Professional teeth whitening produces significantly superior outcomes than any over-the-counter whitening kit. Typically, only one or two visits are required to obtain the desired results, whereas retail kits take weeks longer. Additionally, in-office whitening offers greater safety, less wear on your enamel, and a brighter smile that lasts longer.
Dr. Castillo will whiten your teeth with the necessary skill to avoid hurting your gums or other sensitive tissues. The procedure is multi-step. At the conclusion of these steps, you will have a grin that you are proud to show off and that you can enjoy immediately.
Teeth Whitening Procedure
Dr. Castillo will determine the optimal shade of white for your smile prior to beginning the whitening treatment. They next polish your teeth using a gritty powder to eliminate plaque and other debris from the surface of your teeth. To protect your lips, cheeks, and tongue from chemicals, most dentists use a retractor to gently draw them away from your teeth.
A gum barrier is next applied by your Dr. Castillo or a hygienist to protect your gumline from the whitening solution. He or she coats your teeth with the solution, which contains an active bleaching agent called peroxide. Dentists utilize a curing light or laser to complete some of these procedures while the peroxide works for around 30 minutes to an hour.
You rinse your mouth once your teeth reach the desired shade of white. Certain individuals receive a fluoride application to alleviate sensitivity. If the intended outcomes are not achieved during the initial session, you arrange another appointment to repeat the treatment.
