The Teeth Whitening Journey
Free Consultation & Assessment
We evaluate your dental history, shade target, and check for active cavities or gum issues to ensure you are a safe candidate for professional whitening.
Professional Cleaning (Scaling)
Placque and tartar are thoroughly cleaned off. Polishing the tooth surfaces ensures the whitening gel can penetrate your enamel evenly.
Shade Matching & Impressions
We record your starting shade using a reference guide. If you are receiving a take-home kit, digital impressions are taken to mill custom trays.
Barrier Application
A specialized liquid plastic barrier is applied over your gums and cured with a light. Cheek retractors are used to protect your lips and tongue.
Whitening Gel Placement
A professional concentration hydrogen peroxide gel is evenly spread on the front surfaces of your top and bottom teeth.
Laser Activation (Cycles)
A specialized laser light is positioned to activate the gel. We run 3 to 4 cycles of 15 minutes, fresh gel is applied each cycle.
Desensitizing Gel Application
We wash away the whitening agent and apply a fluoride or potassium nitrate desensitizing gel to soothe the teeth and restore mineral balance.
The 48-Hour “White Diet”
You must follow a strict color-free diet for the first 48 hours. The pores in your enamel are open and highly susceptible to restaining.
Take-Home Kit & Touch-ups
Receive your custom-fitted trays and maintenance gel. Use it periodically as instructed by your dentist to maintain your radiant smile for years.
Teeth Whitening FAQ
An in-office laser whitening session takes about 60 minutes in total. This includes the application of gum protection, applying the bleaching gel, and running 3 to 4 rounds of laser activation. If you choose to add custom take-home trays, we can have them ready for you within 24 to 48 hours.
Yes. When performed under dental supervision, professional teeth whitening is completely safe. The hydrogen peroxide whitening gel temporarily opens the pores in your enamel to lift stains, but it does not alter or weaken the physical structure of your teeth.
Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity (often described as “zips”) during or immediately after the procedure. This is completely normal and resolves within 24 to 48 hours. At ValueDent, we use protective barriers and apply specialized desensitizing agents post-treatment to minimize discomfort.
Typically, results last anywhere from 1 to 3 years. The exact duration depends largely on your lifestyle and diet. Smoking, drinking coffee, tea, cola, or red wine will stain your teeth faster. Periodic use of your custom take-home touch-up kits will extend your bright results significantly.
No. Whitening agents only react with natural tooth structure. Any dental restorations (composite fillings, crowns, bridge work, veneers) will remain their original color. If you plan to get restorations on front teeth, we recommend whitening your natural teeth first so we can match the restoration shade to your newly brightened smile.
The “White Diet” is a list of color-free foods you should consume for 48 hours following treatment. Since your enamel pores are open, they easily absorb dark pigments. You should eat foods like milk, water, white yogurt, rice, chicken, turkey, and white fish, while strictly avoiding coffee, tea, wine, berries, curry, and tobacco.
