Why Teeth Become Stained
Teeth discolouration can be caused by various factors, including:
- Food and Drink: Coffee, tea, red wine, and certain fruits and vegetables can stain teeth.
- Tobacco Use: Nicotine and tar in tobacco can cause significant yellowing.
- Age: Over time, the outer enamel layer gets thinner, revealing the naturally yellow dentin.
- Medications: Certain medications are known to affect tooth colour as a side effect.
Why Choose Professional Whitening?
While over-the-counter options might seem convenient, professional teeth whitening offers several advantages:
- Effective and Fast Results: Professional treatments can lighten your teeth several shades in a single visit.
- Safety: Treatments are supervised by dental professionals, minimizing the risk of gum irritation or damage to your enamel.
- Customization: We tailor the treatment to your specific needs, ensuring the best possible results while considering your dental health.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does professional teeth whitening work?
Professional teeth whitening at Bee Family Dental uses high-concentration bleaching agents that are applied to the surface of your teeth. These agents break down stains and discolouration, resulting in a brighter, whiter smile. In-office treatments may also use a special light to accelerate the whitening process, providing immediate results.
Is professional teeth whitening safe?
Yes, when performed under the supervision of our experienced dental professionals, teeth whitening is a safe procedure. We ensure that your gums and mouth are protected throughout the treatment to minimize any sensitivity or irritation.
How long do the results of professional teeth whitening last?
The longevity of teeth whitening results can vary based on dietary habits, oral hygiene, and tobacco use. Typically, results can last from six months to two years. To maintain your brighter smile, we recommend avoiding staining foods and drinks, and considering touch-up treatments as needed.
Will teeth whitening work on all types of teeth stains?
Professional teeth whitening is most effective on extrinsic stains (those on the surface of the teeth) caused by foods, drinks, and smoking. Intrinsic stains (within the tooth structure) may not respond as well to whitening. We'll assess the type of staining you have during your consultation to ensure teeth whitening is the right option for you.
Can teeth whitening damage my enamel?
No, professional teeth whitening does not damage the enamel. The whitening agents used in professional treatments are designed to be safe for your teeth while effectively removing stains.
What's the difference between in-office and take-home teeth whitening?
In-office teeth whitening provides immediate results, usually in about an hour, using professional-grade bleaching agents and, in some cases, a special light to enhance the process. Take-home kits, on the other hand, offer the convenience of whitening your teeth over a couple of weeks with custom-fitted trays and a professional-grade bleaching gel, allowing for gradual results.
Will my dental insurance cover teeth whitening?
Most dental insurance plans do not cover cosmetic procedures, including teeth whitening. However, Bee Family Dental offers various payment and financing options to make teeth whitening accessible to everyone.
Are there any side effects to teeth whitening?
Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or mild gum irritation following their whitening treatment. These side effects are usually short-lived and subside on their own. We take measures to minimize any discomfort during and after the procedure.
How can I maintain my whiter smile after treatment?
To maintain your brighter smile, we recommend avoiding staining foods and drinks, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups are also crucial for keeping your smile shining. We can provide tips and products to help keep your teeth white for as long as possible.
How do I know if I'm a good candidate for teeth whitening?
The best way to determine if you're a candidate for teeth whitening is through a consultation at Bee Family Dental. We'll assess your oral health, the nature of your tooth discolouration, and discuss your cosmetic goals to ensure teeth whitening is suitable for you.
