Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that uses a 16% Hydrogen Peroxide gel in combination with Blue light technology to break down stains on the teeth and enhance their brightness. The blue light accelerates the whitening process by activating the hydrogen peroxide, which penetrates the enamel to lighten discoloration.

This advanced method provides effective whitening results in a relatively short time, usually within a 65-minute session. 

Individuals with natural teeth looking to improve their smile’s brightness. Those who have recently had braces removed (at least 6 months prior) or have had a dental cleaning in the past month should wait before undergoing whitening. People with bonding, veneers, or other dental adhesives may not see results, as these materials do not respond to whitening agents.

Avoid brushing your teeth with toothpaste for at least 4 hours before the treatment, as fluoride can reduce the effectiveness of the whitening gel. It’s also recommended not to brush on the day of the procedure for optimal results. Ensure it’s been at least 4 weeks since your last dental cleaning to allow the fluoride from those treatments to diminish.

Post-treatment, your teeth may be sensitive for 24 to 48 hours. During this period, follow the “White Diet,” avoiding foods and drinks that could stain, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and berries. If consuming these, use a straw to minimize contact with your teeth. Keeping hydrated with water and maintaining oral hygiene with mild toothpaste can help alleviate any sensitivity.
