This process may be repeated several times during the appointment to achieve the desired level of whiteness. For take-home kits, you'll apply the whitening gel to the trays and wear them as directed by our dentist.
- Post-Treatment Care
- After the treatment, we’ll provide you with instructions on how to care for your teeth and maintain your newly whitened smile. This may include avoiding certain foods and drinks that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, and red wine.
