aesthetics of your particular case:

Filling or silver amalgams may need to be replaced.

Simple veneers with composite resin to change the shape and colour of your teeth.

For long-lasting aesthetics and strength it is hard to beat porcelain crowns made by an artisan dental ceramist.
