Teeth Whitening

Professional teeth whitening offers convenient treatment options to eliminate stains and brighten your smile. At Jansz Dental, we offer two options—in-chair teeth whitening and custom take-home whitening kits.

What Causes Tooth Staining?

There are several lifestyle factors, foods and beverages that contribute to tooth stains.

Medications — Certain antibiotics, such as tetracycline, and other medications may cause tooth discolouration.
Aging — Over time, it’s natural for our teeth to become more dulled or yellowed with age.
Tobacco Use — Smoking cigarettes or using tobacco products can leave your teeth with brown or yellow stains.
Oral Hygiene — Inconsistent oral home care can leave teeth stained or discoloured.
Foods and Beverages — Black coffee and tea, red wine, dark berries, soy sauce, curries and tomato sauce can all cause tooth stains.

For stains resistant to teeth-whitening products, our dentists may recommend treatment options such as composite bonding, porcelain veneers, or crowns.

Why Choose Your Dentist for Teeth Whitening?

With all those teeth whitening options available at the store, why is it beneficial to choose your dentist for bleaching treatment? Here are the key advantages of professional teeth whitening.

Customised Options

Your dentist can deliver customised treatments to bleach your teeth, often providing better results.

Safe Supervision

Your dentist can advise you on what to do if any concerns arise with teeth whitening, like tooth sensitivity.

Excellent Results

With high-strength whitening gel, your dentist may be able to deliver better results faster.

Reliable Products

Rest assured that the products we use are reliable for tooth whitening.

Frequently Asked Questions

A bright, confident smile can make a wonderful difference to how you look and feel, and teeth whitening is one of the simplest and most effective ways to achieve it. At Jansz Dental, we offer professional whitening treatments that deliver safe, reliable results.

When to Think about Professional Teeth Whitening in Sherwood

Teeth whitening might be worth considering if you:

Notice that your teeth have gradually yellowed or dulled over time
Feel self-conscious about staining caused by coffee, tea, red wine or certain foods
Are a smoker or former smoker looking to refresh your smile
Have a special occasion coming up, such as a wedding, graduation or job interview
Have recently completed orthodontic treatment and want to make the most of your newly straightened smile
Simply want a confidence boost and feel that a brighter smile would make a positive difference

It is worth noting that professional whitening can deliver significantly better, longer-lasting results than over-the-counter products. Your dentist can tailor the treatment to your needs and monitor the process to ensure your teeth and gums remain healthy throughout.

Alternative Smile Options

However, teeth whitening is not suitable for everyone. It works on natural tooth enamel but will not change the colour of crowns, veneers or fillings. It is also not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women or for patients with certain dental health concerns. For this reason, it is always best to have a consultation before proceeding.

The most important step is to ensure your oral health is in good shape before beginning any whitening treatment, so your dentist will carry out a thorough check-up beforehand to make sure you are a good candidate.

How to Get Started with Professional Teeth Whitening in Sherwood

The best way to determine whether a teeth-whitening treatment will work for you is to book an evaluation with one of our dentists. They’ll discuss your smile goals and assess your needs to make appropriate treatment recommendations to help you achieve your desired results.

Professional Teeth Whitening at Jansz Dental

In-Chair Teeth Whitening

This procedure takes place in our dental clinic. We’ll start by placing protective barriers around your gums and soft tissues. Then we’ll apply a high-strength bleaching gel to your teeth and let it work on eliminating stains. Depending on the severity of your tooth staining, we may reapply the gel.

In-chair whitening typically delivers quick results and is a great option for patients with a significant upcoming event, such as a wedding or vacation.

Custom Take-Home Kits

With a take-home kit, you’re free to whiten your teeth at home when it’s most convenient for your schedule.

We’ll take impressions of your teeth and use them to create plastic trays to fit over them. You’ll apply the bleaching gel to your trays and wear them for about 30 minutes each day. Most patients achieve their desired results in around 14 days.
