The Teeth Whitening Process

1 step

Your dentist will examine your teeth and gums. This is to ensure whitening is safe for you. It also identifies dental work like crowns and bonding that don’t whiten with a professional treatment.

2 step

A professional cleaning is done first to remove plaque and surface debris. This helps the whitening product work more effectively.

3 step

Your dental professional will place a protective barrier against your gums to protect them from the gel.

4 step

A professional-grade bleaching agent is applied to your teeth with either a brush, sponge, or other device. This gel is stronger than over-the-counter products.

5 step

A special light may be applied to activate the gel accelerate results.

6 step

The gel is removed and your teeth are rinsed. The results are evaluated by you and your dentist. You will get tips for maintaining the brightness.

What to Consider with Teeth Whitening

Professional whitening can give you a brighter smile and trained dentists offer a safer procedure than doing it yourself with at-home kits. We tailor your treatments to your teeth that can reduce sensitivity and avoid damage. However, your teeth could be sensitive afterward and whitening doesn’t change the color of veneers, crowns, or dental bonds.
