Professional Whitening
How Does Professional Teeth Whitening
Compare to Store-Bought Products
in Calgary?
Over-the-counter whitening products cannot match the results of professional-grade treatment. At Royal Oak Smiles, we offer both in-office whitening for immediate, dramatic results and custom take-home trays for gradual, convenient brightening on your schedule. Both options use professional-strength whitening agents that penetrate enamel safely and effectively — leaving teeth visibly whiter without sensitivity-causing overtreatment.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
About Teeth Whitening in Calgary
Teeth whitening costs at Royal Oak Smiles depend on whether you choose in-office whitening or custom take-home trays. Contact the clinic at (403) 374-6161 for current pricing. Some dental insurance plans cover a portion of professional whitening. Royal Oak Smiles direct-bills most major Alberta insurance providers.
Results vary by patient based on initial tooth colour and the cause of staining. Most patients achieve 4 to 8 shades of improvement with professional-grade whitening agents. Intrinsic staining from tetracycline or fluorosis may respond less predictably. Dr. Muhammad Hamdan, DMD, will assess your teeth at the consultation and give you a realistic expectation for your specific case.
Yes, with proper assessment. Royal Oak Smiles evaluates your sensitivity level before treatment and provides desensitizing gel and adjusted wear schedules to keep the process comfortable. Patients with severe sensitivity or significant enamel erosion may be advised on modified protocols. Always avoid over-the-counter whitening strips if you experience sensitivity — they lack the precision of a custom-fitted professional tray.
Professional whitening results typically last 1 to 3 years, depending on diet, oral hygiene habits, and tobacco use. Coffee, tea, red wine, and berries are the most common causes of re-staining. Royal Oak Smiles provides maintenance guidance and touch-up protocols to extend your results. Custom take-home trays can be used periodically for simple maintenance.
Royal Oak Smiles offers in-office whitening that delivers results in a single 60 to 90 minute appointment — ideal before a wedding, event, or for anyone who wants immediate visible improvement. Take-home trays are also available for those who prefer to whiten gradually over 10 to 14 days at home. Call (403) 374-6161 to book.
