Professional Teeth Whitening is one of the quickest, safest, and most effective cosmetic dental procedures available to remove years of stains and discoloration from your teeth. Unlike less effective over-the-counter products, the professional-grade systems used at Prime Smile Dental offer superior results, delivering a dramatically whiter smile in a controlled environment. Whether you choose our in-office treatment for instant results or our custom take-home kits, we can safely and effectively brighten your smile by several shades.
Teeth whitening involves the use of peroxide-based bleaching agents (such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide) that penetrate the enamel to break down pigmented molecules causing stains. Our professional systems ensure optimal results while minimizing sensitivity:
This is the fastest method, delivering noticeable results in a single one-hour appointment. A high-concentration whitening gel is applied to the teeth, and often activated by a specialized light or laser to accelerate the bleaching process. Gums and soft tissues are carefully protected.
We create personalized, perfectly fitting whitening trays based on impressions of your teeth. You receive professional-strength gel to apply at home, typically wearing the trays for 30 minutes to a few hours daily over 10–14 days. This method offers excellent, long-lasting results that you control.
The dentist determines the ideal concentration and application method based on your level of staining and sensitivity.
Professional systems use higher-concentration gels than retail products, achieving results that are multiple shades brighter, often in just one visit.
Treatment is administered or overseen by the dentist, ensuring soft tissues are protected and sensitivity is managed effectively.
A whiter smile instantly enhances your overall appearance, often making you look younger and increasing self-confidence in social and professional settings.
Effectively removes stubborn stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and natural aging that brushing alone cannot resolve.
The in-office procedure is efficient and controlled for maximum safety:
Step 1Consultation and Shade Assessment
The dentist examines your teeth to ensure you are a good candidate (no untreated decay or gum disease) and records your starting shade.
Step 2Gum Protection
A protective barrier is carefully applied to the gums and lips to shield them from the high-concentration whitening gel.
Step 3Gel Application and Activation
The professional-strength hydrogen peroxide gel is applied to the teeth. A specialized light may be used to enhance the gel's effectiveness over several 15–20 minute cycles.
Step 4Rinsing and Final Assessment
The gel and protective barrier are removed. The dentist assesses the final results and compares the finished shade to the starting shade, often achieving stunning results immediately.
Step 5Post-Treatment Care
Instructions are provided for minimizing color regression and managing temporary sensitivity.
Whitening is highly effective for most people but requires certain considerations:
Individuals with yellow or brown surface and subsurface staining caused by aging, food, or drink.
Patients with no active decay, untreated cavities, or gum disease (these must be treated first).
Candidates should understand that whitening works only on natural teeth; existing fillings, crowns, and veneers will not change color and may need replacement to match the new bright shade.
Suitable for all ages, though supervision is required for teens using take-home kits.
The cost of teeth whitening in Aurora can vary based on the type of whitening you choose and the results you want to achieve. Factors that affect pricing include whether you select in-office teeth whitening or take-home whitening trays, the level of staining (from coffee, tea, wine, or smoking), the number of sessions needed, and whether a cleaning or exam is recommended beforehand for best results.

No. When used as directed and under professional supervision, the whitening agent is safe and does not harm the structure of your natural tooth enamel.
The results typically last between one and three years, depending on your diet (consumption of coffee, tea, red wine) and whether you use periodic take-home touch-ups.
No. Whitening agents only work on natural tooth structure. If you have existing restorations in the front of your mouth, they may need to be replaced after whitening to match your new, brighter smile.
Yes. Some patients experience temporary sensitivity to cold after in-office whitening. This is normal and usually subsides within 24–48 hours. We offer special toothpaste and gels to minimize this effect.
