Quick Answer

Professional teeth whitening offers a safe and effective solution for achieving a brighter smile, prioritizing overall dental health. Bel Canto Dental ensures professional teeth whitening is customized to individual patient needs, including checking for existing dental problems and adjusting for sensitive teeth or restorations.

Teeth whitening is an extremely popular procedure, and a beautiful bright smile automatically conveys the impression of youthfulness. It can be the perfect pick-me-up when you want to spoil yourself. However, it is crucial to ensure you whiten safely which is why it is best to choose a professional teeth whitening treatment. This will provide you with the safest and most effective outcome, protecting your dental health while ensuring you benefit from a beautiful white smile.

Ensuring Teeth Whitening is Comfortable, Safe and Successful

In keeping with our holistic approach to dentistry, here at Bel Canto, we always place your oral health first and will ensure every treatment recommended is appropriate. Before we whiten your teeth, our dentist Dr. Mackie will need to check your dental health because any existing dental problems must be treated before you can safely whiten. If you were to whiten your teeth before addressing these problems, it could feel uncomfortable at best and may worsen these issues. Lots of people have sensitive teeth, and the beauty of a professional tooth whitening treatment is that it will be customized for you and is adjusted to ensure you feel comfortable during your treatment.

Another thing to consider is how well teeth whitening will meet your needs. Your teeth are unique and will whiten slightly differently to everyone else.

One thing we must determine is if you have any existing restorations such as crowns, bridges, white fillings or veneers to ensure you receive an evenly whitened smile. Any restorations will not change colour during your treatment. Having the professional insight of your dental team is another reason why getting your teeth whitened professionally is so much better than trying to do it yourself. Once we are happy that teeth whitening is right for you, we can discuss how you would prefer to whiten.
