In-office teeth whitening involves a combination of professional-grade bleaching agents (Hydrogen peroxide) and light technology. This helps to break up stains and discoloration and make teeth whiter and brighter. The first step of the office whitening process is to apply a shield to protect the gums. Then, the teeth are coated with a bleaching product. A LED light on the teeth during treatment is what makes this whitening technique so quick and effective.
