Teeth Whitening

What the treatment process looks like

Treatment begins with an exam and assessment of the condition of the teeth and gums, and sometimes preliminary cleaning to remove tartar and plaque. Based on the findings, the appropriate whitening method is chosen — in-office, at-home, or combined. In-office whitening uses higher-concentration materials, enhanced by laser or a whitening lamp, under professional supervision, to achieve a relatively fast change in shade. In at-home whitening, custom trays are fitted, in which whitening material is placed for self-use according to instructions. Throughout the process, monitoring and adjustment take place as needed, depending on response and sensitivity.
