Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is an increasingly popular treatment. The teeth whitening procedure is a simple and effective way to create a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your smile.
Initial Consultation
In preparation for your treatment, your dentist will give you a full dental check-up and try to analyze where the stains in your mouth have originated. It is important for the dentist to determine this, as it will help him or her decide how effective your treatments will be. If you have particularly difficult staining that your dentist believes will not respond to teeth whitening treatments, he may suggest that you explore other cosmetic dentistry options, such as porcelain veneers, to achieve your desired results.
Treatment Details
On the day of your treatment, your dentist will give you a quick cleaning and then apply peroxide to your teeth. Then, the teeth are exposed to a special light that helps to activate the whitening gel. The professional teeth whitening treatment takes approximately one hour. During this time, you can relax in the dentist's chair while the whitening gel works to remove stains from your teeth.
