Your dentist will examine your teeth and gums to ensure they are healthy and suitable for whitening. This may include discussing your dental history and any previous treatments.

To protect your gums and other soft tissues from the whitening agents, your dentist will use a protective shield or gel.

Sometimes, a special light or laser is used to activate the whitening agent, helping it to penetrate the enamel more effectively and speed up the whitening process.

Your dentist will assess the results and may take photos to compare before and after shades. Depending on the initial condition of your teeth and your desired results, additional sessions might be needed.

Before the whitening process begins, your teeth will be professionally cleaned to remove any plaque and tartar.

A whitening gel containing a peroxide-based bleaching agent is applied to the teeth. The concentration of the bleaching agent can vary depending on the desired level of whitening and the specifics of the product used.

After the whitening treatment is complete, the gel is rinsed off, and your teeth are cleaned to remove any residue.

You’ll receive instructions on how to care for your newly whitened teeth, which may include avoiding certain foods and beverages that can stain teeth and using specific oral care products to maintain the whiteness.
