Sometimes the fastest way to boost your smile—and your confidence—is to brighten it. At Luka Dental Care in London, Ontario, we offer professional teeth whitening treatments that go far beyond what you can get from drugstore kits or whitening toothpaste.
Whether you’re prepping for a big event or simply want to feel more confident every day, our safe, effective whitening options can lift years of stains and help your smile look its brightest.
Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that uses specially formulated bleaching agents to lighten the shade of your teeth. Unlike over-the-counter options, the products we use are stronger, more precise, and tailored to your needs—so you get noticeable results with less risk of irritation or uneven color.
At Luka Dental Care, we offer both in-office whitening for immediate results and take-home kits for more gradual brightening on your schedule.
Tooth discoloration is a natural part of life, and it doesn’t mean your oral hygiene is lacking. Common causes of staining include:
Coffee, tea, and red wine
Smoking or tobacco use
Certain foods like berries, curry, or tomato sauce
Natural aging (enamel thins, showing more yellow dentin)
Medications or previous dental trauma
Our whitening treatments are designed to lift both surface stains and deeper discoloration, revealing a whiter, more youthful-looking smile.
At Luka Dental Care in London, ON, we offer two main options for whitening—both safe, supervised, and more effective than anything over the counter.
This treatment is performed right here in our clinic. We apply a high-strength whitening gel and activate it with a special light to speed up the process. In about an hour, you’ll see dramatic results—often several shades lighter.
Perfect if:
You want fast results for a wedding, graduation, or job interview
You’ve never whitened before and want professional guidance
You want a safe way to treat deeper stains
These custom-made trays fit your teeth perfectly and are used with a prescription-strength gel at home. You’ll wear them for a short period each day, and most patients see results within 1–2 weeks.
Great if:
You prefer to whiten at your own pace
You want more gradual, controlled results
You’re maintaining results after in-office whitening
If you choose in-office whitening, the process is quick and comfortable:
We’ll examine your teeth and gums to make sure whitening is safe for you.
We apply a protective barrier to your gums and lips.
A professional-strength gel is placed on your teeth.
A special LED light helps accelerate the whitening process.
We repeat the process 2–3 times in a single visit for optimal results.
In about an hour, you’ll leave our London, ON clinic with a noticeably brighter smile—and minimal sensitivity thanks to our desensitizing protocols.
For take-home kits, we’ll walk you through how to use your custom trays and gel. You’ll whiten for 30–60 minutes a day, depending on your treatment plan.
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums can benefit from professional whitening. You’re likely a good candidate if:
You have yellow, brown, or stained teeth
You’ve tried over-the-counter options with limited results
You don’t have untreated cavities or gum disease
You’re not pregnant or breastfeeding
You want to refresh your smile without altering your teeth
We’ll always examine your oral health before beginning treatment to make sure whitening is the best option for you. If it’s not, we’ll suggest alternatives like bonding or veneers to help you reach your goals.
At Luka Dental Care, we use professional-grade whitening systems designed for safety, speed, and long-lasting results.

Whitening should be comfortable and predictable—and with the right tools, it is.
Our London dental team will give you personalized tips to help extend your whitening results based on your lifestyle.
With proper care, your teeth whitening results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Everyone’s habits are different, but you can maintain your brighter smile by:
Brushing twice daily and flossing regularly
Avoiding or limiting staining foods and drinks
Rinsing your mouth after coffee, tea, or red wine
Using a straw when drinking dark beverages
Scheduling touch-ups every 6–12 months as needed
Yes—when performed by a dental professional, whitening is safe for your enamel. We carefully monitor your treatment and use high-quality products designed to protect your teeth and gums. The biggest risks with over-the-counter options are overuse, gum irritation, or uneven results. With us, those risks are minimized.
Want to stretch your whitening results even further? Try incorporating these habits:
Eat more crunchy fruits and vegetables like apples and celery, which help clean teeth naturally
Use a whitening toothpaste a few times a week (not daily) for safe maintenance
Schedule regular dental cleanings to remove surface stains before they set in
Consider a night guard if you grind your teeth—grinding can cause enamel wear that affects whitening
Your habits matter. Pairing professional whitening with consistent care at home can keep your smile glowing for the long haul.
