What Does Teeth Whitening Entail?
First, our dentists meet with you for a consultation, so you know everything you can expect from the procedure before examining the health of your teeth and mouth. If you need fillings or other essential tooth treatments, we will take care of those first. Next, we assess the extent of your teeth discoloration so we know how to approach it. We make sure to keep you informed about every element of the treatment, including its cost, so nothing catches you by surprise.
Remember, this procedure may not be suitable for you if you have hypersensitive teeth. This could signify that your teeth are suffering from an underlying cause we must address first. In extreme cases where your tooth staining is particularly deep or intractable, we may advise an alternative, such as veneers.
What’s a Teeth Whitening Procedure Like?
- We begin by applying gauze to keep your teeth dry. Your teeth are then polished to remove any plaque.
- We then coat your teeth with a teeth whitening gel that uses hydrogen peroxide to penetrate the pores of your teeth, bleaching them to a beautiful, natural white.
- Next, we use a low-level heat light, activating the hydrogen peroxide agents within the gel, bleaching away your stains, and giving you a smile you’ve been looking for.
- The solution will remain on your teeth for around an hour.
- In some cases, we will apply a fluoride solution to aid with sensitivity.
It may take more than one visit to give you the specific shade you want. Still, the process generally does not require more than a single appointment lasting an hour and a half.
Is there a Recovery Process?
You can expect some sensitivity in your teeth and gums after the procedure. Otherwise, you should be able to resume your daily activities after leaving our dental clinic.

Can I Do This Procedure at home?
Teeth whitening cleaning kits are available over-the-counter if you want to perform the procedure on your own. However, these kits are usually just whitening toothpaste and some dental strips; they are much less effective and do not last as long. If you are serious about whitening your teeth, the best option is to go with a professional whitening treatment. Don’t settle when it comes to your smile; get help from the experts!
Is Teeth Whitening Common?
Everyone could use a more beautiful smile to boost their confidence and make a better first impression. As a result, professional teeth whitening procedures are very popular and are among the more common cosmetic dental procedures.

However, these procedures are more complicated. With professional teeth whitening, you won’t need a prosthesis. And your teeth will not need to undergo any involved drilling or reduction.
How Long Does Whitening Last?
However, unlike these options, professional teeth whitening is not permanent. It may naturally fade due to the foods and beverages you consume. Therefore, you may have to revisit your dentist for the whitening treatment after some time. In the meantime, you can extend the lifespan of your teeth shade by minding the foods and drinks you consume.
