Teeth whitening methods

Teeth whitening in a dental office

This procedure is performed in a dental office under supervision. In this procedure, a stronger whitening gel is used in combination with a special light or laser technology that activates the gel and enhances the whitening. It will also carefully protect your gums and other parts of the oral cavity to avoid irritation.

Home teeth whitening

This method involves the use of whitening gels or strips that can be obtained from a dentist. Gels are applied to special splints that are placed on the teeth, or strips are used that adapt to the surface of the teeth. These methods are usually applied at home according to the dentist's instructions.

How is the teeth whitening procedure performed?

The teeth whitening procedure in the dental office usually consists of several steps:

1. Review and preparation

The dentist will examine your teeth to determine if you are a suitable candidate for teeth whitening. They will also assess the color shade and discuss with you your expectations for the procedure. Before whitening begins, the dentist will protect the gums and other parts of the oral cavity to avoid irritation.

2. Application of whitening gel

The dentist will apply a whitening gel to the surface of the tooth. This gel contains an active ingredient, usually peroxide, that breaks down stains and dark pigments on the teeth.

3. Gel activation

After applying the whitening gel, the dentist may use a special light or laser to activate the gel and enhance the whitening. This light or laser stimulates the whitening gel and allows it to penetrate deeper into the tooth enamel.

4. Multiple treatments

The teeth whitening procedure often consists of several treatments performed at certain intervals. This allows gradual whitening of the teeth and achieving the desired results.
