When you choose in-practice teeth whitening, stronger whitening ingredients are used to safely complete your treatment. The result? Instantly brighter teeth, with little to no sensitivity.
Before having whitening, you’ll need a consultation* with your dentist to ensure you’re dentally suitable for treatment.
Once your dentist has confirmed you’re suitable for whitening, they’ll take impressions of your teeth which are used to create custom-made trays.
They’ll also talk to you about the shade of white you want to achieve.
When your trays are ready, you’ll come back for your whitening session.
During the appointment, your dentist will place a shield in your mouth to protect your gums, before painting the whitening product onto your teeth. They will then use the Philips Zoom! lamp to activate the whitening solution.
The whitening is done in four 15-minute sessions, but you’ll need to allow up to 2-hours for the whole appointment.
Before you leave, your dentist will give you your top-up kit (which you can use as the whitening starts to fade) and explain how to use it at home.
They’ll also discuss how to hold onto your brighter smile. This includes brushing your teeth well, regular visits to the hygienist and cutting down on smoking or drinks that can stain your teeth.
