Professional Teeth Whitening in Mississauga: Achieve Your Brightest, Most Confident Smile
Your smile makes a powerful first impression. If stained or discolored teeth are holding you back,
professional teeth whitening in Mississauga at Meadowvale Town Dental Centre can transform your appearance—often in a single visit.
Under the care of our experienced teeth whitening dentist, you’ll see dramatic, even results that over-the-counter products can’t match.
Why Teeth Lose Their Natural Brightness
Discoloration builds gradually from daily habits, diet, and aging. Understanding stain sources helps you choose the right treatment and keep results longer.
- Dark beverages: Coffee, tea, and red wine contain chromogens that attach to enamel.
- Acidic drinks: Sodas and sports drinks weaken enamel and promote staining.
- Tobacco: Smoking and smokeless tobacco create stubborn brown stains.
- Medications: Some antibiotics and antihistamines cause intrinsic discoloration.
- Aging: Enamel thins over time, revealing more yellow dentin beneath.
Professional vs. Over-the-Counter Whitening
- Concentration & safety: Dentist-supervised gels use higher, carefully controlled peroxide levels for effective, safe whitening.
- Customization: Custom trays/barriers ensure even coverage and protect gums for consistent shade improvement.
- Speed: In-office whitening can brighten multiple shades in about an hour; OTC options take weeks with modest change.
- Clinical oversight: Your dentist screens for cavities or gum issues first, then tailors whitening to your needs.
- Longevity: Professional systems penetrate deeper for results that last significantly longer.
Your Whitening Appointment: Step by Step
- Consultation & assessment: Exam of teeth and gums, stain type evaluation, realistic goal setting.
- Protection & isolation: Gums, lips, and soft tissues are shielded to minimize sensitivity.
- Gel application: Professional-strength hydrogen or carbamide peroxide applied to enamel surfaces.
- Activation & processing: Some systems use LED/laser acceleration; others work effectively without light.
- Multiple cycles: Two to three applications may be completed for optimal shade lift.
- Post-care guidance: Rinse, review results, and personalized aftercare to protect your new brightness.
Most patients see immediate results, with final shade stabilizing within 24–48 hours as teeth rehydrate.
Managing Sensitivity Comfortably
Temporary sensitivity is the most common concern. We minimize it with:
- In-office desensitizers and fluoride varnish
- Adjusted gel strength/exposure time for sensitive teeth
- Sensitivity toothpaste before and after treatment
Sensitivity typically resolves within 24–72 hours.
Maintaining a Brilliant, Long-Lasting Result
- First 48 hours: Avoid dark foods/drinks (coffee, tea, red wine, berries, tomato sauce, dark sodas).
- Rinse with water after staining beverages; use a straw to reduce contact with front teeth.
- Brush within 30 minutes after consuming staining items; floss daily.
- Schedule dental cleanings every six months to remove surface stains.
- Consider touch-ups every 6–12 months based on diet/lifestyle.
- Stop tobacco use to dramatically extend whitening longevity.
Dentist Teeth Whitening: Cost & Value
Fees vary by system, starting shade, and whether you add take-home trays. Professional whitening provides faster, safer,
more predictable, and longer-lasting results than repeated OTC purchases—delivering superior value.
