In Office Teeth Whitening

As the name implies, this is an in-office dental procedure performed in a dental care center to whiten the stained or discolored teeth. It is a non-surgical cosmetic and professional procedure that enhances the whiter color tone of teeth and ensures a long-lasting, radiant smile.

Who is a good candidate for this professional teeth whitening treatment?

This professional treatment is suitable for people looking for whiter or brighter teeth instead of stained or discolored teeth. However, firstly, the dentist at Progressive Orthodontics will diagnose the prevalence of gum disease, if any, or other dental issues that affect the quality of whitening results. Accordingly, the consultation is given, and the whitening procedure is recommended. Notably, this procedure is not best suited for patients with chronic gum disease, completely worn enamel, gray-tinted teeth, or extremely sensitive teeth. In this case, dentists will either recommend an alternative treatment or a combination of treatments to get the best results.

Advantages of choosing in office teeth whitening options

  • 1. Personalized professional services

    It is a professional service carried out by trained, certified, and experienced cosmetic dentists within a dental care center. Also, personalized treatment and care are given, as every patient has a specific need with whiter tones.

  • 2. Quality whitening agents & protective gels

    Dentists use the latest, high-concentration peroxide-based bleaching agents that can reach the enamel layer to remove stains and whiten the teeth. Also, a protective gel is applied to prevent damage to gums or lips.

  • 3. Immediate and effective after results

    This is one of the most important benefits of teeth whitening—effective whiter tones can be seen immediately after the procedure. In fact, no other whitening procedure can give such brighter results.

  • 4. Safe, convenient, and cost-effective

    This in-office procedure takes place under favorable medical conditions and takes less than an hour at the patient’s convenience with minimal prerequisites. Also, this procedure is affordable when compared to other cosmetic dental procedures.

Steps involved in an in-office teeth brightening procedure

Step 1: Patients undergo an initial consultation that includes diagnosis and eligibility checks, and Dentists introduce patients to in-office treatment options, their effectiveness, and costs.

Step 2: Patients choose the procedure of their choice and pick a preferred date/ time to undergo the whitening procedure.

Step 3: On the day of the procedure, the patient picks the desired whiter tone from the color chart, and the dentist performs the basic cleaning to begin the bleaching steps. Then, the whitening gel is applied and exposed to the respective light for actual bleaching to happen.

Step 4: The in-office whitening procedure is repeated as required to achieve the desired tone. After the repetitions, fluoride is applied to prevent tooth sensitivity.

Step 5: Patients can refer to the before and after pictures, compare the color tones, and evaluate the effectiveness of the whitening procedure. Later, the Dentists advise the after-care tips. Then, patients can leave the dental care center.
