What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a quick and non-invasive treatment that lightens the color of your natural teeth. It’s great for removing surface stains caused by food, drink, and lifestyle habits like coffee, tea, or red wine. The whitening process uses a special whitening gel, often containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to break down the stains and brighten your smile.
There are many teeth whitening treatments available from over-the-counter cosmetic teeth bleaching kits to professional dental teeth bleaching systems. While both will whiten teeth, professional treatments will whiten faster and more. Depending on the treatment results can be subtle to dramatic giving your teeth a lighter shade and restoring their natural brightness.
Our Teeth Whitening Services
At Novacare Dental we offer several teeth whitening options to suit your needs and preferences. Our team will assess your smile, discuss your goals, and recommend the best whitening treatment for you. Whether you need an at-home treatment or an in-office whitening session we’ve got you covered.
- In-Office Professional Whitening: Our most popular option, professional teeth whitening in Langley involves applying a high-strength whitening gel in the office. This treatment uses hydrogen peroxide lightened by a special zoom light to enhance the results. You’ll see noticeable results in one visit.
- At-Home Whitening Kits: If you prefer a more gradual approach we offer custom-made mouthguard appliances for whitening at home. This option allows you to whiten teeth at your own pace using dental teeth-bleaching materials like carbamide peroxide. You’ll wear the mouthguard with the bleaching gel for a few hours a day or overnight for a few weeks.
- Cosmetic Teeth Bleaching Kits: These over-the-counter kits use lower-strength whitening agents and come with pre-filled trays or strips. While convenient the results may take longer and we generally recommend professional treatments for more dramatic results.
- Internal Bleaching for Root Canal Teeth: If you have a tooth that’s turned gray or yellow due to a previous root canal internal bleaching might be the solution. This treatment targets the discoloration from the inside of the tooth.

The Teeth Whitening Procedure at Novacare Dental
At Novacare Dental we make teeth whitening easy, comfortable, and effective. Our process is designed to get you the best results with minimal discomfort such as tooth sensitivity or minor gum irritation.
- Consultation: During your first visit our dentist will examine your teeth and gums to make sure you’re a good candidate for whitening. We’ll discuss your desired whiteness and recommend the best treatment option.
- Preparation: Before we apply the whitening gel we’ll clean your teeth to remove any surface stains. A mouthguard appliance is fitted to protect your gums from the whitening agents.
- Application of Whitening Gel: We’ll apply a professional-grade bleaching gel, either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, to your teeth. If you’re doing in-office treatment we may use a zoom light to activate the gel.
- Waiting Period: The whitening gel will sit on your teeth for about 15-30 minutes depending on the treatment plan. During this time the hydrogen peroxide lightens the stains.
- Final Results: After the gel is removed you’ll see immediate results and we’ll evaluate your smile. If needed we may recommend additional treatments or at-home care to maintain your whiter teeth.
