Welcome to the Procedure!
Professional in-office teeth whitening is a safe, efficient, and highly effective treatment performed by our dentists. Here's what you can expect during the procedure:
Initial Consultation: We will first examine your teeth and gums to ensure you are a good candidate for teeth whitening. Any existing dental issues, like cavities or gum disease, will need to be addressed before whitening.
Preparation: Before the whitening process begins, we will clean your teeth to remove any surface debris. A protective barrier is applied to your gums and soft tissues to shield them from the whitening agent.
Application of Whitening Agent: A powerful whitening gel, typically containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, is applied to the surface of your teeth. This gel breaks down stains on the enamel and dentin layers.
Activation: Phillips Zoom 4; a special device that produces blue light or a diode laser (Epic X by Biolase) may be applied to the gel to enhance its whitening effect. The light/ Laser help accelerate the breakdown of the whitening agent, allowing for faster and more effective results.
Monitoring and Reapplication: The gel is left on your teeth for a specified amount of time, usually around 15 minutes. We may reapply the gel several times during the session, depending on the desired level of whiteness.
Rinse and Post-Treatment: Once the desired shade is achieved, the gel is rinsed off, and then we apply a fluoride gel to help reduce any sensitivity.
Results
In-office teeth whitening can dramatically lighten your teeth by several shades in just one session. The results are usually noticeable immediately, with full results appearing within a few days as the teeth continue to whiten.
Post-Operative Instructions for Lasting Results
To maintain your newly brightened smile and maximize the longevity of your whitening results, it's important to follow these post-operative care instructions:
Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks: For at least 48 hours after the procedure, avoid foods and beverages that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and tomato sauce. If you must consume them, use a straw to minimize contact with your teeth.
Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth twice a day with a whitening toothpaste and floss daily to remove plaque and prevent stains. Consider using an electric toothbrush for a more thorough clean.
Use Touch-Up Treatments: We may recommend at-home touch-up treatments to maintain your results. These might include custom-fitted whitening trays or whitening strips that can be used periodically.
Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps wash away food particles and reduces the risk of staining. It also helps to rinse your mouth after eating or drinking.
Avoid Smoking and Tobacco Products: Tobacco can significantly stain your teeth, so avoiding it is crucial for maintaining your whitening results.
Regular Dental Visits: come see us regularly for cleanings and check-ups.
Professional cleanings help maintain your whitening results by removing surface stains and keeping your teeth and gums healthy.
