COSMETIC DENTISTRY
Professional teeth whitening
Professional whitening that lifts stains faster and more evenly than store-bought kits.
WHAT TO EXPECT
What does professional teeth whitening involve at Orangeville Smiles Dentistry?
Orangeville Smiles Dentistry offers professional teeth whitening for Orangeville patients who want a brighter smile without the guesswork of over-the-counter kits. The in-office formula is stronger than what's sold in stores, and it's applied under a dentist's supervision to help protect your gums and enamel throughout the process. Most patients see noticeably lighter results after a single session, though some choose a take-home kit to maintain or gradually build on those results. Coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco staining typically respond well to this treatment.
- Noticeably brighter results than store-bought kits
- Custom take-home trays or in-office options
- Even results across all your teeth
- Supervised to protect enamel and sensitivity
WHO IS THIS FOR

- Patients preparing for a wedding, photos, or another event who want faster results than store kits provide

COST & COMPARISON
How much does professional teeth whitening cost at Orangeville Smiles Dentistry?
In-office professional whitening in North America is often priced somewhere between $400 and $800 per treatment session, with take-home kits sometimes priced lower. Orangeville Smiles Dentistry follows the ODA Fee Guide and will confirm your exact cost once your teeth have been assessed.
IN-OFFICE WHITENING VS. OVER-THE-COUNTER KITS
Store-bought strips and gels use a much weaker bleaching agent, so results are usually slower and less even, especially along the gumline. In-office whitening at Orangeville Smiles Dentistry uses a stronger formula applied under supervision, which typically produces faster, more consistent results in a single visit. The tradeoff is cost, since professional whitening usually costs more than a drugstore kit.
RISKS & CONSIDERATIONS
What are the risks of professional teeth whitening?
- Temporary tooth sensitivity to hot or cold is common for a day or two after treatment
- Whitening does not change the colour of crowns, veneers, or fillings, which can leave them looking mismatched
- Results are not permanent and typically fade over months depending on diet and habits
- Overuse of whitening products can irritate gums or wear on enamel over time
AFTERCARE
What does aftercare look like after professional teeth whitening?
- Avoid coffee, red wine, tea, and berries for the first 24 to 48 hours
- Rinse with water after eating darker-coloured foods in the days after
- Use touch-up trays periodically to maintain your brightness
- Continue regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits
- Contact us if sensitivity lasts more than a couple of days
