What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?

Professional teeth whitening is a dental procedure that brightens the color of your teeth. It uses a powerful bleaching agent that removes stains and discoloration from teeth. Unlike over-the-counter teeth whitening products, professional teeth whitening procedures are performed under the supervision of a dentist and are more effective.

There are two main types of professional teeth whitening procedures that dentists typically offer: 

Over-the-counter teeth whitening products, such as whitening toothpastes, whitening strips, or a teeth whitening pen, don’t offer the same results as professional treatments. They can also cause harm to your teeth. If you’re looking for a whitening solution, always contact a dental professional.

The Teeth Whitening Treatment Process

When you visit our Palm Beach Gardens, FL dental office for teeth whitening treatments, you can expect the following to happen during the whitening process:

  1. Initial Consultation: You’ll meet with our dentists to go over your oral health and see if tooth whitening is best for you.
  2. Teeth Cleaning: Our dental professionals will clean your teeth.
  3. Protection: We’ll place a barrier (often a rubber dam or protective gel) around the gums to shield them.
  4. Whitening Agent Application: A high-concentration peroxide gel is then applied to the teeth. This whitening gel is much stronger than the ones available in over-the-counter whitening products, such as teeth whitening strips.
  5. Activation: Some whitening systems use a special light or laser to activate the peroxide gel and enhance its bleaching effect.
  6. Rinse: After the desired shade is achieved, or once the maximum time has been reached, our dentist will rinse off the gel.

Caring for your newly whitened teeth is essential to maintain results.
