A Brighter Smile Starts Here
Dreaming of a whiter, more confident smile? At Marinaside Dental in Yaletown, Vancouver, we provide safe and effective professional teeth whitening options designed around your enamel sensitivity, lifestyle, and goals.
Whether you’re getting ready for a big event or simply want a refresh, our team will help you achieve a brighter smile—safely and predictably.
Professional Whitening vs. Store-Bought Kits
While over-the-counter whitening products can help with surface stains, professional whitening delivers stronger and longer-lasting results.
At Marinaside Dental, our treatments include:
- Clinically tested whitening gels for faster, even color change.
- Custom-fitted trays that protect gums and keep gel exactly where it’s needed.
- Professional supervision to reduce tooth sensitivity and protect enamel.
- Personalized whitening plans based on your stain type (coffee, tea, red wine, smoking) and dental history.
In-Office Whitening — Fast Results
Perfect for patients who want quick, noticeable results in a single visit.
Your dentist applies a high-concentration whitening gel and may use a specialized light to enhance its effect. Most patients see multiple shades of improvement in under an hour.
This is an excellent choice before weddings, photos, or interviews.
Note: Whitening does not change the color of crowns, veneers, or bonding. If you have existing restorations, we’ll plan the shade sequence carefully to ensure an even result.
Take-Home Whitening — Flexible and Controlled
Prefer whitening at your own pace? Our take-home system includes custom trays and professional-strength gel.
You’ll wear the trays daily for 1–2 weeks, depending on your goals and sensitivity level.
This option offers gentle, gradual results and easy future touch-ups.
Sensitivity Management and Candidacy
Whitening is very safe when done under professional supervision. To minimize sensitivity and protect your enamel, we may suggest:
- Using desensitizing toothpaste before and during treatment.
- Adjusting wear time or gel strength for sensitive teeth.
- Treating any cavities or gum inflammation before whitening.
You’re an ideal candidate if your teeth and gums are healthy and your discoloration is mostly extrinsic (from foods or drinks).
If stains are intrinsic (inside the tooth), other cosmetic options like internal bleaching, bonding, or veneers may be more effective.
Maintain Your Results
After whitening, protect your new shade with simple habits:
- Follow a “white diet” for 24–48 hours (avoid coffee, red wine, dark sauces, and berries).
- Rinse with water after meals or staining beverages.
- Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and floss daily.
- Schedule regular dental cleanings and occasional touch-ups using your custom trays.
With good care, your brighter smile can last many months or even years.
