During a UV-whitening session, the whitening gel is applied directly to the teeth after the gums and soft tissues have been protected. The light is then turned on to activate the whitening gel. The peroxide in the gel is broken down, rapidly whitening teeth. Light-activated whitening treatments are safe and effective options for treating stained and discolored teeth and are considered among the fastest bleaching methods.
There are several benefits to choosing UV whitening. UV teeth whitening is extremely effective at removing most extrinsic, or external, stains. Most people experience no side effects although some minor sensitivity can occur for a few days after treatment. You can expect dramatically whiter teeth in about an hour, and the results are immediately visible and long-lasting.
