What to Expect from a Teeth Whitening Treatment
At Crystal Smiles Dental, we offer a range of whitening options to suit your needs, including in-office ZOOM whitening, take-home trays with whitening syringes, and Pola Light take-home whitening.
An in-office ZOOM whitening treatment begins with applying a professional-strength whitening gel to the surface of your teeth. A special LED light is then used to activate the gel for a set amount of time, depending on your current tooth shade and desired results.
It is important to note that not all teeth respond the same way to whitening. Fillings, crowns, and veneers will not whiten like natural teeth, but they can be replaced to match your brighter smile if needed.
What Causes Discolouration?
Stains and discolouration can be categorized into 3 different types: extrinsic, intrinsic, and age-related.
Extrinsic
Extrinsic discolouration encompasses stains that affect only the surface of the tooth or the tooth enamel. This typically comes from:
- Food such as red sauces or chocolate
- Beverages such as coffee, red wine, and tea
- Tobacco in the form of cigarettes or chewing tobacco
Intrinsic
Intrinsic stains are caused from within the tooth and look more grey in colour. These stains can come from:
- Certain medications
- An injury to the tooth
- Tooth decay
- Excessive amounts of fluoride
- Genetics
Age-Related
Aging can cause your enamel to begin to wear down, allowing staining or yellowing to occur. Age-related discolouration can also come from a combination of extrinsic and intrinsic factors.
Maintaining Your Results
After a teeth-whitening treatment, your teeth are still prone to becoming stained or discoloured. By practicing good oral hygiene, you can help maintain your results.

Free Invisalign Consultations: Supporting Healthy, Beautiful Smiles
We want you to love your smile! Invisalign can straighten your teeth, bringing your smile into alignment in a way that promotes both the symmetry and health of your teeth.
If your bite is misaligned, it can be tricky—or even impossible—to completely clean between your teeth. And if your teeth aren’t in the right position, they can actually damage each other over the years. That means even if your teeth are alright today, they may be at risk down the road.
Curious what your smile could look like after Invisalign? Book a free, personalized Invisalign consultation with Dr. Lindsay Raoufi today.
