Can’t say enough good things about essential dental. Especially colly, Dr.Karm and Dr.Kler. They go above and beyond to make sure the patient is comfortable and has a pain free experience. Can honestly say each appointment is a pleasure and I gladly make the 30 minute commute. Well worth it!

My in-laws and I recently had the pleasure of receiving dental services from Dr. Jimmy Loo, and I am compelled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. Dr. Loo's exceptional patience stood out throughout my entire visit. He took the time to thoroughly explain each procedure, ensuring I felt comfortable and informed at every step. His ability to listen attentively to my concerns and address them with care is truly commendable. I highly recommend Dr. Jimmy Loo for anyone seeking dental services. His wonderful demeanor, extreme professionalism, and unwavering patience set him apart in the field. My dental experience was not only painless but genuinely pleasant, thanks to Dr. Loo and his dedicated team.

Dr Loo has been my dentist for over 12 years. I am always impressed by his consistency, dedication to his profession and genuine care for his patients. When discussing the procedure for either a root canal, bridge, crown or an extraction, he is patient and explains clearly all the options, pros/cons, and what to expect. During the procedure, he always makes sure you are fine and he is willing to make changes/adjustment for you to get the best results. He is very flexible to accommodate dental emergency requests and gives you a follow-up call himself after something serious such as a tooth extraction. All the staff on his team are friendly and helpful. Seeing a dentist is not a fun thing, however, I always feel reassured seeing Dr Loo, because I know I am in good hands. I highly recommend Dr Loo to anyone who is looking for a caring and competent dentist.

Why choose professional teeth whitening?

Everyone’s smile is different. Age, diet, medication, and lifestyle all play a role in how your teeth look. A product that works for one person might not work for another, and many store bought products can actually harm your gums or cause uneven results.

    Professional teeth whitening from a Dentist in Vancouver provides clear advantages:
  • Tailored to You: We begin by understanding what bothers you about your teeth and what kind of results you want. After a thorough exam, we’ll recommend the best whitening method for your smile and your oral health.
  • Done by Experts: Our dentists are trained in whitening techniques and know how to apply treatments safely and effectively.
  • Powerful Results: We use prescription strength whitening agents that can achieve far more dramatic results than anything you’ll find in stores.
  • Quick Improvements: With in office treatment, you’ll see noticeable whitening after just one visit.
  • Even Whitening: Over the counter strips often leave patches. Our technique ensures full coverage so your teeth look evenly white from every angle.
  • Minimized Sensitivity: We use advanced tools, including lasers, to reduce the chance of discomfort or gum irritation during treatment.

Only a qualified dental professional can recommend the safest and most effective option for you. Call us today to learn more or to book your whitening session.

At Home Whitening Kits

If you prefer to whiten your teeth at your own pace, our custom at home kits are a great option. These kits deliver professional level results from the comfort of your home over three to four weeks.

    Here’s what sets our kits apart:
  • Professional Grade Gel: The whitening solution we provide is stronger and more effective than any drugstore brand.
  • Custom Fit Trays: Unlike one size trays, our kits include trays molded from your actual teeth. This ensures complete and even coverage.
  • Expert Guidance: You’ll receive clear instructions and advice from our dental team to make sure your whitening process is safe and effective.

Choose our take home kits if you want flexibility without sacrificing quality.

When is the best time to whiten your teeth?

If you’re planning to get crowns, veneers, or fillings in the near future, whitening your natural teeth first helps ensure everything matches. Since dental materials won’t respond to whitening agents, it’s smart to brighten your teeth ahead of time so your new dental work blends in perfectly.

Let us help you brighten your smile with a treatment plan that suits your lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for immediate in office whitening or a flexible at home solution, a qualified Dentist in Vancouver BC can guide you toward a smile you’ll love.

Why teeth become stained or discoloured

Surface Stains: Tooth enamel, although strong, is porous. This means it can absorb pigments from foods and drinks, leading to surface stains. Common culprits include:

  • Tea, coffee, wine, cola, and fruit juices
  • Tomato based sauces and soy sauce
  • Sugary and colourful foods
  • Berries, cherries, and other deeply coloured fruits
  • Tobacco use
  • Poor diet or inconsistent oral hygiene

Deeper Stains: Discolouration can also occur inside the tooth, beneath the enamel. As we age, enamel naturally thins, allowing the yellowish or grey inner layer to show. Other causes include medication, illness, or injury.

Teeth whitening lifts the natural colour of your teeth without relying on more invasive procedures. Whether done in office or with a custom take home kit, you can expect visible results with little to no sensitivity.

In Office Whitening

The most effective option for most patients is an in office procedure. A powerful whitening solution is applied using custom trays, then activated with a special light or laser. This treatment targets both surface stains and deeper discolouration and provides immediate results while minimizing sensitivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Even with regular brushing, plaque can harden into tartar, which can only be removed by a dentist or hygienist. This hardened layer causes yellowing. Brushing alone won’t remove tartar once it has formed.
