Teeth Whitening Procedure

At Sierra Dental, we offer two effective whitening options. During your initial consultation, one of our cosmetic dentists will take the time to understand your smile goals and expectations. From there, they will recommend the best teeth whitening method.

In-Office Zoom® Whitening

This is performed in the dental office with the help of our trusted dental assistants and cosmetic dentist. This treatment can effectively brighten the smile by several shades in just one hour. This is loved by our patients who are seeking fast, visible results.

Zoom® Take-Home Whitening Kits

Using either NiteWhite or DayWhite treatments, this option allows you to whiten the teeth gradually over two weeks from the comfort of your home. This is great for patients who prefer flexibility, at-home convenience, and for ongoing touch-ups after getting their In-Office Zoom® Whitening completed.

How Does Zoom® Teeth Whitening Work?

Zoom® Teeth Whitening is one of the most popular and trusted whitening systems. It combines speed, comfort, and results, making it a standout solution for patients who want to achieve a dramatically whiter smile.

At Sierra Dental, this is constantly praised by our patients for the beautiful results that it provides. No pain, no discomfort, just noticeable and long-lasting teeth whitening.

Here’s what to expect during the treatment:

  1. Protection First – One of our dental assistants or cosmetic dentists will apply a protective barrier over your lips and gums to prevent irritation and sensitivity.
  2. Application of Whitening Gel – A specialized whitening gel is painted on the surface of your teeth.
  3. Whitening Activation – A focused LED lamp is used to activate the gel. This breaks down deep stains and lifts any discolouration. The cycle is repeated 2 to 3 times of 15 minutes each.

How to Prepare for Teeth Whitening Treatment

When it comes to your teeth whitening appointment, a little preparation can go a long way in making the procedure smooth and effective. Here’s what our cosmetic dentists at Sierra Dental recommends:

Set Aside Enough Time

While the In-Office Zoom® Teeth Whitening procedure usually takes just about an hour, it may take a bit longer if you have badly stained or discoloured teeth. Also, set aside extra time for consultation and preparation. Many of our Calgary patients say that giving themselves enough time helps them feel more relaxed and allows them to enjoy the full experience without feeling rushed.

Have Your Teeth Professionally Cleaned

For best results, it is ideal to have your teeth professionally cleaned about a month before your teeth whitening procedure. This removes plaque or tartar buildup and helps the whitening gel to stick to the tooth surface, ensuring even and effective whitening treatment.

Sensitive Teeth? Take Painkillers

While most patients do not find teeth whitening to be painful, those who are prone to sensitivity may feel some discomfort. Our cosmetic dentist suggests taking an over-the-counter pain reliever before the procedure to enhance comfort.

Benefits of Zoom® Teeth Whitening

Many patients love our Zoom® Teeth Whitening treatment and for all the right reasons. Here are some of the top benefits you can expect from this cosmetic dentistry service at Sierra Dental:

Fast, Visible Results

Zoom® Whitening is the fastest and most noticeable way to freshen your look, with many patients seeing a beautiful difference in just one visit. Studies from the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry found that 99.7% of people believe a beautiful smile is a vital social asset, and many of our Calgary patients agree.

Custom-Fit Whitening Trays

If you opt for our Take-Home Zoom® Whitening Kit, we provide custom-trays that are tailored to your unique smile. Designed to match the contours of your teeth and gums, these custom trays ensure a comfortable treatment, safe application, and even whitening.

Brighter, Healthier Teeth

Zoom® Teeth Whitening is clinically proven to brighten the teeth by up to 8 shades. It can also reduce teeth sensitivity in many cases, thanks to the specialized whitening gel and supervised application by our cosmetic dentist.

Tooth Stains and Discolouration: Causes, Treatment, and Prevention

Even if you brush and floss regularly, tooth discolouration can still occur. Our cosmetic dentists in Calgary often see patients frustrated by yellowing or dull smiles despite good hygiene habits. Understanding what causes stains and how to treat or prevent them can help your smile stay bright and white.

  • Dark-coloured Beverages – Drinks like coffee, tea, red wine, and cola are among the most common culprits of extrinsic or surface stains. These contain staining chemicals that cling to enamel and cause long-term discolouration. Regular teeth cleaning at Sierra Dental can support surface stain removal.
  • Pigmented Foods – If you frequently consume blueberries, pomegranates, or even tomatoes, you may stain your teeth over time. Rinse or brush soon after eating to prevent lingering stains.
    Smoking – Along with other forms of tobacco, smoking is known to cause deep-set stains and can be difficult to remove with regular toothbrushing and professional teeth cleaning alone. Quitting smoking can help improve and maintain better oral health.

At Sierra Dental, our Zoom® Teeth Whitening is one of the most effective ways to treat tooth stains and discolouration, whether this is caused by coffee, smoking, wine, or natural aging.

Teeth Whitening Aftercare

After getting your whitening session done at our Calgary clinic, maintaining your results is key to enjoying a lasting, radiant smile. With just a few mindful habits, you can extend the brightness of your teeth and protect your investment in your smile.

  1. Avoid strongly-coloured foods – Foods that are rich in colour will stain your teeth. A helpful tip from our dental team: if you think it will stain your white shirt, it will likely also stain your teeth.
  2. Rinse regularly – Get into the habit of rinsing your mouth and teeth after eating and drinking, especially if coffee, wine, or tea. It will only take a few seconds and can greatly help maintain your whitening results.
  3. Brush and floss daily – Brush twice a day and floss after to remove plaque and surface stains. Our dentists also recommend a whitening toothpaste to preserve your bright smile.
  4. Whitening trays – Talk to your dentist about Take-Home Zoom Whitening trays to refresh your smile from the comfort of your home. These include personalized trays that fit your mouth and are used with a small amount of whitening gel.
  5. Quit smoking – Patients who quit smoking after whitening treatment not only enjoy better oral health but also keep their teeth whiter for much longer.

Our team is always available to provide personalized guidance and touch-up solutions whenever you need them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Teeth whitening procedures haven’t been proven to create risks for you or your baby during pregnancy, but there is also no evidence that they are entirely safe. For this reason, our Calgary dentists recommend getting a clearance from your physician before getting any whitening treatment done.

The results from Zoom® Teeth Whitening can last between 12 to 24 months. But, this will still depend on your habits and oral hygiene. Frequent consumption of staining food or drinks can cause discolouration to return quickly, compromising the longevity of your results. To prolong the whitening effect, our cosmetic dentist recommends proper hygiene care, rinsing after consuming stain-rich food or drinks, and using a whitening toothpaste for maintenance. Top-up whitening trays are also available in our clinic to maintain the results.

Teeth whitening systems, like Zoom, are safer and more effective when used under the care of a dental professional. Getting your whitening treatment done at our dental office ensures that the proper safety steps are taken to keep the teeth and gums in good health. It prevents overuse or improper application of the gel, which can damage the enamel or gums.

If you are using At-Home Whitening Kits, make sure to follow the instructions for maximum results without any side effects.

Whitening toothpastes remove surface stains using mild abrasives or a low concentration of peroxide, which is a whitening agent. For best results, use the whitening toothpaste twice a day and follow the label directions. You can expect results in two to six weeks.

However, keep in mind that this won’t change the natural colour of the teeth or treat deeper discolourations. Our dentists often recommend getting professional teeth whitening done first, then using the whitening toothpaste to maintain the results.

Whitening strips can brighten the smile, but the results are often uneven, less visible, and temporary. They are also prone to causing teeth sensitivity and enamel damage if used incorrectly. You can discover safer and longer-lasting results with professional Zoom® Teeth Whitening.

Whitening pens are convenient for quick, targeted touch-ups. But, because they do not contain much hydrogen peroxide or whitening agents, they can be ineffective and the results are often short-lived. For visibly whiter teeth, you may explore professional whitening solutions with our Calgary cosmetic dentist.

Our Calgary dentist recommends scheduling your Zoom® Teeth Whitening treatment 2 – 4 weeks before your wedding day. This allows time to get a cleaning done before the whitening procedure and ensures that any temporary sensitivity fades before the big day. If needed, we can recommend Take-Home kits for touch-ups.

You can come in for a consultation a few months before the wedding. This gives our cosmetic dentist enough time to assess your needs, understand your smile goals, and design a suitable treatment plan
