Tooth Whitening
Explained

In most cases, the natural colour of teeth is within a range of light greyish-yellow shades. Teeth naturally darken with age and their appearance can be affected by the accumulation of surface stains acquired from the use of tobacco products and the consumption of certain foods or drinks.

In addition, the perception of the colour of teeth is severely affected by skin tone and make-up. Independent of the real colour of their teeth, people with darker skin or who use dark makeup will look like they have brighter teeth.

Although teeth are not naturally meant to be completely white, many Canadians want a brighter smile. Responding to this desire, a wide range of “whitening” options has become available to consumers. These products fall into two main categories: surface whiteners and bleaches.

It should be noted that claims related to tooth whitening are seen as cosmetic in nature by Health Canada. These claims must be accurate, so as not to mislead the public. However, the regulator tolerates some puffery or exaggeration. As a consequence, the results of whitening treatment may not be as convincing as consumers originally expected.

Bleaching

If you live in Brampton or the local area, you can benefit from a teeth whitening procedure at our local dental office. At Bramalea Smiles Dentistry, we are known for improving the appearance of our patients’ smiles. We are a cosmetic dentist and has multiple ways for doing so. We often recommend a teeth bleaching procedure because it is by far the easiest way to transform your smile. After cleaning your teeth, we can complete this procedure in time for a special event or as part of your regular oral health routine.

Type of Tooth Whitening

Surface Whiteners

These products use special abrasives to improve the product’s ability to remove surface stains. Most products in this category are either toothpastes or chewing gums. Because the special abrasives in these whitening products are often only finer versions of what is used in regular toothpastes, they are unlikely to cause excessive tooth wear. However, the effectiveness of these products is limited to surface stains and should not be used as a substitute for professional cleaning.

Bleaches

Most bleaching products are peroxide-based and are actually capable of altering the colours of the tooth itself. However, not all tooth discolourations respond to tooth-bleaching treatments. Individuals contemplating tooth-bleaching should consult with a dentist to determine the cause of the tooth discolouration and to determine whether a bleaching treatment will have the desired result. This step is especially important for patients with fillings, root canal treatments, crowns and/or with extremely dark stains on the anterior teeth.

A number of different bleaching techniques and products are available to patients. Your dentist will use one of these two methods to whiten your teeth:

Vital bleaching is done on “living” teeth and can be used to whiten your teeth if they have become stained by food or tobacco, or if they have become dark with age.
Non-vital bleaching is bleaching done on teeth that are no longer “alive.” If your tooth has changed colour because of a root canal, non-vital bleaching can lighten your tooth from the inside out.

There are three methods for bleaching teeth. The method that will work best for you depends on the number of teeth that need to be bleached, and on how badly they are stained (or discoloured).

  I have visited last year 2019 to tooth fill up. After a week started a  problem. I contacted them specially dr Anita. She asked me to come back with no charges. I went there. Dr Anita fixed it but one month later again started more big problems. Dr Anita has no good experience. She is new learner dentist. Also charge a large bill. It’s a one kind of robing people. Unnecessary extra charge for X-ray.   do not provide a receipt too.  I do not recommend any person to go there. Better search experience dentist in your area.
Hospitality is very poor. Specially Ashok yadav at reception had very poor attitude. In totality,  I felt it’s a cheating and wrong place for treatment.  No good knowledge about dental treatment. Be careful !!!!

  Nice dental place in Bramalea area. Dr Gupta is an expert at what she does. She’s very friendly, and is willing to accommodate if you have special requirements. They are also flexible with time of appointments and in fact agreed to close the place after their usual closing time for me. I have been there more than 3 times, and will return. Recommended!!

  "Very Pleasant Indeed"
It was a very pleasant meeting with Dr Anita and her team. I was suffering from a toothache and infection very badly. I was thinking of removing my tooth as it was bothering a lot . She is very professional in  explaining and providing valuable suggestions and options. I must say "Thank you" for saving my tooth. I felt like two hours for my procedure went by so quick. It is  not easy to find a good Dentist for a family and especially for Kids. My daughter says "I like my Dentist".
I highly recommend Dr. Anita  and her team for your Family .

  I was so scared of going to dentist.... always tried to cancel/postponed my appointment.
When I went for a consult appointment..... I could see what was going on and Dr. Anita was so kind, honest and understanding and she took the time to address my concerns. Also loved the staff and office...
