Teeth Whitening

Reveal Your Brightest Smile
Are you dreaming of a brighter, more confident smile? Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular and effective cosmetic dental treatments available to remove stains and lighten the shade of your teeth. At Ethos Dental Studio in British Columbia, we offer advanced teeth whitening options designed to deliver safe, dramatic, and long-lasting results, helping you achieve the radiant smile you've always wanted.
How Professional Teeth Whitening Works
Professional teeth whitening treatments utilize safe and effective whitening agents, typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, to break down stains on the enamel and dentin of your teeth. These agents penetrate the porous tooth structure and release oxygen molecules, which react with the discolored molecules, breaking them apart and making them less visible. The result is a significantly brighter and whiter smile.
At Ethos Dental Studio, we offer:
- In-Office Whitening: This is a fast and effective option, where a high-concentration whitening gel is applied to your teeth by a dental professional, often accelerated with a special light. You can achieve several shades lighter in just one visit.
- Custom Take-Home Whitening Kits: We create custom-fitted trays that perfectly conform to your teeth. You'll receive a professional-strength whitening gel and instructions to use the kit conveniently at home, achieving gradual, impressive results over a few days or weeks.
✦ Benefits Of Treatment
Dramatically Whiter Smile: Professional teeth whitening can significantly lighten the shade of your teeth, often by several shades, removing years of stains and discoloration for a noticeably brighter look.
Boosts Confidence and Self-Esteem: A whiter, more radiant smile can profoundly impact your confidence, making you feel more comfortable and eager to show off your smile in social and professional settings.
Safe and Effective: When performed or supervised by dental professionals, teeth whitening is a safe procedure with minimal risks, ensuring your gum and tooth health are protected throughout the process.
Fast and Convenient Options: Whether you choose a quick in-office treatment for immediate results or a flexible take-home kit for gradual brightening, we offer options that fit your lifestyle.
Removes Stubborn Stains: Professional-grade whitening agents are effective at lifting deep, intrinsic stains caused by coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and the natural aging process that over-the-counter products can't address.
Youthful Appearance: A brighter smile is often associated with youth and vitality, contributing to an overall more refreshed and younger-looking appearance.
Understanding The Cost Of Teeth Whitening
The cost of teeth whitening is an investment in your smile and confidence. At Ethos Dental Studio, we believe in transparent pricing.
For In-Office Teeth Whitening, the cost typically ranges from $300 - $600 per session. For Custom Take-Home Whitening Kits, the cost typically ranges from $200 - $400.
The exact fee can depend on the specific type of treatment, the severity of staining, and the desired level of whitening.
Factors Influencing the Cost:
- Type of Whitening: In-office treatments are generally a higher upfront cost but provide faster results.
- Number of Sessions: While often one in-office session is sufficient, severe staining may require additional treatments.
- Maintenance: Occasionally, touch-up kits may be recommended to maintain your bright results over time.
Regarding insurance coverage for aesthetic treatments like teeth whitening, this is generally not covered by dental insurance as it's considered cosmetic. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your specific benefits. Our team is here to assist you with any inquiries.
During your consultation, we will assess your oral health, discuss your whitening goals, and provide a personalized treatment plan with a clear estimate of the costs involved, ensuring you have all the information you need.

How long do teeth whitening results last?
The longevity of your whitening results varies depending on your diet and oral hygiene habits, but typically lasts from 6 months to 2 years. Avoiding stain-causing foods and drinks and maintaining good oral hygiene can help prolong the effects.
Is teeth whitening safe for my teeth and gums?
Yes, when performed or supervised by a dental professional, teeth whitening is very safe. Some temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation may occur, but these side effects are usually mild and subside quickly.
Will teeth whitening work on all types of stains?
Professional teeth whitening is most effective on yellow and brown stains. It may be less effective on gray or dark stains, or stains caused by certain medications or dental work (like crowns or fillings), as these materials do not whiten.
How often can I whiten my teeth?
Your dentist will advise on the appropriate frequency based on your individual needs and the type of whitening used. Over-whitening can cause sensitivity, so it's important to follow professional guidance.
