How is the tooth whitening process performed? The professional teeth whitening treatment is meant for offering optimum whitening results within a very short span of time. It is performed under the supervision of an experienced dentist and is becoming popular owing to its effective results in whitening the teeth. When you visit a dentist for general dental care, you may ask him whether a teeth whitening process can be performed on your teeth. The dentist would then evaluate the condition of your teeth and your
overall mouth to determine whether or not you are a good candidate for the process because there are some people who have immensely sensitive teeth which would not be able to bear the chemical treatment.
Once we are confirmed that you are the right candidate for the teeth whitening process, you shall have to go through the following treatments: • Your teeth would be polished with a pumice which is a grainy substance aimed at removing any formation of plaque from the teeth surface. • Then your mouth would be segregated with a gauze so that your teeth remain dry during the whole procedure of teeth whitening. Sometimes, retractors are also used for keeping your mouth, tongue, and lips protected from the chemical solution that would whiten up the teeth. • Then we would place a barrier-like substance along your gum line so that it doesn’t come in contact with a teeth whitening solution. • We would then coat the front surface of your teeth with a whitening solution. Depending on the condition of the mouth, we would go opt for the carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide as the bleaching agent. There are some whitening products which require heat from the laser beams to activate the peroxide solution. The whole thing would be left on your teeth for 30 minutes to an hour after which it may have to be reapplied depending on the results of the first session. • We would rinse your teeth with water once the optimum shade has been achieved or the time of application has passed. In case you are experiencing sensitivity, we would apply a fluoride solution to help to ease the discomfort. You cannot eat foods as well as beverages that contain high levels of pigments such as tea, coffee, juices, yellow mustard, red wine, tomato sauce, tobacco or any other items containing color. This is because you will have to allow the pores on the enamel to close in order to prevent re-staining.
What are the uses of professional in-home teeth whitening strips? The professionally designed teeth whitening strips are an alternative to the in-office treatment and can give excellent results if you can follow the recommendations of the dentist. When we design and craft the kit for you, it will typically cost less than in-office treatment although the results are largely dependent on the dexterity of application. These kits contain a high concentration of hydrogen or carbamide peroxide and have been proven to give excellent results after 1 to 2 weeks of recommended usage. The customizable trays help in keeping the whitening solution on the surface of the tooth that you want to whiten so that only a bit of the solution gets exposed to the sensitive gingival area of the mouth.
How is the in-home teeth whitening kit obtained? • When you come to us for getting a teeth whitening kit, we would go through a few necessary steps so that the kits serve the purpose of whitening your teeth to a considerable extent. • We would first take the impressions of your upper and lower teeth and send it to the laboratory so that the craftsman makes the trays for you. It would not take more than 2 weeks and during this time we would record the present condition of your teeth for comparing when the teeth whitening process has been completed. • You shall have to come to us on the day in which the appointment is fixed. We will show you how you should dispense the whitening solution in the trays that have been crafted for you and also give you instructions in detail that you must follow. • The in-home teeth whitening strips should be used for 1 hour daily for 2 weeks. However, you may use it for touch-up applications later on. There are some brands of whitening solution that you can keep overnight for convenience and better results.

Presently, you can get the peroxide percentage ranging about 10 percent, 16 percent and 22 percent in the teeth whitening solutions. After the treatment is completed, you can use teeth whitening toothpaste to keep up the good results throughout. It is very important to brush as well as floss your teeth before you place a teeth whitening trays on your mouth.
