01.
Process
- In your initial consultation, we will evaluate your oral health and whitening goals and discuss in-office teeth whitening and take-home whitening options.
- A customized treatment plan is created based on the level of staining and desired results.
- For take-home whitening, impressions or digital scans are taken for custom trays. Professional whitening gel is provided with instructions for safe use at home.
- For in-office whitening, we start by covering up vulnerable areas inside the mouth, including the lips and gums, to prevent exposure to the peroxide.
- Then, we apply a high-concentration hydrogen peroxide gel directly to the teeth and activate it. You will rest comfortably for a short time while the gel does its work. We remove the coverings and rinse the gel away.
