Tooth whitening, also known as dental bleaching is the process of using oxidative reactions (Carbamide Peroxide or Hydrogen Peroxide) to combine light energy (Laser or Halogen) to cut off the molecular chain, taking away yellow, brown pigments in the enamel and dentin.

Depending on the body of each person, after bleaching, there will be different white results. Although not absolute bleached, the color is brighter before bleaching, normally raised from 2 – 4 tones.

At Dana Dental, we offer several whitening options suitable for the needs of our clients:

1. Teeth whitening at home

We provide a combo of whitening trays and paste so that you can do it yourself at home. The trays are customized to the shape of your teeth, and the amount of whitening solution placed in the tray as long as the time to wear it would be instructed by our dentist.

2. In-Office Laser Teeth Whitening

With this service, our dentists would do the whitening for you, with the help of the plasma layer. The dentist places a whitening solution directly onto your teeth and activates it with an ultraviolet light for a given time. The in-office procedure normally takes one hour.

3. Combination (at home + in-office)

This is a combo package of both at-chair service and at-home kit. You will be provided with a whitening service from our dentists, as well as a whitening kit so that you can do it yourself at home.

Step 1 – Examination, assessment, and consultation

Firstly, you will undergo a comprehensive examination to determine if there are any dental issues and whether you are suitable for teeth whitening. If you are deemed suitable, the dentist will create a specific treatment plan based on the level of whitening required.

Step 2 – Oral hygiene cleaning

The dentist will proceed with oral hygiene cleaning, including the removal of tartar buildup, to facilitate the teeth whitening process and maximize the improvement in tooth color.

Step 3 – Isolation of lips, gums, and teeth using specialized protective tools

After the teeth are cleaned, the dentist will use specialized medical tools to isolate the lips, gums, and teeth, preventing any damage to the lips and gums during the application of the whitening agent and exposure to strong whitening light. The dentist will perform each step carefully, using supporting tools to keep your mouth open. A saliva ejector will be placed, and a barrier will be applied to protect the gums from contact with the whitening agent, minimizing potential harm.

Step 4 – Application of the whitening agent on the tooth surface

Following the isolation of the lips, gums, and teeth, the dentist will carefully apply the whitening agent onto the tooth surface, typically 4-6 mm in thickness. This step requires precision and meticulousness to avoid spreading the whitening agent to surrounding areas.

Step 5 – Direct exposure of laser light to the tooth surface

The dentist will use a state-of-the-art 4.0 teeth whitening lamp to shine light directly onto the applied whitening agent. This will initiate an oxidation-reduction reaction between the light and the whitening agent, breaking down and dispersing the yellow and stained deposits, revealing the natural whiteness of the inner tooth structure.

Step 6 – Post-whitening oral hygiene cleaning

The dentist will thoroughly remove all traces of the whitening gel containing the dislodged deposits from the tooth surface. Subsequently, another round of oral hygiene cleaning will be performed. At the end of this process, your teeth will be elevated in shade, depending on the initial condition and desired outcome.
