what to expect
In the time it might take for your lunch break, you can have a beautiful white smile. Plan on being at our office for about an hour. The preparation of your teeth will take just a few minutes. The bleaching process takes about 15 minutes, but this is usually repeated several times for a total of 45 minutes. While you wait for the process to work, you can relax and use our headphones to watch TV or listen to music.
We usually recommend that patients have their teeth cleaned before undergoing the whitening procedure.
There is no pain associated with the whitening procedure, although patients with a strong gag reflex might find parts of it to be uncomfortable. Let us know ahead of time if you suspect this will be an issue for you.
