Teeth Whitening

In-Chair Whitening & Take Home Whitening
At Prestige Dental, we offer a few different options of teeth whitening. The first option is In-Char Whitening, where the whitening solutions are applied by our hygienist. This option achieves the quickest results, but you may require more than one session for satisfactory results.
For take home options, you can either have a custom-made whitening trays where you can purchase additional whitening solutions for repeated applications in the future, or purchase a set of single-use trays pre-filled with solutions.
Note that not all stains can be removed by teeth whitening and fillings and ceramics cannot be whitened this way. You can discuss with our lovely hygienist for a suitable option.
Non-Vital Bleaching (Root Canal Treated Teeth)
Root canal treated teeth can sometimes discolour to dark or yellow colour. Since this discolouration originate from the inside of the tooth, the whitening should be applied from the inside.
Bleaching root canal treated teeth (called Non-Vital Bleaching) involves opening up the root canal access to place a whitening agent, and temporarily sealing it until a satisfactory result is achieved. It may require a few re-dressing for optimal result.
