What To Expect at Your Teeth Whitening Appointment
We will start by examining your teeth, and then recommend a teeth whitening solution to suit your requirements.
We will suggest either an in-house treatment or one you can do at home, yourself.
Before we embark on any whitening, we'll perform a thorough professional teeth cleaning.
This allows the whitening solution to be more effective and come in contact with more of the surface area on the teeth.

What is the difference between Store bought and professional Whitening Systems?
Store-bought bleaching kits do not include a good custom fitted tray and often do not have the same concentration of bleaching agent as our professional gels. They use a standard one-size-fits-all tray that may or may not touch the teeth evenly. You are welcome to try store bought bleaching kits, but we highly recommend our professional custom fitted trays.
How long does your in-office whitening take?
Our in-office whitening session is divided into 15-minute applications for maximum carbamide peroxide gel concentration and light exposure. Individuals with sensitive teeth may require a lower light setting for less intensive treatments, while those with very heavy stains may require additional treatments.
How long will the results last?
This varies from patient to patient and depends on the types of foods and drinks you consume in your daily diet. This also depends on your general oral hygiene practices. The results of teeth whitening should last up to one year. Again, depending on your daily habits, periodic treatments may be recommended for those who smoke or consume coffee, red wine, colas and other staining foods or beverages. Most people whiten again every six months.
