At Luka Dental Care on Aldersbrook Road in London, Ontario, we offer professional teeth whitening for adults with healthy teeth and gums. We whiten in our office, or with custom trays you use at home. It works on stains from coffee, tea and getting older.
As your cosmetic dentist in London, Ontario, we often start a smile makeover with whitening. It brightens teeth but does not change their shape, so dental bonding or porcelain veneers can fix chips and uneven edges. To plan more than one step, digital smile design shows your result before we begin.
Professional teeth whitening uses a bleaching gel to lighten the shade of your teeth. The gel we use is stronger than store-bought kits, and we fit it to your needs. That means clearer results with less risk of sore gums or uneven colour.
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, Ontario, we offer two ways to whiten. Both are safe and guided by our team.
We do this treatment right here in our office. We put a strong whitening gel on your teeth and use a special light to speed it up. In about an hour, your teeth are 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 to 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 this two or three times in one visit for the best result.
In about an hour, you leave with a brighter smile, and our desensitizing gel helps limit soreness.
For take-home kits, we show you how to use your custom trays. You whiten for 30 to 60 minutes a day, based on your 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.

With the right tools, whitening can be comfortable and predictable.
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
Booking a touch-up every 6 to 12 months if needed
When a dental team does it, whitening is safe for your enamel. We watch your treatment closely and use products that protect your teeth and gums. Store kits can irritate gums or whiten unevenly when overused, and we help you avoid that.
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
Ask about a night guard if you grind your teeth, since grinding wears down enamel
Your habits matter. Pairing professional whitening with consistent care at home can keep your smile glowing for the long haul.
