The Importance of Everyday Oral Care for Whiter Teeth

We all know the way to keep your teeth white and bright is to follow a consistent oral health routine. Brushing twice a day, flossing at least once a day and visiting your dentist every 6 months for professional cleanings are the key habits for good oral hygiene. However even with these habits your pearly white smile may fade over time.

Age and genetics play a role in tooth discolouration but lifestyle choices have the biggest impact. Drinks like coffee, tea and red wine are well known for leaving surface stains, tobacco use can lead to yellow, brown or even grey teeth. If you’ve tried over the counter products and were disappointed with the results, professional teeth whitening treatments, in-office or custom take-home options are a safer and more effective solution.

What is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is one of the simplest and most effective ways to enhance your smile. Over time your teeth may lose their brightness due to diet, aging or smoking but professional whitening treatments can reverse these effects. By using dentist supervised bleaching agents like carbamide peroxide stains are broken down safely and brighter teeth are revealed.This process targets surface stains and even deeper discoloration within the enamel. Unlike whitening toothpaste or store-bought kits, professional whitening gives better results and protects your soft tissues from gum irritation. With guidance from our dental team, you’ll get a safe procedure tailored to your aesthetic goals.

Benefits of Teeth Whitening

    Our professional teeth whitening is monitored, reducing risks of gum irritation or uneven results. This level of safety isn’t possible with over the counter products.
  • Quick Results

Benefits of Teeth Whitening

If you prefer whitening at home but want professional results, Maple Ridge Smiles Dental offers custom take-home whitening trays. Unlike generic kits, these trays are molded from impressions of your own teeth, so it’s a precise and comfortable fit. This prevents gum irritation from leaking gel and ensures all visible areas are evenly whitened.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Not everyone is a good candidate for take-home whitening. Some stains, like those from root canals or intrinsic discoloration, don’t respond to whitening treatments. Existing crowns, veneers or bonded teeth won’t whiten like natural enamel. In these cases, alternative cosmetic dental options like new restorations may be recommended to achieve your aesthetic goals.

The Teeth Whitening Procedure at Maple Ridge Smiles Dental

Whether you choose in-office whitening or a take-home treatment, our Maple Ridge dentist will make sure your experience is safe, comfortable and effective.

  1. Consultation and Evaluation
    We start with a full oral health assessment to confirm whitening is safe for you. This includes checking for gum disease or missing teeth and discussing your expectations.
  2. Impressions and Tray Fabrication (for take-home kits)
    We take impressions of your teeth using dental putty and fabricate flexible trays that fit snugly. A dental lab customizes these trays to cover every tooth evenly.
  3. Selecting the Whitening Gel
    Our dental team chooses the right bleaching agent strength for you. Stronger gels whiten faster but increase the risk of sensitive teeth.
  4. Application and Wearing Time
    You apply the whitening gel inside your trays and wear them for two to four hours daily over two to four weeks. Results are visible in the first two weeks.
  5. Post-Treatment Care
    We provide guidance on avoiding dark coloured foods, using whitening toothpaste and scheduling follow-ups to prolong results and maintain your beautiful smile.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

If you have tried over-the-counter whitening kits & been disappointed, you will have better results with one of our custom whitening trays. Our trays are made from impressions of your teeth, so they fit comfortably & securely. Since they are made to fit your mouth, they can also cover all the spots store-bought whitening kits tend to miss. Over-the-counter products also tend to leak whitening gel & rub against your gums, causing gum irritation or pain.

Am I A Good Candidate For Take-Home Teeth Whitening?

Not everyone can benefit from our take-home teeth whitening. Some stains can’t be fixed with whitening gel. For example, discolouration from a root canal cannot be whitened because it starts inside of the tooth rather than on the outer enamel. Stains on crowns, veneers or bonded teeth will not respond to whitening treatments. New crowns & veneers are an alternative option for teeth that cannot be whitened with peroxide.
