A Brighter Smile Starts Here in Sherwood Park
Teeth whitening has become one of the most in-demand cosmetic dental treatments. Whether you're preparing for an event, updating your look, or just ready to boost your confidence, whitening can help you feel more comfortable in your smile.
But with so many options—over-the-counter kits, online solutions, and professional treatments—it’s not always clear what actually works. At Granada Dental, we simplify the process. We provide clinically backed whitening options that deliver results, supported by a team focused on your comfort, convenience, and satisfaction.
Why Whiten Your Teeth?
Even with good brushing habits, it’s normal for teeth to become discoloured over time. Coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, and even some medications can cause staining. Natural aging also plays a role, slowly dulling enamel.
Professional teeth whitening at Granada Dental is a safe, effective way to reverse this discolouration. You’ll enjoy a brighter, more even smile that looks natural—and feels like you again.
Teeth Whitening Options: What Actually Works?
A major question we hear from patients in Sherwood Park is, “Is professional teeth whitening really that different from what I can buy at the store?” The short answer: yes.
What to Expect During a Whitening Appointment
We start every whitening journey with a short consultation. Our team will assess your enamel health, gum condition, and the cause of your discolouration. From there, we’ll recommend the best whitening option for your needs and lifestyle.
During the procedure, we carefully apply the whitening gel to your teeth and activate it using LED technology. You’ll sit comfortably for about 45–60 minutes while the gel works its magic. Most patients experience little to no discomfort, and the results are visible immediately.
For take-home kits, we’ll take impressions to create custom trays and provide instructions on how to use the gel for consistent results over 10–14 days.
Is Teeth Whitening Safe?
Yes—when performed under professional supervision, teeth whitening is safe for most patients. At Granada Dental, we use enamel-safe gels and carefully monitor treatment to ensure both safety and comfort. We also adjust the strength of the gel depending on your tooth sensitivity or dental history.
If you’ve had previous dental work such as crowns or veneers, we’ll help you understand how whitening might interact with those materials and suggest the right approach to maintain consistency in your smile.
Will It Cause Tooth Sensitivity?
It’s true that some people experience temporary tooth sensitivity after whitening. At Granada Dental, we address this with:
-
Desensitizing agents included in the whitening gel
-
Custom-fitted trays that limit gum contact
-
Post-whitening care tips, such as avoiding cold drinks for 24 hours
Sensitivity typically fades within 24–72 hours. If you’re prone to sensitivity, we can take extra steps to ensure your comfort.
How Long Do Whitening Results Last?
The longevity of your whitening results depends on your diet, habits, and oral care routine. On average, in-office whitening results can last 6–12 months, while take-home treatments last slightly less but can be easily refreshed.
To keep your smile bright:
-
Brush twice daily and floss regularly
-
Limit staining foods and drinks
-
Rinse or brush after consuming coffee, wine, or dark berries
-
Schedule regular dental cleanings
We also offer touch-up kits for ongoing maintenance.
How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost in Sherwood Park?
We believe cosmetic care should be accessible. Granada Dental offers transparent, competitive pricing with options to fit your budget:
-
Take-Home Custom Whitening Kits Available
These treatments are not typically covered by insurance, but we can assist with flexible payment options to make your smile upgrade stress-free.
Who’s a Good Candidate?
Most healthy teens and adults are candidates for whitening, but we always perform a full evaluation to confirm:
-
No untreated cavities or gum disease
-
No major enamel erosion
-
Realistic expectations about results
If you have deep, internal stains (like tetracycline discolouration) or extensive restorations, we may recommend other cosmetic solutions such as veneers or bonding for a more uniform appearance.
