Common Teeth Whitening Questions:
What Does Teeth Whitening Do?
Natural teeth get stained from foods, drinks such as coffee and wine, smoking, or even from poor oral hygiene and other factors such as age, which causes them to become yellow and dull in appearance. Tooth enamel becomes worn down over the years and teeth can become more transparent. Teeth whitening helps to restore your teeth's natural surface colour by removing dirt and debris.
How Long Do The Whitening Results Last For?
Please note that teeth whitening works, however it is not a permanent solution. Teeth whitening requires maintenance from time to time for results that last longer.
What Are The Risks To Teeth Whitening? Are There Any?
For the most part, whitening treatments quite common and are considered to be safe and effective. For the safest results it is always best to consult with your dentist before making use of any whitening solutions. With whitening you can expect to experience some sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures. This sensitivity is only temporary.

Porcelain Crowns
Porcelain crowns can be thought of as custom made caps that help to preserve and protect your existing damaged tooth in order to preserve its functionality. The crown sits over your existing tooth to cover the entire outer surface. A molded impression of your teeth is made, and then the restoration is created in the dental laboratory.
Porcelain crowns withstand heavy biting pressures, and are a very strong and durable treatment option. A high-quality dental crown can last you 10 to 15 years, but this depends on how well you take care of your teeth. Dental crowns require as much care as your other natural teeth. You may require crowns if:
- Your tooth has undergone much decay
- If a large portion of your tooth has fractured
- If you had a root canal treatment
- If you have a large cavity
- If you have had a dental implant to replace a missing tooth
- If you suffer from acid erosion due to a poor diet to teeth grinding
- For cosmetic reasons such as to improve the aesthetics of your smile
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are custom made tooth-like shells that are placed over the surface of your teeth. They help improve your teeth's appearance by giving your smile a bright, beautiful natural look and feel. Along with the associated cosmetic benefits, veneers also protect the surface of damaged teeth and oftentimes eliminate invasive tooth preparations.
Dental veneers help cover tooth imperfections such as:
- Enamel that is worn, dull, and discoloured
- Natural wear and tear such as cracks and chips
- Uneven teeth from tooth grinding
- & more
Your veneers must be taken well care of for long lasting results. The tooth-like shells are thin, yet strong and durable. At Dundas Valley Dentistry we not only provide you with veneers that are a perfect fit for your teeth, but we also take the time to educate you on how to take care of your veneers and natural teeth.

Tooth Coloured Fillings and Bondings
Fillings and bondings help with cosmetic purposes to enhance the oral appearance of your mouth, and they also provide restorative benefits to treat decayed teeth. Bonding occurs when dental materials are attached to your teeth using dental adhesives and light. It is also used to fill cavities, repairs tooth chips and cracks, as well as to close gaps that may be located between your teeth.
At Dundas Valley Dentistry we provide you with fillings and bondings that match the colour of your teeth. This restoration helps create a healthy looking smile by blending in with your surrounding teeth in both colour and shape. We pay special attention to the colour of your natural teeth, and measure your shade, and then we create the fillings and bondings that will be the perfect match.
If you have cracks and chips in your teeth, please consult with Dundas Valley Dentistry. We take the time to provide you with individualized attention and care in order to ensure the best results.
