Professional teeth whitening can lighten many common stains and brighten eligible natural teeth. At Sunway Dental, whitening begins with an oral-health assessment so treatment can be planned safely and with realistic expectations.

What causes tooth discolouration?

Colour can change with age and from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and other strongly pigmented foods or drinks. Some internal discolouration, medications, dental trauma, or enamel changes may respond differently and may require another cosmetic option.

Before whitening

The dentist checks for cavities, gum inflammation, exposed roots, cracks, and sensitivity. These concerns may need attention before whitening. Existing fillings, crowns, bridges, and veneers do not whiten like natural teeth, which can affect shade matching and treatment sequence.

Whitening options

Depending on your needs and the services available, treatment may include professionally supervised take-home trays or in-office whitening. We will explain how to use the product, how long treatment may take, and what results are reasonable for your starting shade.

Sensitivity and aftercare

Temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation can occur. Follow the instructions provided and contact the office if symptoms are significant or persistent. Good oral hygiene and limiting tobacco and strongly staining foods or drinks can help maintain the result, although touch-ups may eventually be needed.

Whitening is not suitable for everyone, including some patients with active oral disease. Book an assessment at Sunway Dental in Mississauga by calling (905) 569-7773.
