How much does professional teeth whitening cost in Scarborough?

Professional teeth whitening at a dental office typically costs more than at-home kits, but the results are significantly better and longer-lasting. Contact us at (416) 289-8388 for our current pricing. We also offer flexible payment options.

Is teeth whitening covered by CDCP or dental insurance?

Teeth whitening is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan or most private dental insurance plans. However, other cosmetic treatments like bonding may be partially covered depending on your plan.

Does teeth whitening damage enamel?

Professional teeth whitening carried out by a trained dental professional does not damage enamel. We use safe, clinically tested whitening agents and protect your gums and soft tissue throughout the procedure.

How long does teeth whitening last?

Professional whitening results typically last 1 to 2 years depending on your diet and oral hygiene habits. Coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco all shorten the lifespan of whitening results. Regular professional cleanings and occasional touch-up treatments extend your results.

Can I whiten my teeth if I have crowns or veneers?

Whitening agents do not change the color of crowns, veneers, or bonding. If you have existing restorations on visible teeth, we will discuss this during your consultation and recommend the best approach to achieve a uniform result.

Are veneers permanent?

Veneers require a small amount of enamel removal during preparation, which means the process is considered irreversible. However, veneers themselves are long-lasting and can be replaced when they eventually wear down after 10 to 15 years.

What is the difference between bonding and veneers?

Bonding uses composite resin applied directly to the tooth and is completed in one appointment at a lower cost. Veneers are custom-made porcelain shells fabricated in a lab and are more durable, stain-resistant, and natural-looking. Bonding is ideal for minor corrections while veneers are better for more significant smile transformations.

PROFESSIONAL TEETH WHITENING IN SCARBOROUGH

Over-the-counter whitening strips, trays, and toothpastes can take weeks to show minimal results and often cause uneven whitening, increased sensitivity, and gum irritation. Professional teeth whitening at Lornview delivers dramatically better results in a single appointment because we use clinical-grade whitening agents that are not available over the counter.

What to expect at your whitening appointment:

Your gums and soft tissues are protected before treatment begins
A professional-grade whitening gel is applied directly to your teeth
Results are visible immediately after a single session
Teeth typically lighten 2 to 3 shades in one appointment
The entire process takes approximately 60 to 90 minutes

Professional whitening is ideal for:

Surface stains from coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco
Age-related yellowing or general discoloration
Patients preparing for a wedding, special event, or professional opportunity
Anyone who wants a fast, reliable, and long-lasting result

How long do results last?

With proper maintenance, professional whitening results last 1 to 2 years. Avoiding staining foods and beverages, brushing twice daily, and scheduling regular professional cleanings all extend the life of your results. Touch-up treatments are quick and affordable when needed.

PORCELAIN VENEERS IN SCARBOROUGH

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of dental-grade ceramic that are custom-made and bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They are one of the most transformative cosmetic treatments available, capable of changing the color, shape, size, and alignment of your smile in just two appointments.

Veneers are the right choice when:

Whitening alone cannot fix deep or intrinsic staining (from medication, fluorosis, or trauma)
Teeth are chipped, cracked, or worn down
There are gaps or spaces between front teeth
Teeth are slightly misaligned and orthodontics feels like too much
The shape or size of teeth is uneven or disproportionate

The veneer process at Lornview:

At your first appointment, Dr. Cervantes-Lee assesses your teeth, discusses your smile goals, and prepares each tooth by removing a thin layer of enamel. Impressions are taken and sent to our dental lab where your custom veneers are crafted to your exact specifications.

At your second appointment, the veneers are bonded to your teeth with a strong dental adhesive, adjusted for fit and bite, and polished. The result is a natural-looking, long-lasting smile transformation.

What makes porcelain veneers worth it:

Highly stain-resistant compared to natural enamel
Look and feel like natural teeth
Long-lasting with proper care (10 to 15 years or more)
Can address multiple cosmetic concerns in one treatment
Minimally invasive compared to crowns

COSMETIC DENTAL BONDING IN SCARBOROUGH

Dental bonding is the most affordable and fastest cosmetic dental treatment available. Using the same tooth-colored composite resin used in fillings, bonding repairs and reshapes teeth in a single appointment with no lab wait time and no anesthetic required in most cases.

Bonding works well for:

Chipped or slightly cracked front teeth
Small gaps between teeth
Teeth with minor staining that whitening cannot correct
Teeth that are slightly uneven or shorter than surrounding teeth
Exposed root surfaces that are sensitive or discolored

The resin is applied directly to the tooth, shaped by hand, hardened with a curing light, and polished to a natural finish. Most bonding appointments take 30 to 60 minutes per tooth and the results are immediate.

Bonding is not as durable or stain-resistant as veneers, but it is an excellent entry point for patients who want cosmetic improvement without the cost of porcelain. It is also a common first step before pursuing more comprehensive cosmetic work.

COSMETIC CONTOURING IN SCARBOROUGH

Tooth contouring, also called enamel reshaping, is a quick and painless procedure that removes small amounts of enamel to correct minor imperfections in tooth shape. It is often combined with dental bonding for a complete cosmetic result.

Contouring is effective for:

Teeth that are slightly too long or pointy
Minor overlapping at the edges of front teeth
Rough or uneven edges
Small chips that do not require bonding

No anesthetic is needed. Results are immediate. Contouring is one of the most cost-effective ways to refine the overall appearance of your smile with minimal intervention.

SMILE MAKEOVERS AT LORNVIEW

Sometimes a single cosmetic treatment is all you need. Other times, the best results come from combining two or more procedures into a customized smile makeover. At Lornview, Dr. Cervantes-Lee takes the time to understand your goals and build a treatment plan that gets you there in the most efficient and affordable way possible.

Common smile makeover combinations:

Teeth whitening combined with bonding to address both color and shape
Veneers on front teeth combined with whitening on back teeth for a uniform result
Bonding and contouring together to reshape and refine without lab costs
Whitening before getting a crown or bridge so restorations match a brighter shade

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to cosmetic dentistry. We start with a thorough consultation, show you your options, and let you decide what fits your goals, timeline, and budget.

IS COSMETIC DENTISTRY RIGHT FOR YOU?

Cosmetic dentistry is a good fit if you are bothered by the appearance of your smile and it is affecting your confidence, your professional life, or how you feel day to day. You do not need a clinical reason to want a better-looking smile. Wanting to feel good about how your teeth look is reason enough.

That said, we always make sure your teeth are healthy before starting cosmetic treatment. Decay, gum disease, or other active dental issues are addressed first so your cosmetic results are built on a solid foundation and last as long as possible.
