Dentistry Explained Episode 1003 | BTS of a teeth whitening procedure. It takes about 60-90 minutes in the office. Results vary. Nice result here! Creator credit: @Dokter Gigi Tri Putra #dentist #teethwhitening #greenscreenvideo

This is what it can look like if you're ever getting a professional teeth whitening procedure. You can see that this provider did a really nice job of cleaning off any residual plaque and tartar before starting because teeth white and best when they're clean. The screen stuff that they're putting around is called a liquid dam. It is nice and gel-like and it'll go flow right around the teeth so that there is a barrier between where the tooth is and where the gums are. That way when we use the whitening solution, it doesn't directly touch the gums because it can have a little chemical burn effect on the gums if it has too much exposure to gum tissue. Now this looks like it's probably opalescence teeth whitening and here they just waited a couple of minutes, probably around 8 to 15 minutes and they're removing the first layer of whitening solution so that they can refresh it and put another layer of whitening solution. They'll do a few rounds of this and then voila the teeth are much brighter and they'll remove the rubber dam and you can see what a big difference the teeth whitening can do for you.
