What to expect
Consultation:
• Dr. Kellen Tadano will perform an examination to verify you’re an ideal candidate for whitening.
• After a shade assessment, we’ll discuss available whitening options and how to prevent sensitivity.
• Temporary tooth sensitivity, especially to cold, may occur during or after the whitening procedure. Dr. Tadano will recommend using Philips Sonicare Fluoridex toothpaste for two weeks before the procedure.
• If you are a good candidate for whitening, we’ll take impressions for your custom fabricated trays.
Day of treatment:
• Dr. Tadano 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.
• Dr. Tadano may adjust the lamp should you experience any sensitivity.
Post-treatment:
• After the last session you will receive your custom fabricated trays, one DayWhite or NiteWhite take-home whitening gel syringe containing three whitening applications, plus a Relief ACP Oral Care gel syringe to relieve any potential tooth sensitivity.
• 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.
