Teeth Whitening Dental Services in Brampton
Is professional teeth whitening the right choice for you?
Visit our dental clinic and find out how our expert teeth whitening services can whiten, brighten, and renew your smile
Our smiles can be the most eye-catching when our teeth look beautifully white. Unfortunately, this youthful appearance can change due to stains from soft drinks, coffee, tea, and tobacco.
Naturally, the colour of teeth range from light grey to yellow. It is normal for teeth to discolour with age which can be due to stains and dental plaque. An excellent oral hygiene routine can prevent and remove these surface stains. Teeth can even appear lighter or darker depending on your skin tone and makeup.
To help you restore your gleaming, bright white smile and to give you an added boost of confidence, we offer many whitening options, such as custom whitening kits. We offer surface whiteners and bleaches.
Although Health Canada sees tooth whitening as a COSMETIC PROCEDURE, being self-conscious of tooth colour can be a very real anxiety! Please contact us today to find out more about these options and which one is best for you.
Why do your teeth get darker and yellower?
- Age
- It is a natural process for the outside white enamel to wear away and the inside yellow dentin to get denser and shine through the enamel
- Foods/Drinks
- Coffee-lovers, tea and red wine drinkers are the culprits. The stain comes from Chromagens (staining molecules) that bind to the enamel
- Smoking/Chewing tobacco & other substances
- The smoke from cigarettes and other smokeables, as well as chewing tobacco contains substances that stain: Tar and Nicotine. Tar can lead to black deposits on the teeth, Nicotine can turn the enamel yellow
- Trauma
- If you hurt your tooth, the tooth may darken because the dentin naturally thickens in response to injury
- The tooth may “bruise” meaning that blood-borne products remain in the tooth and can take a long time to heal
- Medications
- Taken during pregnancy and tooth development as a child/young adult. If a child is exposed to certain medications like tetracycline during this time span, their baby teeth and/or adult teeth may be affected.
- Common medications that can darken are: acne medication, tetracycline, chemotherapy, antipsychotics
- Taken during pregnancy and tooth development as a child/young adult. If a child is exposed to certain medications like tetracycline during this time span, their baby teeth and/or adult teeth may be affected.
Does Whitening work on all teeth?
No. Whitening can only work on your natural tooth structure but some types of tooth discolourations will not work with conventional whiteners which is why it is important to talk to your dentist at Lakeridge Dental. Surface whitening agents use unique abrasives toi help with removing surface stains. However, this treatment is not an alternative to a professional dental cleaning and hygiene appointment.
Teeth that bleach well are: yellow, plaque-free, calculus-free teeth.
Teeth that do not bleach well are: unclean teeth, brown teeth, grey teeth, crowns, veneers, restorations, darkening due to some medications or trauma.
For these special cases, talk to our team at Lakeridge dental to determine which type of whitening is the best choice for you. You can also check out these signs to see if you need teeth whitening.
Whitening options
- Whitening toothpaste
- All toothpastes help to whiten the teeth with special dental abrasives that remove the surface stains.
- In-office bleaching
- One or more dental visits. A protective isolator is placed on top of your gums to protect them and a whitening gel is applied
- At-home bleaching
- Molds are taken and custom whitening trays are made. At home, you will apply the peroxide-based gel and wear the trays at the prescribed interval by your dentist.
Dentist Pro Tip
One of the most common side-effects of bleaching is short-term sensitivity. Prevent this and decrease the incidence by using a desensitizing toothpaste for 2 weeks before, during and weeks after bleaching

At Lakeridge Dental, we believe your smile should reflect the vibrant, confident person you are. If stains or discolouration have left your teeth looking dull or uneven in colour, our professional teeth whitening treatments can help restore your smile’s natural brilliance.
Our teeth whitening services are tailored to suit your lifestyle, your oral health, and your aesthetic goals. Whether you’re preparing for a special event or simply want to feel more confident in your everyday life, we offer effective whitening options that are both safe and proven to deliver beautiful results.
Personalized Whitening That Works with Your Smile
To ensure the best possible outcome, our team carefully assesses the cause of your tooth discolouration before recommending a whitening treatment. Not all stains are the same—and neither are all whitening products. We consider factors such as enamel thickness, oral hygiene history, and any existing restorations to determine the most effective method for you.
For example, teeth that have yellowed due to dietary habits tend to respond very well to whitening agents. On the other hand, grey or brown discolouration caused by medications or trauma may require a different approach, such as restorative or cosmetic dentistry.
No matter the situation, our experienced dental professionals are here to guide you toward the best solution for your smile.
How Our Brampton Teeth Whitening Treatments Work
Whitening your teeth is a non-invasive way to improve the overall appearance of your smile. At Lakeridge Dental, we offer both in-office and at-home options. Our in-office procedure uses high-grade whitening agents that are carefully applied under professional supervision for immediate and noticeable results. The process is quick, comfortable, and ideal for those looking for fast results with minimal sensitivity.
Prefer to whiten on your own schedule? Our custom take-home trays are designed to fit your mouth perfectly, ensuring even application of the whitening gel. You’ll receive clear instructions on how to use the trays, how long to wear them, and how to protect your teeth from potential sensitivity.
Why Choose Professional Whitening Over Store-Bought Products?
While over-the-counter whitening strips and kits are widely available, they often lack the strength, safety, and customization of professional dental treatments. These generic products may provide uneven results or lead to gum irritation if misused. At Lakeridge Dental, we use clinically tested formulas and ensure that your gums and enamel are protected throughout the process.
With professional supervision, you’re more likely to see lasting improvements and avoid unwanted side effects like enamel damage or gum sensitivity. It’s not just about whitening your teeth,it’s about doing it safely and effectively.
When Is the Right Time to Whiten?
The best time to whiten your teeth is when your mouth is healthy and free from plaque or tartar buildup. That’s why we typically recommend a dental cleaning before beginning any whitening procedure. Clean teeth respond more effectively to whitening agents, and this ensures an even, long-lasting result.
We also suggest whitening after completing certain dental procedures, such as orthodontic treatment or restorations on front-facing teeth, so the final outcome is as natural and balanced as possible.
If you’re uncertain whether now is the right time to whiten your teeth, our dental team in Brampton is happy to walk you through your options during your consultation.
