Teeth Whitening in Ottawa
At Ottawa Downtown Dentist, our dentist offers both in-office and take-home teeth whitening options to help our Ottawa patients brighten their smiles.

What is Professional Teeth Whitening?
One safe, effective way to lighten the colour of your teeth and remove stains is to head to your dentist's office for a professional teeth whitening session.
As we age, our teeth become more vulnerable to staining from food and other substances. Our tooth enamel naturally attracts particles, and products such as tea, coffee, tobacco and berries are well-known to stain teeth.
Bleaching agents used during the teeth whitening treatment process are designed to reverse the effects of aging and staining, lightening the colour of your teeth.
How Teeth Whitening Works
Peroxide-based bleaching agents are an essential part of teeth whitening solutions. As the active ingredient breaks down, oxygen acts on the tooth enamel, creating the whitening effect.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
An in-office teeth whitening session takes about two hours at our dental office. First, a barrier is applied to your gums to protect them before your teeth are covered with a thin layer of gel, which chemically activates on each tooth. The process is repeated a few times until we achieve the desired shade of white.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
If you choose to whiten your teeth in the comfort and convenience of your home, you may want to consider at-home whitening options offered at Ottawa Downtown Dentist. Custom whitening trays are created specifically for your smile, and your dentist will provide you with detailed at-home instructions to follow throughout your treatment.
