What should I expect during a teeth whitening procedure?

During a teeth whitening procedure at New Image Dentistry & Implants, you can expect a comfortable and pain-free experience. Firstly, our experienced dental professionals will thoroughly clean your teeth to remove any plaque or debris. Then, a protective barrier will be applied to your gums and lips to shield them from the whitening gel. Next, a peroxide-based gel will be carefully applied to your teeth, which will penetrate the enamel and break down stains, revealing a brighter smile. To activate the gel, a special light or laser may be used. This process usually takes around 30-60 minutes and may involve multiple sessions for desired results. After the procedure, you may experience temporary tooth sensitivity, which usually subsides. Our team will provide you with post-treatment instructions and guidance to maintain your dazzling, whitened smile for longer.
