Teeth Whitening Coquitlam

All kinds of factors can cause teeth to yellow or stain, from the beverage you drink to the food you eat to your genetics. Different treatments are available in the Coquitlam City Dentist’s office and at home, and your dentist can help direct you based on your individual needs. Types of treatments usually involve surface whitening or more in-depth bleaching.

How Does it Work?

Your dentist will help you determine what works best for you. For example, if you are more interested in take-home kits, your dentist can provide you with both surface whitening and bleaching products in the form of toothpaste, pens, and mouth trays. In the office, your dentist can do whitening for you with mouth trays and lasers for a faster process.

Why Not Over-the-Counter?

There’s nothing wrong with over-the-counter teeth whitening products, and if they suit you, they can be useful. The main difference between these products and those obtained in a dentist’s office is the amount of peroxide. Over-the-counter products usually have lower levels of peroxide and may not be as effective as professional products.
