Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening treatment is a procedure designed to lighten the color of your teeth using a combination of a hydrogen peroxide gel and a specially designed ultraviolet lamp. The treatment involves using the gel and lamp in conjunction with each other to produce maximum whitening results in the shortest time possible. The whitening gel  will be applied to your teeth and the teeth will be exposed to the ultraviolet light from the lamp for three 15 minute sessions. During the treatment, a plastic retractor will be placed in your mouth to keep it open and the soft tissue of the mouth (lips, gums, cheeks and tongue) will be covered to ensure they are not exposed to either gel or light. Eye protection will also be provided. After the treatment, the shade of the upper-front teeth will be assessed and recorded.
