​
We basically perform our teeth whitening session in about 5 easy steps:
*We check the current shade of your teeth
*We prep you by applying cheek rectractor, gum barrier, and vitamin E oil for your lips
*Whitening gel is then applied to each tooth
*The curing LED light is used to speed up the whitening process
*Whitening session will be done in 20 minute intervals. After every 20 mins, gel will be reapplied until your session is over. So if
