The short answer
Chairside whitening uses peroxide gel on tooth surfaces to break down stain molecules during a controlled dental appointment.
What is the direct answer?
What does this question mean?
The dentist checks enamel, exposed dentine, cavities, gums, and restorations first because fillings, crowns, and veneers do not whiten like natural teeth.
What can you do next?
The dentist isolates the gums, applies the prescribed gel, monitors the treatment, and discusses sensitivity and restoration shade.
When should you seek dental care?
Arrange an examination for toothache, cavities, bleeding gums, or marked sensitivity before whitening.
What should you ask the dentist?
Ask which gel and isolation method will be used, and whether existing restorations may look mismatched afterward.
Frequently asked questions
