Hi, I'm Elaine De Vouge, RDH
Owner of Quinte Dental Hygiene Clinic.

Teeth Whitening

Quinte Dental Hygiene Clinic provides teeth whitening services for the Quinte area. QDHC is located at 417 Dundas Street East in Belleville, Ontario

By using a custom-made delivery system made especially for you and by using the lates in teeth-whitening technology, you can have a whiter and brighter teeth.

Teeth whitening is a simple and effective process that lightens discolouration of the enamel and dentin of your teeth.  My system uses a peroxide-based gel retained in a custom fitted appliance that is worn over your teeth for a period of time. It can be used during the day or even while you sleep if you prefer.

Causes of Tooth Discoloration

There are a number of causes of tooth discolouration but the most common include:
  • Aging
  • Staining substances including coffee, tea, colas and tobacco among others
  • Trauma
  • Tetracycline which is a fairly common antibiotic
  • Excessive fluoride
  • Nerve degeneration

Who Can Benefit from Teeth Whitening?

Virtually anyone who has natural teeth can benefit from teeth whitening. However, there are cases where treatment may not prove effective.  The tooth-whitening system is ideal for people who have healthy, unrestored teeth and would like to have a whiter and brighter smile.  

The whitening process is most effective for mildly discoloured teeth. Darker stains, such as those caused by antibiotics will take longer to respond to treatment.  

The degree of whiteness will vary of course from individual to individual depending on a number of factors including the structure of the teeth, the staining involved and how long the teeth whitening system is used.

How Long Does It Take?

Usually results will be seen following the very first night!  The best results usually occur when the process is continued for ten to fourteen nights.

How Long Do the Results Last?

Whitened teeth will always be lighter than they were before the process was used. Some patients may want to do periodic re-whitening for one or two nights every four to six months for optimal results.
