Selkirk Dental provides teeth whitening treatment for patients across the Columbia-Shuswap and Kootenay regions.

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry service designed to reduce staining and brighten the natural shade of your teeth. Discolouration can occur from foods, drinks, smoking, medications, or natural aging. Our dental professionals help patients choose a teeth whitening treatment that aligns with their goals, timeline, and oral health.
Teeth Whitening Can Brighten Your Smile
Teeth whitening is often chosen to improve the appearance of stained or discoloured teeth. Many patients find that whitening supports confidence when smiling or speaking. Teeth bleaching works by lifting stains from the enamel to create a lighter, more even tooth colour.

Reduce surface stains from coffee, tea, or wine

What to Expect During Teeth Whitening Treatment
Your teeth whitening treatment at Selkirk Dental begins with a personalized assessment. While every plan is unique, here’s what patients can generally expect:
Oral Health Assessment
We examine your teeth and gums to confirm that teeth bleaching is appropriate and discuss your whitening goals.
Shade Evaluation and Planning
We record your starting tooth shade and review whitening options, our clinic uses based bleaching products.
Teeth Whitening Application
The selected whitening treatment is applied under controlled conditions to help lift stains safely and evenly.
Post-Treatment Guidance
We provide aftercare instructions to help maintain your results and reduce sensitivity following treatment.
Is in-office teeth whitening worth the cost compared to at-home kits?
In-office teeth whitening is often chosen by patients who want noticeable results in a shorter timeframe and prefer treatment guided by a dental professional. The whitening gel is applied under controlled conditions, which allows for even coverage and helps reduce the risk of gum irritation or uneven shading.
At-home teeth whitening kits can be more affordable, but results typically develop more gradually and may vary depending on how consistently the product is used. Teeth whitening kits also do not take into consideration the color of any false teeth or chip repairs you may have had done to your teeth, which need to be colour matched for best aesthetic results. Over-the-counter kits are not customized to your teeth, which can lead to uneven whitening or limited improvement for deeper stains.
During your teeth whitening consultation, we review both in-office and at-home teeth bleaching options. This allows you to compare timelines, expected outcomes, and cost considerations so you can choose the teeth whitening treatment that best fits your goals and lifestyle.
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Take?
In-office teeth whitening treatments can often be completed in a single appointment, while some options involve take-home trays used over one to two weeks. The timeline depends on the type of teeth whitening treatment chosen and your starting tooth shade. During your consultation, we explain what to expect and outline a clear plan.
Caring for Your Teeth After Whitening
Maintaining your results depends on daily habits and routine dental care. These steps can help extend the appearance of your whitening treatment:
Brush twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste
Limit foods and drinks that stain teeth
Avoid tobacco products
Visit your dental professional regularly for exams and cleanings
Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening

Yes. Selkirk Dental provides teeth whitening treatment for patients throughout the Columbia-Shuswap and Kootenay regions. Patients frequently visit us from Salmon Arm, Sicamous, Malakwa, Nakusp, Golden, New Denver, Slocan, Winlaw, Burton, Trout Lake, Field, and Lake Louise.

-
Many public figures use repeated teeth whitening treatments and maintain strict oral care routines. Some may also choose cosmetic dentistry services such as veneers. Teeth whitening can brighten natural teeth but results vary depending on enamel and existing stains.
-
Tooth shade preferences vary from person to person. Many patients choose a natural-looking brightness that complements their skin tone and facial features rather than an overly white appearance.
-
Yes — at-home teeth whitening products can cause tooth sensitivity and gum irritation, especially if they’re overused or don’t fit properly. Generic strips or trays may also lead to uneven whitening, and abrasive or high-strength products can wear down enamel over time. For safer, more predictable results, it’s best to follow instructions carefully and speak with a dental professional before whitening, particularly if you have sensitive teeth or existing dental work. Incorrect use or the use of strong products may also lead to temporary tooth sensitivity.
-
Yes, in some cases a single tooth can be treated if it appears darker than surrounding teeth. Discolouration may be caused by trauma, previous dental work, or internal staining. During an assessment, a dental professional evaluates the tooth and discusses whether teeth whitening treatment or another cosmetic dentistry option may be appropriate to help improve colour balance.
