Professional teeth whitening can effectively remove stains and safely lighten the colour of your teeth. At Clinique Dentaire Gatineau, our dentists offer both in-office and take-home treatment options.
Why Teeth Darken
As you age, your teeth become more vulnerable to staining from food and other substances. Because your tooth enamel attracts food particles naturally, products such as red wine, tea, coffee, tobacco, and nicotine can cause staining on your teeth.
How Teeth Whitening Works
To whiten your teeth, our Gatineau dentists use peroxide-based bleaching agents. As the active ingredient breaks down, it creates oxygen that penetrates the tooth's enamel, removing stains and creating the whitening effect we see.
Whitening agents used in teeth whitening are designed to reverse the yellowing effects staining and aging can have, lightening the colour of your teeth and restoring the appearance of your smile.
Teeth Whitening Options
At Clinique Dentaire Gatineau, we offer both in-office and take-home treatment options for teeth whitening.
In-Office Treatment
We can help whiten your smile effectively and safely during an appointment at our dental clinic in Gatineau. Your dentist will start out by protecting your gums by placing a barrier around them. Each tooth will then be covered with a thin layer of gel. The chemicals in the gel will begin to activate.
Take-Home Treatment
You may prefer to lighten your teeth from the comfort and convenience of your own home using a whitening tray that we will create to restore the brightness of your smile. This whitening tray will be customized to fit your unique smile,
