FAQ's About In-chair Teeth Whitening
How does in-chair teeth whitening work?
Here’s what to expect during the professional teeth whitening process:
- Your dentist will check your current shade and with your consent, take a photo for you to compare the outcome to later.
- Your teeth will be cleaned to remove plaque and tartar.
- A protective rubber sheet or gel and cheek retractor will then be inserted into your mouth to prevent the bleaching gel from touching your gums, cheeks, tongue, and lips.
- Your dentist will apply a bleaching or whitening gel to your teeth before a blue LED lamp is used to activate the solution and accelerate whitening. The lamp’s settings can easily be adjusted to ensure comfort throughout your treatment. This is done three times within 45 minutes to ensure the best results.
- After the whitening procedure is completed, the gel will be rinsed off your teeth.
- Your dentist will apply post-treatment gel to protect your tooth enamel and reduce sensitivity.
In come cases, multiple teeth whitening sessions are needed especially if the teeth are severely stained or if the patient desires for even whiter teeth.

What are the possible risks of in-chair teeth whitening?
Like any dental treatment, in-chair teeth whitening comes with some risks. The most common side effect of in-chair teeth whitening is tooth sensitivity. This occurs when the bleaching agent comes into contact with the nerve endings in your teeth, causing a temporary tingling or stinging sensation. In most cases, tooth sensitivity is mild and lasts for less than 24 hours. However, if you experience severe pain or discomfort, you should contact your dentist immediately.
In rare cases, in-chair teeth whitening can also cause gum irritation or skin burns. If you experience any of these side effects, you should also seek medical attention right away. With that said, in-chair teeth whitening is generally safe when performed by a qualified dentist. To help minimize the risks, be sure to follow your dentist’s instructions carefully and avoid over-bleaching your teeth.
How long does an in-chair whitening procedure last?
In-chair whitening procedure may last for about an hour. The dental cleaning and placement of protective rubber sheet and gels may take 15 to 30 minutes but the exposure to the light itself may take 45 minutes.
Can I see results immediately after in-chair teeth whitening?

Why is it important for a reliable dentist to perform in-chair teeth whitening?
In-chair teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic procedure that can help to restore the natural whiteness of your teeth. However, it is important to choose a reliable dentist to perform the procedure.

In addition, a reliable dentist will be able to provide you with aftercare advice to help you maintain the results of the treatment.
