Whitening in
Barrie
Teeth whitening is by far the most popular cosmetic dental procedure. Dental whitening procedures exist to fit within almost any budget and the results are quick. Most people will benefit from a teeth whitening procedure, with a variety of solutions available on the market today.
However, some dark teeth are more resistant to dental whitening procedures. Teeth that are discolored with dark grey or reddish shades are the most resistant to teeth whitening, such as patients with teeth affected by tetracycline. Even dark teeth such as these will whiten to some degree with long-term dedication. If you have darker grey or reddish teeth, we can explore your teeth whitening options given what is currently available on the market; another option we can discuss is whether to explore porcelain veneers instead.
Technically, there’s a difference between teeth whitening and teeth bleaching. Whitening means to brighten your teeth by removing the stains caused by the tinting in foods and beverages such as berries, coffee, wine and tea. This stain removal option whitens teeth back to their naturally white stage. On the other hand, bleaching refers to lightening teeth from the inside-out; it brightens the inside (dentin) of the tooth, thereby making the whole natural tooth whiter. Another way to look at it is that whitening removes stains via polishing of the surface of the tooth while bleaching sends peroxide into the tooth to whiten the organic material inside.

At Georgian Mall Family Dental, we use peroxide (either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide) as our preferred agent for professional dental whitening procedures. The peroxide enters the teeth and whitens the inside layers (dentin) of the teeth.
We also offer an in-office whitening treatment called Zoom Spa Dent whitening. The revolutionary Zoom Spa Dent whitening gel formulation provides a professional whitening treatment in the least amount of time, with virtually no sensitivity. We prepare your Spa Dent treatment with the precise dose of whitening material required and place it in dual-arch mouth trays that are fitted over your teeth. A unique blue and red LED activates the gel, providing powerful whitening with cellular stimulation. Hydroxyl radicals penetrate the tooth enamel to break down stains into progressively smaller particles. This process will penetrate but not harm or damage the tooth enamel, including caps, crowns and veneers. A Spa Dent treatment will whiten the whole “smile” area of a patient’s teeth.
We employ the facial rule of thirds to guide our full-mouth reconstruction planning process. A face that can be equally divided into thirds demonstrates ideal aesthetic harmony. When a significant amount of tooth loss or damage has occurred, the structure supporting the lower facial third is compromised, disrupting the aesthetic balance.
A full-mouth restoration is often completed over multiple phases and office visits. Our team will work together to restore your lower facial third and re-create greater facial harmony.

While there are many reasons for having stained or discoloured teeth, some of the biggest culprits are the foods and beverages you enjoy regularly. Generally, foods and drinks with a high acid content and dark pigments can leave a lasting impression, making your teeth appear yellow, dark or discoloured. The most widely enjoyed culprits behind stained or discoloured teeth are coffee, red wine and black tea, while sugary drinks and especially dark soda can also cause your teeth to appear yellow. We also recommend you manage your consumption of tomato sauce, balsamic vinegar and soy sauce if you are committed to keeping your teeth sparkling white.
