How Does Professional Teeth Whitening Work?

Think of whitening gel as a deep cleaner for your enamel. It uses peroxide-based agents that reach below the surface to break apart stubborn stains. With your dentist guiding the process, whitening is not only more powerful than store-bought options but also safer for your enamel and gums.

How Teeth Whitening Works at Posh Dental

In the office, our team applies a professional-grade gel to your teeth. A special light may be used to accelerate the results. For patients who prefer flexibility, we also design custom take-home trays. These let you whiten gradually in the comfort of your home, while still benefiting from professional oversight and a perfect fit.

Preparation & Aftercare

• Preparation: Arrive with freshly brushed and flossed teeth. If you’ve recently had dental work, ask our team about the best timing.
• Aftercare: For 24–48 hours, avoid stain-causing foods and drinks such as coffee, red wine, and berries. If sensitivity occurs, switch to a toothpaste formulated for sensitive teeth. Touch-up sessions every year or so will keep your smile consistently radiant.
