The Whitening Procedure

Step 1: Dental Examination

Dr. Carine examines your teeth and gums to ensure you are a suitable candidate for whitening. Any existing dental issues (cavities, gum disease) are addressed first.

Step 2: Shade Assessment

Your current tooth shade is recorded using a professional shade guide. Dr. Carine discusses your whitening goals and the expected outcome.

Step 3: Whitening Application

A protective barrier is placed on your gums. Professional whitening gel is applied to your teeth and activated with a specialized light. The process is repeated in 2-3 cycles during the session.

Step 4: Results & Aftercare

Your new shade is assessed and compared to the starting point. You receive aftercare instructions to maintain your brighter smile, including dietary guidelines for the first 48 hours.
