Whether you want a quick smile refresh or a dramatic whitening transformation, our experienced dental team is here to help you achieve a radiant smile you’ll feel confident sharing every day.
Teeth Whitening Process
1. Custom Impressions & Shade Selection
Impressions of your teeth will be taken to create custom take-home trays that fit your mouth perfectly. The ideal shade for your smile will also be determined during this step.
2. Personalized Whitening Trays
Your custom trays ensure even application of the whitening gel, maximizing results and comfort.
3. Whitening Gel Application
You’ll apply the professional whitening gel into your trays as instructed, usually worn for a set time each day.
4. Continued Use for Best Results
Consistent use over the prescribed period (often 7–10 days) delivers optimal whitening results. Every patient’s results are different, and natural teeth are not paper white. The degree of whiteness varies depending on your tooth structure.

During the Teeth Whitening Process
1. Avoid Staining Substances To achieve the best results, avoid dark-staining foods and drinks, including:

- Apply a small bead of gel into the tray and place it on your teeth.
- Opalescence 15%: Wear 4–6 hours at night

3. After Each Application
- Remove any excess gel with a Q-tip.
- Rinse and brush your teeth after removing the trays.
- Brush your trays to keep them clean.
4. Managing Sensitivity
- If you experience sensitivity, apply fluoride gel into the trays and leave on your teeth for at least 5 minutes. Re-apply as needed.
