Teeth Whitening in Ottawa: Restore Your Radiant Smile
Your smile is your greeting to the world. Over time, life happens—coffee, tea, and even healthy favorites like blueberries leave their mark. While darkened or yellowed teeth aren’t always a sign of poor health, a bright, pearly-white smile radiates confidence and vitality.
If you’ve tried over-the-counter strips and felt underwhelmed by inconsistent results, it’s time for a professional upgrade. At The Teal Umbrella, we provide medically supervised teeth whitening in Ottawa tailored specifically to your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Whitening in Ottawa
How long will my appointment be?
The Pola Office+ treatment typically takes about 2 hours to complete in-office. It is pain-free, and most patients find it incredibly relaxing.
How long does teeth whitening last?
Depending on your lifestyle (and your love for coffee!), results typically last between 6 months to 2 years. Regular touch-ups with our take-home kits can extend your brilliance indefinitely.
How are the results different than over-the-counter products?
Professional teeth whitening in Ottawa offers higher concentrations of whitening agents and custom-fitted protection. This means faster results, less sensitivity, and more even coverage than drugstore strips.
Who can benefit from Pola?
The Pola whitening treatment is perfect for the busy professional who is looking to get immediate results. With the Pola Office system, you can whiten your teeth dramatically in just one sitting.
Is the treatment safe?
Yes, clinical studies have shown that when applied correctly under the supervision of a dentist, this method is 100% safe for your teeth. However, Pola is not recommended for children or those who are pregnant.
Will I experience any side effects?
Pola is a safe, non-painful procedure. The majority of our patients experience no side effects whatsoever. Although the Pola Office+ product uses a neutral pH bleach that inhibits sensitivity, those who suffer from sensitive teeth might experience temporary irritation following the treatment, but this will naturally subside within a few hours.
I have restorations, how will these react?
The whitening can remove existing surface stains on the composite restoration, but it will not change its original colour. If you would like to change your restoration to a brighter white to match your Pola results, let us know and we will discuss all of the options available to you.
How does it differ from the take-home kit?
They contain different amounts of hydrogen peroxide – the in-office treatment offers the highest amount. This produces more powerful and faster results than the take-home kits. The in-office treatment can whiten up to 8 times lighter in one visit, the take-home kit can whiten up to 6 times lighter over a number of days. Why the difference? Dentists have access to higher concentration bleaching agents. The take-home kit is designed to touch up your whitening treatment.
