Teeth Whitening Services in Toronto
With time, teeth may turn brown and dull due to the natural aging process mixed with beverages that stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, and wine.
Stains create discoloration in teeth and the bony tissues that support them. The enamel, a highly porous surface covering teeth, is the hardest substance in the human body but is not totally resistant to stains. It’s not just food and beverages that are the culprits; even some medications can darken the colour of teeth.
These stains are hard to remove with brushing; reaching the dentin under the enamel often takes a professional cleaning. Teeth whitening is necessary to help you get rid of such tooth discoloration and restore your smile.
Why Teeth Whitening?
Improved Aesthetics
A whiter smile lets you look younger and more attractive. It is the first thing that people will notice when they meet you. More often than not, a brighter smile suggests good health. When your smile looks healthy, you are more confident showing it off.
Improves self-confidence
These feelings of insecurity about one’s smile may lead one to avoid smiling or laughing with people. This insecurity can make a person feel awkward and anxious in certain social scenarios. Whitening will build your confidence and make you feel more comfortable in those important social or professional situations. Â
If you are unhappy with the colour of your smile, contact Bloor Smile Dental in Bloor West Village to learn how you can improve the look and health of your teeth and gums.
Causes of Discolouration
What causes staining or darkening of teeth? There are several sources of teeth discoloration. The main culprits are as follows:
Coffee
Tea
Cola
Wine
Smoking or other tobacco
Poor oral hygiene
Dark berries
Some medicines

In-Office Whitening Appointments
What to Expect?
At Bloor Smile Dental, In-office whitening is performed after consultation with Dr. Aarati Balakrishnan or Dr. Irma Kacur. Teeth whitening, when done professionally in a dental office, is an effective, pain-free, non-invasive procedure that can whiten your smile by as many as ten shades in just one visit.
The in-office teeth whitening procedure starts with a proper cleaning to remove plaque. We then examine the colour of your teeth and decide on the appropriate whitening compound to best suit your needs.
The dentist will use retractors and gauze to protect your lips, tongue and cheeks from the whitening compound. Barriers are generally also applied to the gums, as the peroxide whitening solution can irritate them. Your teeth will be coated with peroxide, and a UV light is often utilized to boost its effectiveness. Several coats can be placed, and the compound stays on the teeth for 30-60 minutes. After this, it is washed off, and whiter teeth are exposed.
Teeth whitening performed in our office is much more effective than what might be achieved with ingredients likely to be found at your local drug or grocery store.
Teeth whitening treatments performed in our dental office will definitely whiten your teeth, at least by a few shades. The severity of the discoloration will determine how many appointments you will need until they are completely whitened.
At-Home Whitening
At Bloor Smile Dental in Bloor West Village, Toronto, we also offer custom take-home whitening trays. This system is excellent for those patients who prefer gradual whitening in the privacy of their own homes.
We will begin by taking an impression of your teeth to create a whitening tray that fits perfectly in your mouth.
Next, we will supply you with professional strength whitening agents to be applied to your trays, as instructed by Dr. Aarati Balakrishnan or Dr. Irma Kacur.
Most patients use the take-home whiteners for 2-3 weeks. The final result of this type of whitening can be similar to in-office whitening.
However, the process is more time-consuming, and you must be especially careful if sensitivity develops.
What's the Difference?
Store-Bought Whitening vs. Professional Whitening
Some over-the-counter whitening products, such as Crest Whitestrips, are designated safe and are CDA-approved.
However, many products in the market do not have the CDA seal of approval. These products may contain very small or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, dangerously high levels of peroxide whitening agent.
Some “whiteners” are entirely ineffective and dangerous. For example, Charcoal toothpaste, marketed as a “whitener,” is a strong abrasive that, if not used gently, can ruin teeth enamel.
In the final analysis, teeth whitening should always be done under professional supervision for the safest and most consistent outcomes.
How Long Do Whitening Results Last?
Preserving your smile.
With regular good oral hygiene, your whitened teeth may remain white and bright for years. Make sure to follow the instructions that you receive from our dentists about Teeth Whitening – after the procedure.
We highly recommend brushing and flossing your teeth regularly and visiting our office for routine dental hygiene and cleanings.
Rinse your mouth after consuming beverages such as coffee, tea, or wine. If you can, brush your teeth after drinking these beverages. You can also consider occasional whitening touch-ups from Bloor Smile Dental to keep your teeth looking great for years.

The cost of teeth whitening in Toronto can range from $400 to $600, depending on whether you choose in-office treatments or take-home kits. At Bloor Smile Dental, we offer both options to fit your needs and budget. Our professional treatments provide fast, long-lasting results that are more effective than over-the-counter products. For a detailed breakdown of our teeth whitening Toronto price, feel free to contact us for a consultation.
The results of professional teeth whitening can last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on your oral hygiene habits and lifestyle choices. Maintaining good habits, such as brushing, flossing, and avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks, can help prolong the results. Regular touch-ups with at-home kits or follow-up treatments at our Toronto clinic will also keep your smile bright.
Yes, professional teeth whitening is a safe procedure when performed by a qualified dentist. At Bloor Smile Dental, our experienced team ensures that the treatment is tailored to your individual needs, making it safe and effective. However, if you have sensitive teeth, existing dental work, or gum issues, we recommend a thorough consultation before proceeding with any Toronto teeth whitening treatments.
In-office teeth whitening treatments offer immediate, noticeable results in just one session, thanks to the use of high-concentration bleaching agents. In contrast, take-home whitening kits from Bloor Smile Dental allow you to whiten your teeth gradually over a couple of weeks. Both options are safe and effective, but in-office treatments generally produce faster and more dramatic results.
