YOUR CHOICE FOR TEETH WHITENING TREATMENT IN NE CALGARY
What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.
Having whiter teeth has now become the number one aesthetic concern of most patients. The most popular method is using a home tooth whitening system that will whiten teeth dramatically. Since teeth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is important to evaluate the replacement of any old fillings, dental crowns in Calgary, etc. Replacement of any restorations will be done after bleaching so they will match the newly bleached teeth.

In-Office Teeth Whitening
Our professional Pathways Dental Clinic in-office whitening treatment uses a high-quality and fast-acting, light-activated ZOOM Whitening. A more powerful and advanced whitening agent than our take-home kit, our in-office ZOOM Whitening is performed by your Calgary dentist and is an excellent option to combat tooth staining in as little as one appointment. It typically takes around 60 minutes. Your Calgary dentist will cover up the lips and gums, leaving only the teeth exposed. Hydrogen peroxide whitening gel will then be applied to the teeth. The gel is exposed to special LED light and works to break the discoloration. The gel is left on for 15 minutes, and the procedure is repeated three to four times.
Internal Whitening
Teeth that have had a root canal treatment done in the past and are discolored can be internally whitened to achieve great results. The teeth whitening is done from the inside of the tooth, where staining may have occurred due to previous nerve damage or infection.

I have always felt uncomfortable with dentists, and have always had a bad time with the freezing portion of the treatment. Dr. Kim and his dental assistant today were fantastic and very well spoken. They kept checking to make sure I was okay and that I was comfortable! I also like that they explained everything they were doing as they were doing it, that definitely put me more at ease. THANK YOU PATHWAYS DENTAL!!
