How does Pro Touch professional whitening work?
Pro Touch is a professional whitening treatment using peroxide gel after the teeth and gums have been examined.
How does peroxide affect natural tooth stains?
Peroxide oxidizes stain molecules in natural enamel and dentin. Crowns, fillings, veneers, and bonding do not whiten like natural teeth.
What happens during a Pro Touch whitening treatment?
A clinician records shade, protects the gums, applies timed gel cycles, removes the gel, and gives aftercare instructions. Existing decay or gum disease should be treated first.
When does whitening discomfort require dental care?
Seek care for intense pain, a burn-like gum patch, swelling, or a dark single tooth that has not been diagnosed.
Which product and restoration concerns should you discuss?
Ask which peroxide product is used, how sensitivity will be managed, and how existing restorations will look after whitening.
