What happens when you use a professional whitening kit?
A professional whitening kit uses fitted trays or controlled peroxide gel after an examination of the teeth and gums.
Why do restorations stay their original colour during whitening?
Hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide breaks down stain molecules in natural tooth structure; restorations do not whiten.
What does the clinician provide for supervised whitening?
The clinician checks disease, exposed roots, and restorations, then supplies trays, gel quantity, wear times, storage instructions, and sensitivity advice.
When should you arrange an examination before whitening?
Arrange an examination before use if you have untreated disease or significant sensitivity; contact the provider for marked pain or persistent symptoms.
What should you ask about professional whitening trays?
Ask whether trays are custom fitted, which peroxide is supplied, how to manage sensitivity, and whether restorations will match.
Frequently asked questions
Can a kit whiten crowns?
No. Crowns and other restorations do not respond like natural enamel.
Why use custom trays?
They are shaped to the teeth and help control where gel sits during use.
