WHAT IS TEETH WHITENING?
Teeth Whitening is the process of lightening the colour of your teeth. Whitening is often desired when teeth become yellowed over time for several reasons. Whiter teeth can be achieved by changing the colour of the tooth enamel.
WHY GET THIS SERVICE DONE HERE?
We use one of the best whitening gels in the industry, consisting of hybrid hydrogen peroxide. It’s much more gentle than whitening gels you can find at the dentist as we have a lower percentage of hydrogen peroxide. Although that doesn’t change the results of our gels giving you white teeth with minimal to no sensitivity.
Our whitening gels are made in North America, health Canada regulated and FDA approved. All products are GMO, gluten, vegan and cruelty-free.
