Professional in-office and take-home whitening at our Yonge & Sheppard studio. Safer, longer-lasting, and more predictable than store-bought kits.

We offer two professional approaches. Most patients see noticeably whiter teeth after either route, and many combine the two for maximum effect.
A single 60–90 minute visit at our studio. We apply a professional-strength whitening gel under controlled conditions, with immediate results you can see when you leave.
Custom-fitted trays made from a digital impression of your teeth, with professional-grade gel. You wear the trays for a set amount of time over one to two weeks at home for gradual results.
For patients with significant staining, we sometimes combine an in-office session with follow-up take-home maintenance for the deepest, longest-lasting results.
Store-bought strips and toothpastes can produce some improvement, but professional whitening at a dental office offers meaningful advantages — especially when results matter.
Professional whitening uses higher-strength gel than retail products, applied under dental supervision. This produces faster, more dramatic results without overdoing it.
Take-home trays are made from a 3D scan of your teeth so the gel sits exactly where it should — not on your gums, where it can cause irritation.
Before whitening, we make sure your teeth and gums are healthy. Whitening over cavities, cracked teeth, or untreated gum disease can cause significant discomfort and complications.
We can give you a realistic expectation of how white your teeth will get and how long it will take, based on your starting shade and the cause of staining.
If you have sensitive teeth, we adjust gel strength, exposure time, and use desensitizing products so the process stays comfortable.
Professional results typically last six months to two years — sometimes longer with touch-ups — versus a few weeks for many retail kits.
Understanding what is causing the discolouration helps us recommend the right approach. There are two main types of staining.
Caused by coffee, tea, red wine, dark berries, tobacco, and certain spices. These stains live on the outer enamel and respond very well to professional whitening.
Caused by aging, certain medications (such as tetracycline taken in childhood), excessive fluoride exposure, or trauma to a tooth. These stains are inside the tooth and are harder to lift with whitening alone.
Old fillings, crowns, and veneers do not respond to whitening. If they show in your smile, you may want to whiten your natural teeth first, then replace those restorations to match.
During your consultation, we assess what is causing your staining and recommend the best path forward — sometimes that is whitening, sometimes it is bonding or veneers, and sometimes a combination.
We examine your teeth and gums, identify the cause of staining, document your starting shade, and recommend which approach — in-office, take-home, or combined — will work best for you.
A gentle cleaning before whitening removes surface plaque and helps the gel work more evenly. For take-home, we take a 3D scan and craft custom-fitted trays.
For in-office, we apply protective barriers to the gums, then the professional gel, in controlled sessions over 60–90 minutes. For take-home, you wear your trays for the prescribed time over one to two weeks at home.
We provide detailed aftercare instructions, including foods to avoid for the first 48 hours, and discuss touch-up frequency so your results last.
We tell you what whitening can realistically achieve for your case, including when other options (bonding, veneers) would be a better fit.
Trays are made from a 3D digital scan of your teeth — a comfortable, accurate fit that keeps the gel in the right place.
If you have sensitive teeth, we adjust gel strength and exposure time, and use desensitizing products before and after to keep the process comfortable.
Our clinic is designed to feel calm and welcoming. In-office whitening sessions are a relaxed appointment, not a clinical procedure.
We help you maintain results with simple at-home touch-ups, sensible diet adjustments, and timing recommendations.
Direct subway access and free underground parking, with evening and Saturday hours.
Whitening cost depends on which approach you choose and whether you combine in-office with take-home. We will give you a written quote during your consultation, after we have assessed your starting shade and the cause of your staining.
You receive a written quote before any whitening begins. No surprise charges, no upsell pressure.
Cosmetic whitening is generally not covered by dental insurance, but we will still verify your plan and let you know what to expect.
For patients combining whitening with other cosmetic work, we offer 0% interest financing for up to 24 months on qualifying treatment plans.
Cost depends on which approach you choose — in-office, take-home, or both. We give you a written quote during your consultation after looking at your starting shade and the cause of staining. We are happy to share rough ranges over the phone if helpful.
When performed under dental supervision with appropriate gel concentrations and gum protection, professional whitening is safe and well-studied. The most common side effect is short-term tooth sensitivity, which usually resolves within a day or two.
In-office whitening produces visible results in a single 60–90 minute session. Custom take-home whitening typically shows full results in one to two weeks of consistent use.
Results typically last six months to two years, depending on your diet (coffee, red wine, dark berries accelerate restaining), tobacco use, and oral hygiene. Periodic touch-ups with take-home gel can keep results going much longer.
No — whitening only works on natural tooth enamel. If you have restorations in your smile zone, you may want to whiten your natural teeth first, then have those restorations replaced to match the new shade.
Yes, in most cases. We adjust the gel concentration and exposure time, and use desensitizing products before and after, so even patients with sensitivity usually tolerate it well.
In-office is fastest with immediate results. Take-home is more gradual but very effective and offers easier touch-ups later. Many of our patients combine the two for the best of both. We will recommend the right path during your consultation.
Cosmetic whitening is generally not covered by dental insurance. We will still verify your specific plan and let you know what — if anything — might be partially covered.
Book a whitening consultation at our North York studio. We will assess your starting shade, identify what is causing the staining, and recommend the right approach for the result you are after.
