How long is the treatment?
The professional treatment session usually lasts about 45-60 minutes. We will consult with you about the process beforehand. During the appointment, prescription strength gel is applied to the enamel, avoiding the gum area and lips. Each session can lighten teeth 2-6 shades whiter. Results are seen instantly.
Do I do anything before I come?
It is best to brush your teeth before your appointment. After your appointment, it is important to avoid coffee, red wine, red pasta sauces, and any other dark staining foods for 24 hours as the teeth continue to process and brighten.
How often can you whiten your teeth?
Depending on how white you want your teeth and how stained they are (which depends on how much coffee and red wine you drink etc.) you can start with 2 sessions and add additional sessions as needed for extra whitening power. We will give you a consultation and put together a plan that will work best for you.
How is this different than over the counter options?
Our gel is different from other whitening options in several ways: it’s safe on enamel, protects gums, causes little to no-sensitivity, is a registered natural health product and on top of all that, it’s more cost-effective.

Red Light Therapy
LED and Near infrared light therapy is when colors and type of light are used to help instigate naturally occurring physiological processes in our bodies that can produce cellular healing.
Clinical studies show this therapy can help increase circulation, stimulate collagen production, and decrease nervous excitability in cells because of the Nitric oxide production stimulated.
Red light therapy is said to increase the function of the mitochondria in the cells. Mitochondria are known as the “Power Houses” of cells. If cells have more “Energy” they can repair themselves and heal damage more efficiently. Consistency is key when initially beginning Red Light Therapy.
