Understanding the Teeth Whitening Process

Here is a step-by-step guide to what you can expect during your professional teeth whitening appointment at Quinn Dental:

1. Initial Consultation: We begin with a thorough examination of your oral health. Dr. Quinn will evaluate the condition of your teeth and gums to determine if teeth whitening is appropriate for you. During this consultation, you can discuss your desired results and any concerns you might have.

2. Pre-Treatment Cleaning: For the whitening agent to work effectively, your teeth must be clean. Hence, we perform a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, ensuring the whitening agent can penetrate your teeth evenly.

3. Protection: To protect your gums and soft tissues from the whitening agent, we apply a protective layer. This step is crucial to avoid any irritation during the treatment.

4. Application of Whitening Agent: We then apply a professional-strength whitening gel to your teeth. At Quinn Dental, we use high-quality whitening products that are more effective and safer than what is available over the counter.

5. Activation: Depending on the whitening system we use, the gel might be activated using a special light or laser. This step helps to speed up the whitening process, breaking down stains more effectively.

6. Post-Treatment Evaluation: After the treatment, we assess the results and ensure you are satisfied with the outcome. We also provide aftercare instructions to help maintain your newly whitened smile.
