— THE PROCEDURE
How professional whitening works at our Barrie clinic
Professional teeth whitening in Barrie is far more effective than anything you can buy off a shelf and far safer too. The reason is simple: we use a higher-grade peroxide gel, applied directly to your enamel under controlled conditions, with your gums fully protected throughout.
The whole session takes about 2 hours. After a quick exam to confirm your teeth and gums are healthy, we polish your teeth to remove plaque and surface stain (which allows for better absorption of the whitening gel), take clinical photographs, cover and protect the soft tissue, and isolate the teeth. Once isolation is achieved, we apply a protective barrier to your gums, then layer the whitening gel onto your teeth. A specialised light activates the gel, breaking up stains deep within the enamel without damaging the tooth structure itself.
For more dramatic transformations than whitening can deliver, porcelain veneers reshape and re-shade in one step. Dental bonding is sometimes the right tool for a single discoloured tooth, and we plan combined cases with digital smile design.
- In-office whitening for fastest, most dramatic results
- Take-home custom tray kits for gradual touch-ups
- Combined treatments for stubborn or deep staining
- Gum protection at every step no chemical burns, no surprises
