In-office professional whitening

Light-cured whitening has become popular because good results are obtained in a short time and because it is reliable and safe. It is considered the safest cosmetic dentistry procedure, with full satisfaction at the patient end of the deal. This whitening procedure takes place with whitening agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.

In-office whitening occurs in only one visit; after only one hour, your smile will be shinier. The treatment uses Opalescence Boost 40%, a higher concentration whitening gel, which will be activated with a special lamp.

At-home whitening is performed with trays and it uses a lower concentration (Opalescence 16%). The trays are worn 3 to 7 days until the desired result is obtained.

Whitening is not recommended in:

• patients with sensitive teeth;
• patients with sensitive gums or with receding gums;
• patients sensitive or allergic to substances in the whitening product;
• too young of age or pregnancy;
• unlikely expectations;
• dental fluorosis;
• brown staining because of cavities;
• grey-bluish staining, because of amalgam fillings.

The whitening substance acts only on the organic material: fillings and prosthetic works will not change their color.

During the whitening, teeth should not come in contact with colored food and drinks (red wine, coffee, soft drinks etc.).

Young patient arrives for consultation for aesthetic reasons. After the lamp whitening treatment (using Opalescence Boost), the result obtained is spectacular.
