What to Expect With Professional In-Office Teeth Whitening 

Are your daily cups of tea or coffee making your teeth look discolored? If you’ve got brownish or yellowish stains from beverages or foods, coming to our office for teeth whitening can help! At Valley Esthetics Dental Group, our dentist in Modesto, CA, offers professional services to break up stains on tooth surfaces, leaving you with a gleaming smile! Here’s what you can expect when you visit us for this treatment.

Preparing Your Teeth for Whitening

Our dental team places a cheek retractor in your mouth, exposing your teeth for better access — and better results! We also take steps to protect your gums so they won’t become irritated from the whitening agent.

Applying Tooth Whitening Gel

Once your mouth is all set, we put a coating of gel on your teeth to start the whitening process. This gel contains strong bleaching agents that help break up discolorations and stains on tooth surfaces. We may also use a UV light to speed up this process for your convenience.

Finishing Up Treatment

Our team rinses whitening gel off your teeth thoroughly and checks to see the results. Depending on how stained your teeth are, it might take a few visits to start seeing whiter teeth. But with minor discoloration, it’s common to notice results much sooner!

How Long Does Whitening Take?

Most of these visits should take about an hour or so. It depends on factors, such as how many teeth are being treated and how severe discoloration is.
