Our Whitening Methods at Hemlock Dental


The most suitable whitening option depends on the type and severity of staining, your oral health, and the results you want to achieve. You can also review the factors that affect teeth whitening cost before choosing a treatment. We offer different professional methods tailored to your lifestyle and preferences. If you are looking for the most common whitening methods, here are 3 of them:

  • Zoom Whitening: Ideal for those seeking immediate, dramatic results. This in-office treatment uses advanced light-activatedhydrogen peroxide gel
    to break down stains quickly and safely. You’ll walk out of your session with noticeably whiter teeth—often up to 8 shades brighter in just one visit.
  • Laser Whitening: A cutting-edge technique that combines whitening gel with precision laser energy. This method is perfect for patients with sensitive teeth, as it delivers powerful results with minimal discomfort. It’s fast, efficient, and ideal for special events or big moments.
  • Home Whitening Kit: Prefer to whiten your teeth at your own pace? Custom-fitted take-home trays are designed to ensure even application and safety. The professional-grade gel offers gradual brightening over 10–14 days with long-lasting results. It’s convenient, flexible, and great for ongoing maintenance.

Did you know? Teeth bleaching is simply a stronger form of whitening designed to lift deep stains.

How Teeth Whitening Happens at Hemlock Dental


Curious about what your appointment will look like? Here’s how our in-office teeth whitening works—step by step:

  • Treatment Duration: Each whitening session takes about 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the method chosen.
  • Method Used: We use Zoom Whitening or Laser Whitening, both of which are fast, effective, and powered by professional-grade peroxide-based gels.
  • Comfort First: Before we begin, your lips and gums are carefully protected to prevent irritation. You’ll relax in a comfortable chair to ease any anxiety.
  • Gentle Process: The whitening gel is applied in layers and activated with specialized light. We monitor your comfort throughout the session to make sure you feel safe and at ease.
  • Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, we’ll provide personalized instructions—including what to eat (and avoid) for the next 24 hours—to help you maintain your results with minimal sensitivity.

At Hemlock Dental, your comfort and results are our top priority. Whether it’s your first time whitening or you’re coming back for a refresh, we make sure the entire experience is smooth, safe, and satisfying.

I had an excellent experience at Hemlock Dental Clinic. I went there last week for a dental cleaning, and I was honestly very impressed with the quality of care. I have always been quite nervous about dental cleanings, but the dentist was extremely gentle, professional, and careful. The entire procedure was done without the slightest pain or discomfort, which was a wonderful surprise for me. I really appreciate the dentist and the entire team for making the experience so comfortable and stress-free. Thank you for the excellent care and professionalism. I highly recommend Hemlock Dental Clinic to anyone looking for a caring and professional dental clinic.

I had a dental emergency. The dentist cancelled her own lunch to accommodate me (she never told me this but the front desk confirmed it). The dentist listened to my concerns and expertly fixed the problem. Honestly, I would give more than 5 stars if I could. I'm really grateful!

The first time I visited this clinic I showed up when they were closing, Zhina kindly let me in and Dr. Alavi checked my teeth patiently. After that, Dr. Alavi and her great assitants Maryam and Anandi, fixed my prolonged and difficult teeth problem in several very pleasant appointments. Dr, Alavi's skill and expertise are impeccable and most importantly, she really cares about her patients. Niki also always goes out of her way to help me out, doing extra work to make sure I get the best for my teeth, she also speaks madarin! Pendar is good at cleaning teeth too. Can't wait for my teeth to rot and I can give this great clinic another visit! ha

Excellent dental care. The male hygienist is friendly, professional and relaxed. Front desk staff and the dentist are wonderful. Prices align with the B.C. fee guide. They make sure that insurance is billed correctly. So happy that I switched to this dentist a couple of years ago.
