During an in-office whitening procedure, a protective gel is applied to your gums, and a bleaching gel is applied to your teeth. A special light is then used to accelerate the whitening process. The entire procedure typically takes around an hour. For take-home kits, we’ll take impressions of your teeth to create custom-fitted trays. You’ll then use the provided bleaching gel at home according to our instructions. For both options, a pre-procedure consultation is essential.
