Is this right for me?

What whitening can — and can't — do

Whitening lightens the natural enamel of your own teeth, which can dull from coffee, tea, and everyday wear. It's important to know its limit: whitening does not change the colour of dentures, crowns, or fillings. For a stained or discoloured denture, the right path is cleaning it or, when needed, replacing it — not whitening.

Natural teeth only

Whitening brightens your own enamel — it doesn't affect dentures, crowns, or fillings, and we'll tell you up front.

Assessed first

We check that your teeth and gums are healthy and suitable before any whitening is recommended.

Whitening questions

Does whitening work on dentures?

No. Whitening changes the colour of natural tooth enamel only and cannot lighten dentures, crowns, or fillings. If your denture looks stained or discoloured, the right path is usually a professional cleaning or, when needed, replacing the denture rather than whitening it.

How long do results last?

Results vary from person to person and gradually fade as everyday foods and drinks stain the teeth again. Good home care and limiting staining drinks help results last longer, and occasional top-ups can help maintain the shade.

Is whitening safe?

When done after a proper assessment, professional whitening is generally well tolerated. Some people notice temporary sensitivity. We check that your teeth and gums are suitable first and talk through what to expect.

Is whitening covered by insurance or CDCP?

Cosmetic whitening is generally not covered by insurance or the Canadian Dental Care Plan. We explain any estimated cost up front so you can decide with no surprises.
