What is Opalesence™ Whitening
At Southdale Square Dental Centre, we offer both in-clinic and take-home whitening options to suit your needs. Our in-office whitening uses Opalescence™, a trusted professional-grade system that provides safe and effective results by removing deep stains while strengthening enamel and minimizing sensitivity. This treatment is ideal for patients seeking quick, dramatic whitening and is especially effective for addressing issues, such as discoloration from coffee, tea, or smoking. For convenient at-home whitening, we provide Day White®, a take-home system designed to gradually whiten your teeth over 10 to 14 days with custom-fitted trays and a specialized whitening gel.
It is important to remember that whitening treatments only lighten natural tooth enamel and will not change the colour of existing fillings, crowns, or other restorations. If you have dental work, you may wish to have it updated after whitening to match your brighter smile. While whitening can produce impressive results, it is not permanent, and occasional touch-ups may be needed depending on your lifestyle and dietary habits.  Mild tooth sensitivity is common but usually fades after treatment.  You will receive care instructions, and your dentist will recommend regular check-ups to help maintain your bright, healthy smile.
