In-Office Teeth Whitening in Winnipeg

In-office teeth whitening procedures take about two hours to complete at our dental clinic. Firstly, a barrier is applied around your gums to protect them from the whitening agent. Then, a thin layer of whitening gel is applied to and then activated on each tooth. This process is repeated a few times until the desired shade of white in your smile is achieved.

Teeth Whitening FAQs

Read the answers to our most frequently asked questions about teeth whitening at Reflections Dental Health Centre. 

• How long do the effects of teeth whitening last?

  Teeth whitening isn't a permanent solution to whiten your smile.

  If you still expose your teeth to food and drink that cause staining, you will probably see the new whiteness in your teeth fade after a few months. 

  If you avoid these foods and drinks after your teeth whitening treatment, you may just need a touch up after a year or so. 

• Does teeth whitening make teeth more sensitive?

  Sensitivity is a short-term side effect to teeth whitening. For most patients, it fades away within a few days after a whitening session.

  In order to minimize any of your discomfort, we advise that you use an anti-sensitivity toothpaste before treatment and for at least two weeks after your treatment.

• Do teeth whitening products work on all stains?

  Brown and yellow stains respond the best to teeth whitening treatments.

  Grey, blue and purple-coloured stains tend not to respond to whitening at all. For teeth with these types of stains, patients may be better candidates for cosmetic treatments such as veneers or dental crowns. 

• Does teeth whitening work on dental restorations?

  No, teeth whitening only works on natural teeth. It does not work on existing dental restorations such as veneers or dental crowns. 

  If crowns or veneers are part of your dental treatment plan, you should have your teeth whitened before you receive your restorations so they can be matched to your new colour.

• Will teeth whitening damage my tooth enamel?

  If used under the supervision of a qualified dentist, it is very unlikely that teeth whitening will damage your dental enamel.

  Always consult with your dentist to ensure that you are using any teeth whitening products safely.

• Does insurance cover the cost of teeth whitening?

  Dental insurance does not usually cover the cost of teeth whitening because it is a purely cosmetic procedure with no health benefits for your teeth.
