Your dentist will work with you to determine the length of time to wear your bleach tray to minimize sensitivity. Gum irritation has also been reported. These products promise a lot, but their results are not as reliable nor as effective as professionally dispensed systems. The whitening of dental bleaching systems occurs as an oxidation process inside the tooth. Tell me about the procedure.
Treatment begins with a dental exam, consultation, and photographs.
Impressions are made of your teeth. The dental laboratory will fabricate a custom tray for your use. It will be returned to the dentist to check the fit and the bleach will be dispensed with instructions and follow-up appointments. Our current policy is to provide bleaching for those who could benefit from it after proper diagnosis. This is initiated by direct patient request.
