The dentist assesses your oral health, examines your teeth, and discusses your expectations for teeth whitening. This step may involve reviewing your dental history to ensure suitability for the treatment.
Before the whitening process, a professional cleaning is often recommended to remove plaque and tartar, ensuring more effective whitening results.
A high-concentration whitening gel containing peroxide is carefully applied to your teeth. The dentist takes precautions to protect your gums and soft tissues from the gel.
For some whitening systems, a special light or laser is used to activate and enhance the effectiveness of the whitening gel.
After the appropriate time, the whitening gel is removed from your teeth. Your dentist will then rinse your mouth and provide a fluoride treatment if necessary.
The dentist provides instructions on how to care for your whitened teeth, including dietary advice and oral hygiene tips to maintain the results.
A follow-up appointment may be scheduled to check on the progress of the whitening and to discuss any further treatments or touch-ups if necessary.
