"Quality Dentistry With A Gentle Touch"

What Happens During In-Office Tooth Whitening?

This procedure is done in a series of appointments (usually 3-5) until the desired effect is achieved. During in-office tooth whitening a solution of hydrogen peroxide is carefully applied to the selected teeth. The teeth are then exposed to a special light (at a fairly close range) to accelerate the bleaching process. A number of steps are involved to endure the most esthetically pleasing results.

1. Lubricant is applied to the gums.

2. A protective material (dental dam) is placed around the necks of the teeth to isolate your gums, tongue and lips.

3. The teeth are thoroughly cleaned to remove excess lubricant.

4. Conditioner is applied; then the teeth are rinsed and dried.

5. The teeth to be whitened are covered with cotton gauze.

6. The whitening solution is applied to the gauze covered teeth and a special light is positioned. (You may be given a pair of glare-reducing eyeglasses to wear during the procedure.)

7. When the lightening process is completed, the gauze and dental dam are removed.

8. The teeth are given a final polish.

Note: To attain the desired degree of whiteness, the procedure may have to be performed a number of times. You may also require a simple "touch-up" visit once a year to maintain your bright new smile.
