Teeth Whitening Process in Surrey

The teeth whitening process can vary based on the method used. However, a professional in-office teeth whitening treatment usually includes the following steps. 

• Dental Exam: ​Before whitening begins, the dentist completes a dental exam. This helps make sure your teeth and gums are healthy and suitable for whitening.
• Shade Selection: ​The dentist uses a shade guide to check the current colour of your teeth. If old fillings affect your smile shade,  Composite Fillings may help restore a more natural tooth appearance.
• Dental cleaning: A dental cleaning may be completed before whitening. In addition, removing plaque, tartar, and surface stains can help the whitening treatment work better.
• Isolation and Protection: ​​​Afterward, the dentist protects your gums and nearby oral tissues before applying the whitening gel. For example, a dental dam or protective gel may be used for this step.
• Application of Whitening Gel: ​​The whitening gel is carefully applied to the teeth. It often contains hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. Depending on the system, a special light or laser may help activate the gel.
• Multiple Sessions: In some cases, the dentist may apply the whitening gel in several short sessions. Each session usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Monitoring Progress: ​​During treatment, the dentist checks the whitening progress. As a result, the dentist can ensure that your teeth reach the desired shade safely.
• After-Whitening Care: ​​After whitening, your teeth may be more likely to stain for a short time. Therefore, it is best to limit coffee, tea, red wine, and other staining foods or drinks.
  Furthermore, good oral hygiene is important for maintaining your results. Regular brushing, flossing, and a  Routine Dental Check-up   can help keep your smile healthy and bright.
• Take-Home Kits: Finally, the dentist may provide custom whitening trays and professional whitening gel for at-home use. These kits can help maintain your results or touch up your smile when needed.
  If you want to improve your smile further, treatments such as Dental Veneers may also be an option.  Learn more about teeth whitening from the Canadian Dental Association.
