The process of bleaching teeth involves a professional strength bleaching gel, which is activated by a specifically designed light. When the gel is activated, it whitens your teeth by removing some of the stain that has become lodged in the microscopic pores in your teeth. It does not harm the tooth. Some people with pre-existing dental conditions may experience some temporary sensitivity to temperature. A comprehensive exam and evaluation are necessary prior to any bleaching procedure to make sure you are a good candidate for bleaching.
