The process includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Consultation:<\/strong> Your dentist evaluates your teeth and discusses your whitening goals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Preparation:<\/strong> A protective barrier is placed on your gums to prevent irritation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Application:<\/strong> A high-concentration whitening gel (usually containing hydrogen peroxide) is applied to your teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Activation:<\/strong> A special light or laser may be used to enhance the whitening process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Results:<\/strong> In just one session, teeth can become <strong>several shades whiter<\/strong>, with results lasting <strong>6 months to 2 years<\/strong> with proper care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-take-home-whitening-kits-provided-by-your-dentist\"><strong>2.
