Teeth Whitening in London, Ontario

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.

What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?

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.

What Causes Teeth to Stain?

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.

In-Office Whitening vs. Take-Home Kits

At Luka Dental Care in London, Ontario, we offer two ways to whiten. Both are safe and guided by our team.

In-Office Whitening

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

Take-Home Whitening Trays

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

What to Expect During Your Whitening Appointment

If you choose in-office whitening, the process is quick and comfortable:

01
Consultation

We’ll examine your teeth and gums to make sure whitening is safe for you.

02
Prep & Protection

We apply a protective barrier to your gums and lips.

03
Whitening Gel

A professional-strength gel is placed on your teeth.

04
Activation

A special LED light helps accelerate the whitening process.

05
Multiple Rounds

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.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

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.

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

Is Whitening Safe for Your Teeth?

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.

Bonus Tips for a Whiter Smile Between Visits

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.

I tried whitening strips for months and didn’t see much change. After one in-office session at Luka Dental Care, I couldn’t believe how white my teeth looked. And no sensitivity either!

Teeth Whitening FAQs

How white will my teeth get?

It depends on your teeth, the kind of stains you have and the treatment you choose. We look at your teeth first and tell you what to expect.

Will whitening make my teeth sensitive?

Some people feel mild sensitivity for a day or two. We use desensitizing agents to reduce discomfort and customize your treatment for safety.

Is whitening safe for enamel?

Yes. When used under professional supervision, whitening gels won’t damage your enamel or gums.

Can I whiten crowns or fillings?

Whitening only works on natural tooth enamel. If you have restorations, we’ll discuss your options for keeping everything looking uniform.

How often can I whiten my teeth?

That depends on your habits and the type of whitening used. We’ll give you personalized recommendations, but most people do well with a touch-up every 6 to 12 months.

How soon before an event should I whiten?

If you’re doing in-office whitening, one week is ideal. For take-home trays, start at least two weeks before the event.

What if whitening doesn’t work for me?

Some types of discoloration don’t respond well to whitening. In those cases, we’ll talk about other options like bonding or veneers to get the look you want.
