An original reading is evaluated and then agreed with the client which is recorded on the patient notes

Cheek retractors are then fitted that exposes the area around teeth and also helps in keeping the cheeks and lips at a safe distance from the teeth

Lips are covered with Vaseline to make them moist. It also plays the role of a barrier that protects the lips from the whitening gel

The gums are safeguarded by utilizing a flowing material that is cured with ultra violet rays which in turn protects the teeth gum

The gel meant for whitening is then applied to the uppermost and lower teeth and the LED rays is then placed near the mouth for accelerating gel and timer is adjusted to ten minutes

Once the ten minutes are over, the gel for whitening is removed from the teeth

Fourth and fifth steps are again continued

After three to four minutes of treatment, the flowing composite is easily eradicated from over the gums

The dentist removes the cheek retractors and the patient is given water for rinsing till all the traces of whitening gel is removed

The clients final shade s agreed and recorded on the patients notes

Instructions of aftercare are offered to the customers along with the phone number for clearing any doubts with the dentist

The Working of the Treatment

The surfaces, also known as enamel of the teeth consists of various minute pores and with several organic compounds from various things like tobacco, food and drink get into the teeth pores and makes an entry into the dentine that causes staining of teeth. The gel for whitening makes the teeth white by supplying oxygen into layer of the teeth known as dentine through enamel which plays the role of a window. After this, the oxygen breaks the organic compounds that are collected in that specific layer of the mouth into small light particles which reflect light in a better way therefore lightening the color of teeth.

LED lights used in LED teeth whitening accelerate the whole procedure by forcing large amount of oxygen into dentine. Results could be regarded as affected and patients might set up nearly 14 different shades. The procedure works for a total of twenty four hours once the treatment gets completed so there are high chances that you might not see result instantly. Therefore, patients are asked to stay away from drinking or eating any food items that can cause stains on teeth for about twenty four hours.
