About Teeth Whitening in Windsor
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment designed to reduce stains and discoloration, helping improve the overall appearance of your smile. Over time, teeth can become darker due to factors such as coffee, tea, certain foods, aging, or lifestyle habits. Professional whitening treatments use carefully selected products to help lighten the shade of your teeth while taking your oral health into consideration.
You may be a candidate for teeth whitening if you are looking to improve the appearance of stained or discoloured teeth and have healthy teeth and gums. A dental consultation can help determine whether whitening is suitable for you and whether any existing concerns, such as cavities or gum issues, should be addressed before treatment.
If you notice changes in your tooth colour that do not improve with regular brushing, or you feel self-conscious about tooth discoloration affecting your smile, speaking with a dental professional can help you explore available options.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does professional teeth whitening take?
The treatment time depends on the whitening method used and your individual needs. During your consultation, your dental team can explain what to expect from the recommended option.
Is teeth whitening suitable for everyone?
Teeth whitening may not be suitable for every patient. Your dentist will consider factors such as your oral health, the cause of discoloration, and your dental history before recommending treatment.
Can teeth whitening remove all types of stains?
The effectiveness of whitening depends on the type and cause of the discoloration. Some stains respond well to whitening, while others may require different cosmetic treatment options.
Will teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity after whitening treatment. Your dental team can discuss ways to manage sensitivity and determine the most appropriate approach for you.
How can I maintain my results after teeth whitening?
Maintaining good oral hygiene, attending regular dental visits, and limiting foods and drinks that contribute to staining can help preserve your brighter smile.
Can fillings, crowns, or veneers be whitened?
Whitening treatments affect natural tooth structure and may not change the colour of existing dental restorations. Your dentist can discuss options if you have restorations that do not match your desired shade.
Teeth Whitening at Rose City Dental in Windsor
We whiten teeth with custom take-home trays, fitted at our office at 300 Tecumseh Rd E, Unit 220, here in Windsor. We take impressions and have trays made to your teeth — that is what keeps the gel on the enamel and off your gums, and it is the real difference between this and a drugstore kit.
You whiten at home over a couple of weeks, at your own pace, and you can stop or slow down if your teeth get sensitive. Whitening only changes natural enamel, so if you have crowns, veneers or bonding at the front, we will show you what will and will not change colour before you spend anything.
We are open until 7:00 pm Monday through Thursday, until 5:00 pm Friday, and Saturday mornings from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. We bill most insurance directly so you only pay your portion at the desk, and we accept and bill the Canadian Dental Care Plan. We will tell you exactly what your plan covers for this treatment before anything starts. Every one of our dentists speaks Arabic as well as English.
Call 519-252-5444 to book. New patients are welcome and you do not need a referral.
