Not blessed with the best enamel, I suppose, I have had the opportunity to experience almost everything they offer from cleanings to crowns and regular checkups to root canals. And i can say they the dentists and hygienists are always top notch and they use state of the art equipment which they are always upgrading. They are also very friendly and professional. Highly recommend them.

Prior to moving to Muskoka, I had one dentist my whole life. I was worried my new dentist wouldn't be as good. However, I lucked out when I found Cottage Country Dental. They are incredibly professional and make you feel comfortable throughout your appointment. The staff are lovely, too, and it feels like I'm catching up with old friends every time I arrive for an check up.

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

Everyone’s lifestyle, age, diet, medications, and other factors affect the health and appearance of their teeth and gums. A whitening product that works for one person might not work for you, and some store-bought options can even cause damage to your gums.

    When considering professional teeth whitening, here’s why it stands out:
  • Tailored to Your Needs: During your visit to a Dentist in Bracebridge ON, we will take the time to understand what you want from the procedure. Whether you’re concerned about surface stains or deeper discoloration, we’ll assess your teeth and recommend the whitening solution that best suits your needs.
  • Performed by Experts: Whitening is a precise procedure that should be performed by trained professionals. Our dentists are skilled in the techniques and products needed to safely and effectively whiten your teeth, ensuring that your gums and enamel remain protected throughout the process.
  • Dramatic Improvement: The professional whitening treatments we offer use prescription-strength bleaching solutions that are far more powerful than over-the-counter products. This allows for faster and more dramatic results that you can see immediately.
  • Immediate Results: One of the biggest benefits of professional teeth whitening is the immediate transformation. Unlike over-the-counter products that take weeks, professional whitening delivers noticeable results in just one visit, typically in under an hour.
  • Even Whitening: Over-the-counter whitening strips often result in uneven whitening, as they may not cover the entire tooth surface. With professional treatment, the whitening agents are applied precisely, ensuring that every angle and contour of your teeth is whitened evenly.
  • Increased Comfort: We use advanced technologies, including laser-assisted whitening, to help minimize any discomfort or sensitivity. Our whitening process is designed to be as comfortable as possible, with the latest techniques to reduce the risk of gum irritation.

A visit to a Dentist in Bracebridge ON ensures you’ll get the safest, most effective treatment based on your individual needs. Give us a call today to discuss the best whitening option for you!

When Should You Whiten?

If you’re considering whitening your teeth and you have crowns, bridges, veneers, or fillings, it’s important to note that whitening treatments only work on natural tooth enamel. These restorations won’t change color with whitening procedures.

We recommend whitening your teeth before getting crowns or fillings. This allows our dentists to match your new dental work to the brighter shade of your whitened teeth, ensuring a seamless look.

Why Teeth Become Stained or Discolored

There are two types of stains that can affect your teeth:

  • Surface Stains: Surface stains happen when substances like coffee, tea, red wine, colas, tomato sauce, soy sauce, certain fruits, and tobacco products are absorbed into your tooth enamel. Additionally, poor nutrition and inconsistent oral hygiene can also lead to surface stains.
  • Deep Stains: These stains occur inside the tooth beneath the enamel. As we age, the enamel on our teeth wears down, exposing the naturally yellowish dentin beneath it. Illness, injury, and certain medications can also contribute to deeper discoloration.

Top Teeth Whitening Options

Teeth whitening can be a highly effective way to brighten your smile without opting for more invasive procedures like veneers. Both in-office whitening treatments and at-home whitening kits can help lighten your natural tooth color.

Professional Whitening Treatment

For most patients, the most effective way to whiten teeth is with a professional in-office treatment. This treatment involves the application of a whitening solution using custom-designed trays. A laser is then used to activate the whitening agents, allowing oxygen molecules to penetrate the enamel and remove stains. This method offers fast, immediate results and minimizes the risk of sensitivity or gum irritation.

Take-Home Whitening Kit

If you prefer to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your home, we offer customized take-home whitening kits. These kits are tailored to your specific dental structure, ensuring even and complete whitening. Unlike over-the-counter kits, our trays are made from impressions of your actual teeth, making them more effective and reducing the risk of irritation or discomfort. You can achieve gradual whitening over 3 to 4 weeks, and your dentist will be there to guide you through the process.

Contact us today

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.

Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.

Cost of Professional Teeth Whitening in Bracebridge

The cost of professional teeth whitening performed by dental professionals in the office typically ranges from $600 to $1200. For a more affordable option, take-home kits are available, costing approximately $300 to $600 while still providing you with the guidance and expertise of dental professionals.

Why is There a Steep Difference in Cost?
The price difference between in-office whitening treatments, take-home kits, and over-the-counter whitening products can be significant. Here’s a breakdown of the advantages and disadvantages of each option:

    In-office Whitening

    Performed by experienced Dentists in Bracebridge ON, in-office whitening offers several benefits:

  • Highly Accurate: The procedure is carefully done by a professional, significantly reducing the risk of gum irritation or lasting sensitivity.
  • Stronger, More Effective Whitening Agents: Dental professionals use prescription-strength whitening agents, which are much more powerful than over-the-counter options.
  • Fast Results: In-office whitening is the fastest option, often delivering visible results in just one visit.
  • Take-home Kit

    For those who prefer to whiten their teeth on their own schedule, our customized take-home kits are an excellent alternative:

  • Professional Guidance: While you use the whitening agents at home, you still receive expert advice from your dentist to ensure the best results.
  • More Effective Than Drugstore Products: The whitening agents in our kits are more powerful and effective than those found in over-the-counter products.
  • Gradual Whitening: You’ll see noticeable results in just a few weeks, rather than months.
  • Custom-Made Trays: Our trays are designed to fit your teeth perfectly, making them easy to apply and reducing the risk of gum irritation. The trays ensure an even application of the whitening gel for the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plaque forms on your teeth when food and drink particles aren’t properly removed. Over time, plaque hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dentist or hygienist. This yellow coating can accumulate if you don’t brush your teeth properly or frequently enough.

Yes, teeth whitening is generally considered safe. However, some patients may experience temporary sensitivity, especially during or after the first few treatments. The sensitivity usually fades as your teeth adjust. It’s important to follow all instructions carefully to ensure safe and effective results.

Whitening treatments will not affect crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you have these dental restorations, they will not change color, which may cause them to stand out from your newly whitened natural teeth.

Typically, teeth whitening is not covered by dental insurance. However, you can check with your insurance provider to determine if any coverage is available. We can also provide you with an estimate that you can submit for reimbursement.

To maintain your bright smile, avoid staining foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine, and sodas.

Teeth whitening can last anywhere from 6 months to 3 years, depending on the whitening method you choose and how well you take care of your teeth.
