Consultation:

After a shade assessment, our dentist will discuss available whitening options and how to prevent sensitivity.
Temporary tooth sensitivity, especially to cold, may occur during or after the whitening procedure. You may be recommended to use Philips Sonicare Fluoridex toothpaste for two weeks before the procedure.
Day of treatment:
Our dentist will instruct you to take one ibuprofen an hour before procedure.
Your procedure starts with an application of vitamin E to your lips. Your gums are covered with a protective barrier and your teeth are coated with Philips Zoom WhiteSpeed in-office whitening gel.
The WhiteSpeed lamp will then be positioned near your teeth to accelerate the whitening process.
The procedure consists of up to four sessions each lasting 15 minutes. For each session, the whitening gel will be replaced by a new coating.
We may adjust the lamp should you experience any sensitivity.
Post-treatment:
You will be advice that you may experience some level of discomfort up to 24 hours after the treatment. Painkiller may be prescribed to be taken when necessary.
It is adviced to refrain from taking beverages or activities that can stain teeth for the initial weeks after the whitening treatment.
If you consume beverages that stain teeth, such as coffee, tea or wine, or if you are a smoker, brushing with a Philips Sonicare DiamondClean power toothbrush will help reduce surface stains.
