Preparing for Your First Teeth Whitening Appointment
To prepare for your teeth whitening session, we recommend avoiding certain foods and drinks, like coffee and red wine, in the days leading up to your appointment. It’s also important to communicate with us about any dental sensitivity or concerns you might have. Lastly, please arrive with clean teeth to ensure the best results. Simple steps like this can help enhance your experience.

When you arrive at our North Providence location, you'll be greeted by our friendly staff who will make sure you feel at home. First, we’ll conduct a quick assessment of your teeth. Then, you'll lie back in a comfortable chair while we apply the whitening gel. You may feel a cool sensation, which is completely normal. The session typically lasts about 60 minutes, including a few relaxing breaks.
