Teeth Whitening

Brighten your smile safely and predictably. Vigee Dental offers professional Opalescence in-office whitening that lifts stains from coffee, tea, wine, and everyday life while protecting your enamel and gums. We tailor strength and technique to your goals, timeline, and sensitivity level.

Why Professional Whitening

  • Faster, more even results than store kits

  • Dentist-applied gel and precise isolation to protect gums

  • Options to manage sensitivity and track shade changes

  • Trusted system used by thousands of dentists worldwide

Our System: Opalescence Pro In-Office

  • Powerful yet controlled: 40% hydrogen peroxide, professionally applied for noticeable results in about an hour. Typically two to three 20-minute applications.

  • No light needed: Chemically activated gel, so no hot or uncomfortable LED lamps.

  • Comfort features: Contains potassium nitrate and fluoride (PF) to support comfort and enamel. Distinct red gel aids accurate placement and clean removal.

Whitening Options

Rapid, dentist-applied whitening for a same-day boost before events or photos.

We can provide professional gels for your custom trays to maintain or gently brighten at home over several days.

Description: Placed the same day as extractions so you leave with teeth while gums heal; adjusted as tissues settle.
Best for: Patients who need multiple extractions and do not want a gap period without teeth.

Description: Dentures that attach to dental implants for superior stability, less movement, and stronger chewing. Often allows a more open palate for improved taste and comfort.
Best for: Patients seeking maximum security and bite strength, or those who struggle with loose traditional dentures.

Description: Services that tighten the fit, refresh worn bases, and fix cracks or broken teeth to keep dentures comfortable and reliable.
Best for: Current denture wearers experiencing looseness, sore spots, or damage who want to restore comfort without starting over.

Description: A cushioned layer bonded to the inside of the denture to absorb pressure and reduce irritation.
Best for: Patients with thin, tender, or irregular gum tissues, and those who find lower dentures uncomfortable.

What To Expect at Your Teeth Whitening Appointment?

I

Assessment and Shade Match
We examine gums, enamel, and existing work, then record your starting shade and goals.

II

Isolation and Application
A protective barrier shields your gums. Freshly mixed Opalescence Pro gel is applied in short, monitored cycles.

III

Rinse and Compare
We remove the red gel completely, re-check your shade, and decide if another 20-minute cycle is appropriate.

IV

Sensitivity Control & Plan
We provide desensitizing strategies and an at-home maintenance plan tailored to your habits.

Sensitivity Control

  • PF-containing formulas, fluoride varnish when helpful

  • Adjusted wear time or spacing sessions as needed

  • Sensitive toothpaste starting one week before treatment

Who Is a Good Candidate

  • Healthy gums and enamel with surface or age-related staining

  • Patients who understand that fillings, crowns, and veneers will not change colour and may need replacement to match after whitening

Care After Whitening

  • Avoid deep-coloured foods and drinks for 48 hours

  • Rinse with water after dark beverages

  • Use custom trays for periodic touch-ups as advised

  • Keep regular cleanings and exams

Whitening FAQ
