What is Involved in Having Your Teeth Whitened?
Dr. Scala is highly trained and experienced when it comes to applying her professional teeth whitening treatment in the office.
Prior to treatment, there will be a consultation where the dentist will outline the exact procedure. On treatment day, a deep cleaning (prophylaxis) will be performed to rid the teeth of any debris and plaque. The next steps of a professional teeth whitening procedure are:
· Cheek retractors will be placed to expose the entire surface of the teeth.
· The gums will be painted or covered to reduce sensitivity.
· The dentist will apply the whitening gel to the teeth.

The special whitening gel contains protective ingredients to preserve the health of your teeth. In an only hour or less, you will have a smile that is several shades lighter.
