How Is Teeth Whitening Performed?

Our dentists at Rio Rancho Family Dental Care can recommend the teeth whitening solution that is right for you based on an initial assessment. 

Here are some of the most popular teeth whitening procedures you could benefit from:

• In-Office Teeth Whitening

In-office teeth whitening is the quickest and most effective way to remove teeth stains. It is carried out in dental practice by a well-trained dentist such as our own at Rio Rancho Dental. 

The first step is a thorough screening to assess issues like cavities, dental restorations, hypersensitivity, receding gum line. The next step is cleaning the teeth and uniformly applying the whitening gel. The gel is rinsed off after a few minutes and the procedure is repeated if required.

• Take-Home Whitening Kits

Take-home whitening kits include custom-fabricated trays made from dental-grade plastic and a special whitening gel. Our dentists at Rio Rancho Dental will provide clear instructions for use and help you understand the best ways to use it effectively. 

Before use, you have to clean the teeth thoroughly to get rid of any food residues and microbial deposits. Then, you can squeeze a small amount of whitening gel into the trays and spread it evenly before placing them on your teeth. 

After a few minutes, you can take the trays off and rinse your mouth with water. The procedure can be repeated multiple times to get a whiter smile.
