As the snow melts away and the days grow longer, spring brings a fresh start—and what better way to embrace the season than with a brighter, whiter smile? Whether you’re preparing for some fun events here in Edmonton this spring or just want to refresh your look, teeth whitening is a great way to boost your confidence and enhance your appearance.
At Big Lake Dental, we offer professional teeth whitening solutions to help you achieve a dazzling smile safely and effectively. Here’s everything you need to know about whitening your teeth!
What Causes Tooth Discolouration?
Teeth can become stained over time due to a variety of factors, including:
✔ Food & Beverages – Coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored foods can stain your enamel.
✔ Smoking & Tobacco Use – Nicotine and tar cause yellowing and deep staining.
✔ Aging – Over time, enamel naturally thins, revealing the yellowish dentin beneath.
✔ Medications & Medical Conditions – Certain antibiotics, chemotherapy, and other treatments can affect tooth color.
Teeth Whitening Options
There are several ways to achieve a whiter smile, ranging from at-home remedies to professional treatments.
1. Professional In-Office Whitening
For the fastest and most dramatic results, professional whitening treatments at Big Lake Dental can lift years of stains in just one visit. Our advanced whitening technology delivers safe, effective results without damaging your enamel.
2. Take-Home Whitening Kits
Prefer to whiten your teeth on your own schedule? We offer custom take-home whitening kits with professional-grade gel, ensuring even results while being gentler than over-the-counter products.
3. Over-the-Counter Whitening Products
Whitening toothpaste, strips, and mouthwashes can help with mild staining, but they often take weeks to show noticeable results and may not be as effective as professional treatments.
How to Maintain Your Whitened Smile
Once you’ve achieved your ideal shade, keep your teeth bright by:
✔ Brushing twice daily and flossing regularly
✔ Rinsing your mouth after consuming stain-causing foods and drinks
✔ Using a straw for beverages like coffee and tea
✔ Scheduling regular dental cleanings and touch-up whitening treatments
