If your teeth have lost their pearly white healthy appearance you are not alone. Aging, diet, injuries along with many other factors cause teeth to dull and yellow. Professionally supervised Teeth Whitening is a safe an effective dental procedure. Whitening is a mild bleaching process that restores stained or discoloured teeth to a healthy, natural colour.

The results from Whitening can last for extended periods of time especially with touch-ups treatments (done at home). "Touch-ups" are especially useful for patients that drink beverages that are prone to stain teeth, such as coffee, tea and red wine.

Feel free to ask the Hamilton dentist, Dr. Barzilay, about professional tooth whitening as well as over the counter agents. Together you can compare treatments and determine which solution will be most effective for you.

Some patients may experience heightened tooth sensitivity or mild tooth or gum sensitivity during treatment, but these symptoms are only temporary and disappear within a few days after the treatment is finished.
