Teeth Whitening: Radiate Confidence with a Brighter Smile
Brighten And Refresh
At Ethos Dental Studio, we provide professional teeth whitening solutions designed to lift deep-set stains and revitalize your smile's natural brilliance. While over-the-counter options exist, the most effective and safest results come from the whitening of teeth by dentist professionals. Our advanced treatments offer a more powerful, customized approach that protects your enamel while delivering a noticeably whiter smile.
The Science of a Brighter Smile
The whitening of teeth by dentist professionals works through a process of oxygenation. The active ingredient—typically hydrogen or carbamide peroxide—penetrates the porous structure of your enamel to reach the discolored molecules trapped deep within the tooth. As the whitening agent breaks down, it releases oxygen molecules that break the bonds of the stains, effectively "bleaching" the internal tooth structure without damaging its integrity. This method is far more effective than abrasive whitening toothpastes, which only target surface-level debris.
In-Office vs. Take-Home
Professional Kits
We offer two primary ways to achieve your aesthetic goals through teeth whitening by dentist expertise:
In-Office Whitening: This is the fastest way to brighten your smile, often lightening teeth by several shades in a single, one-hour appointment. We apply a high-concentration peroxide gel and may use a specialized light to accelerate the process.
Professional Take-Home Kits: For those who prefer the convenience of whitening at home, we provide custom-fitted trays that ensure the professional-grade gel is distributed evenly and stays away from your gums.
The Difference: In-office treatments provide immediate, dramatic results for those with tight schedules. Take-home kits offer more gradual whitening over two weeks and are often preferred by patients with a history of tooth sensitivity.
Understanding The Cost Of Teeth Whitening
Investing in a brighter smile is a common goal, and we are happy to provide clear information regarding the cost of teeth whitening in British Columbia.
- Professional Take-Home Kits: Typically range from $300 to $500, which includes your custom trays and a supply of whitening gel.
- In-Office Professional Whitening: Generally ranges from $500 to $800+ per session, reflecting the immediate, high-impact results and clinical supervision.
- Variable Factors: The total cost of teeth whitening can vary based on the level of staining and whether preparatory treatments, like a professional cleaning, are required to ensure even results.

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.
