4. We place cheek retractors (Optragate) to help keep the lips and cheeks away.

5. We dry the teeth and apply a Gingival Barrier to both the upper and lower teeth along the gum line to isolate and protect the gums and keep them clean. We sometimes may place extra isolation using cotton rolls under the top and bottom lip and in the sulcus area.

6. We use a special curing light in a fanning motion for 10-20 seconds until the Gingival Barrier is set and hardened.

7. We apply the SDI Pola Office + whitening gel onto the front 10-12 teeth, and spread it out evenly with a small brush

8. We turn on the SDI Pola Whitening Light to optimise and activate the gel.

9. We leave the gel on for a minimum of 8 minutes. If required, we may leave the gel on for up to 15 mins per application to optimise results.

10. After the 8-15minutes, we remove the gel with gauze and cotton rolls

11. We repeat steps 7-9 three to four times to assist reaching a desired result for teeth whitening.

12. After the last application, we suction and wash the gel off. And we remove cotton rolls, gauze, gingival barrier

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) for Teeth Whitening

Do charcoal toothpastes whiten the teeth?

Toothpastes that contain charcoal have increased in popularity in recent years and some companies promote these products as beneficial for oral health and teeth whitening.
