Over time, teeth naturally discolor due to diet, aging, and lifestyle habits. Professional teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to restore your smile’s brightness. Unlike over-the-counter products, our treatments are customized for optimal results, offering both in-office and take-home options.

A professional whitening session can brighten teeth by several shades in just a few visits to Dental Lenses in Waterloo. Before any whitening treatment, we conduct an exam to ensure the procedure is safe and effective for your specific dental needs.

The Process

Firstly, imprints will be taken of your teeth to create bespoke transparent plastic trays. Next, you will test the trays for optimal fit, and changes will be made as needed, sometimes these steps are done over 2 appointments. The trays are used with a specialized whitening solution either bi-daily for 30 minutes or overnight for many weeks, contingent upon the extent of discoloration and the desired degree of whitening. Experiencing tooth sensitivity when whitening your teeth is common, but it will diminish soon after you cease the bleaching process.
