A bright, confident smile can change how you speak, how you laugh, and how you show up in the world. At Aurora Sky Dental, located in the Aurora Shopping Centre near Costco in East Regina, Dr. Ravi Patel offers professional teeth whitening solutions designed to lift stains safely, brighten your natural teeth, and help you enjoy a noticeably whiter smile with predictable results.

Whether you’re preparing for a special event, refreshing your confidence, or simply tired of trying over-the-counter whitening strips and whitening toothpastes, our clinic provides both in-office whitening and at-home teeth whitening systems that use science-backed ingredients to brighten your smile while protecting your tooth enamel and long-term oral health.

The whitening process itself is designed to fit easily into a busy schedule. Because our clinic is just minutes from Balgonie, Pilot Butte, White City, and Emerald Park, patients often appreciate how convenient it is to brighten their smile after their commute or pairing an appointment with their trip to Winners/Homesense at the Aurora Shopping Centre. Simply put, professional whitening treatment at Aurora Sky Dental is fast, comfortable, and incredibly accessible.

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening in Regina?

There are countless teeth whitening products available these days, from whitening strips and gels to at-home kits and natural remedies like baking soda or coconut oil pulling. While some options lift light surface stains, most cannot address deeper discolouration caused by coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, aging, or certain medications.

Professional whitening treatment at Aurora Sky Dental offers:

Higher Concentrations of Whitening Agents

Clinical formulas using hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide penetrate enamel safely and effectively, far beyond anything you can buy at a store.

Faster, More Predictable Results

With in-office whitening, you can brighten your smile multiple shades in a single visit.

Customized Whitening Trays

Our at-home whitening kits include custom mouthguards designed to distribute gel evenly and reduce irritation.

Reduced Tooth Sensitivity

We minimize tooth sensitivity using protective agents, careful monitoring, and fluoride applications.

Safety Backed by Science

Our whitening solutions follow evidence-based guidelines supported by Canadian dental associations and current best practices in professional dentistry.


Teeth whitening is not only about beauty, it’s about safety and trust. With Dr. Patel’s guidance, you can whiten confidently and achieve results that look natural, not artificial.

Understanding How Teeth Become Discoloured

Your tooth colour changes over time due to lifestyle, diet, genetics, and aging. At Aurora Sky Dental, we evaluate the type of stains you have to determine the best whitening method for your smile.

Extrinsic Stains

These are surface stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, berries, tobacco, and everyday habits. They typically respond well to standard whitening.

Intrinsic Stains

These deeper stains sit within the tooth structure and may require higher concentrations of whitening gel or a long-term whitening system.

Developmental Discolouration

Medications, enamel defects, or trauma may alter natural teeth colour. In some cases, whitening works beautifully; in others, veneers or other dental restorations may be recommended.

Because every smile is different, Dr. Patel creates a customized whitening treatment that matches your goals, comfort level, and oral health needs.

Why Over-the-Counter Whitening Isn’t Enough for Most People

With drugstore shelves filled with whitening strips, gels, pens, and LED kits, many patients wonder whether over-the-counter tooth bleaching products are enough to achieve noticeable results. While these options can help lift light tooth stains, they often fall short for deeper discolouration or enamel affected by years of coffee, tea, or red wine.

Most OTC systems contain very low concentrations of bleaching agent, meaning they only work on the outermost layer of enamel and require long, repeated use to create even a subtle change. Because the application is inconsistent, results are often uneven and for people with sensitive teeth, using generic products without guidance can lead to discomfort or gum irritation.

In-Office Whitening in Regina: Fast, Controlled, Powerful Results

In-office whitening at a dentist is your option for a dramatic, immediate improvement. This whitening procedure uses professional-strength bleaching gel activated under controlled conditions to brighten your smile quickly.

Benefits of In-Office Whitening

  • Safe, supervised environment
  • Precise application to protect gums
  • Significant shade improvement in one visit
  • Excellent for stubborn stains
  • Perfect for upcoming weddings, graduations, or photographs

In a single appointment, patients often achieve a noticeably brighter smile that can last for years with proper care.

At-Home Teeth Whitening Kits: Professional Results with Convenience

Our at-home whitening systems combine effectiveness with flexibility. You receive custom trays, professional-grade whitening gels, and detailed instructions, allowing you to whiten gradually on your schedule.

Why Patients Love At-Home Whitening

  • More affordable than in-office
  • Great for maintaining long-term results
  • Gentle formulas reduce sensitive teeth concerns
  • Easy to touch up before events
  • Effective for both extrinsic and mild intrinsic stains

These systems outperform store-bought otc kits, whitening strips, or whitening toothpastes because they offer better adhesion, deeper penetration, and controlled gel distribution.

Is Teeth Whitening Safe?

When performed by a professional Regina dentist, teeth whitening treatment is extremely safe. Dr. Patel evaluates your gums, enamel, and overall oral health before recommending any whitening solution, ensuring the process is both effective and gentle. This careful approach helps you avoid common issues such as gum irritation, enamel dehydration, incorrect use of bleaching products, or whitening materials interacting with existing fillings or veneers.

If conditions like gum disease, cavities, or weakened enamel are present, those concerns must be treated first, because at Aurora Sky Dental, your health always comes before cosmetic goals.

Understanding Whitening Ingredients: Hydrogen Peroxide vs. Carbamide Peroxide

Both ingredients are effective whitening agents, but they behave differently. Dr. Patel chooses the best active ingredients based on your tooth structure, lifestyle, and whitening goals.

Hydrogen Peroxide

  • Works quickly
  • Ideal for in-office whitening
  • Excellent for heavy stains

Carbamide Peroxide

  • Breaks down slowly
  • Ideal for at-home, overnight whitening
  • Gentle on sensitive teeth

Is Whitening Right for You?

You may be an ideal candidate for whitening if you want to:

  • Lift dark stains
  • Improve overall tooth color
  • Refresh your enamel after orthodontic treatment
  • Prepare for veneers or bonding
  • Boost confidence
  • Achieve white teeth safely

Dr. Patel evaluates your enamel, gum health, and restoration history to ensure the safest and most effective outcome.

What Teeth Whitening Cannot Change

While whitening is highly effective, it does not change the colour of crowns, bridges, bonding, dental restorations, veneers, or old fillings. These materials do not respond to whitening agents the same way natural enamel does. If your existing restorations no longer match your desired tooth shade, we can update them as part of a personalized whitening system or a complete smile-refreshing plan to ensure your results look natural and beautifully balanced.

Tooth Sensitivity After Whitening: Causes, Prevention and Treatment

Mild tooth sensitivity after whitening is common. It typically lasts 24–48 hours and can be minimized with:

  • Desensitizing toothpaste
  • Fluoride application
  • Shortened wear time for trays
  • Lower-strength gel
  • Avoiding extremely hot or cold foods temporarily

Dr. Patel reviews all possible side effects before beginning your treatment so you feel comfortable and informed.

Maintaining Your Whitening Results

Whitening is a partnership and with proper care, your results can last for years. To keep a white smile, we recommend:

  • Excellent oral hygiene
  • Regular tooth brushing and flossing
  • Avoiding staining foods and drinks
  • Drinking through a straw when consuming dark beverages
  • Routine checkups and cleanings
  • Touch-up whitening every 6–12 months

Natural Whitening “Hacks”: What Works and What Doesn’t

Professional guidance is crucial for protecting your tooth enamel while achieving safe, long-lasting results. Many people try natural DIY options, but they’re not all safe.

Baking Soda

Can help remove surface stains but is abrasive, overuse can harm enamel.

Coconut Oil Pulling

Freshens breath but does not significantly whiten teeth.

Lemon Juice or Vinegar

Never recommended. These acids severely damage enamel.
