Teeth Whitening Collingwood

Professional In-Office Teeth Whitening, or Teeth Bleaching, is completed in one of our dental chairs at Collingwood Family Dental. An appointment for Professional Zoom Whitening typically takes between 60 and 90 minutes and requires only one visit to the office, not including any previously required dental treatments.

Here is how Teeth Whitening is done at Collingwood Family Dental:

1. Protection
Our Dental Professional will cover your lips and gums for protection
2. Application
The Zoom Whitening gel will be applied to your teeth
3. Zoom Light
Our specially designed Zoom Whitening light will shine on the gel to activate the process
4. Repeat
This process is repeated 2-3 times until the desired effect is achieved by our Dental Professional
5. Results
Results can be recognized within an hour! After the procedure, our Dental Professionals at Collingwood Family Dental will provide you with post procedure instructions which include foods and drinks to avoid and oral hygiene tips to help keep your teeth white.

Depending on the type of Professional In-Office Teeth Whitening system used, the service can cost anywhere between $200 and $2,000. At Collingwood Family Dental, our team offers Zoom In-Office Whitening services for $399. We also have affordable Take-Home options available, which includes Opalesence Go-Kits. Our Dental Professionals would be more than happy to discuss your options for Teeth Whitening in Collingwood while you’re here at the office!

At Collingwood Family Dental, our fees are based on the current year’s Ontario Dental Fee Guide, which is provided by the Ontario Dental Association. These fees are subject to annual updates from the Ontario Dental Association.

While Teeth Whitening is generally safe when applied correctly, using bleaching agents can cause permanent damage to your teeth and gums. At Collingwood Family Dental, we recommend having your Teeth Whitened under the direct supervision of one of our Dental professionals. If you prefer At-Home Teeth Whitening solutions, we recommend speaking with one of our Dental professionals about the right take home kit for you.

If you’re considering using an At-Home Teeth Whitening kit that is not recommended by our dentists at Collingwood Family Dental, you may experience less desirable results and possibly damage to your teeth.

Here are some of the possible damages that may occur when using Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening products:

– Tooth sensitivity
– Dentin and Enamel damage
– Discolouration and increased risk of staining
– Increased risk of tooth fracture
– Etching of your teeth
– Gum damage and/ or irritation

While Whitening your Teeth is a great Cosmetic Dentistry option, you should always consult with a dentist before choosing a Teeth Whitening treatment in Collingwood. Our dentists at Collingwood Family Dental will be able to go over all of your Teeth Whitening options and provide insight as to which treatment is best suited for your unique oral health condition.

As a purely Cosmetic Dental service, Professional Teeth Whitening is not often covered by Dental Insurances. However, you may have a Health Care Spending account that may cover this treatment entirely! It’s worth contacting your Dental or Health Insurance Provider to see if you have a Health Care Spending Account under your Insurance Plan. Our team would be happy to help go over your Dental Insurance Plan coverage with you to see what options are available!

At Collingwood Family Dental, we offer Direct Insurance Billing for the convenience of our patients. This means we submit your claim and collect payments on your behalf. You are simply responsible for any co-payments, deductibles, or other plan fees at the time of service.
