Process of Teeth Whitening

To achieve a brighter smile, the process begins with an initial consultation to evaluate dental health and set whitening goals. Patients can choose between an in-office whitening procedure or a take-home kit, both preceded by a professional cleaning for optimal results. In-office treatments involve applying a whitening gel with protective measures for gums and mouth, while take-home kits require consistent application of the gel in trays.
