Daily brushing and flossing (and even using tooth whitening toothpastes) are often not enough to remove deep-set stains and yellowing. Professional whitening can lead to dramatic results in a short period of time.
In Office Bleaching typically requires one office visit. A protective gel is placed over the gums to protect them from the teeth bleaching process. A bleaching agent containing carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide is applied to the teeth, and a specialized light is then used to activate the whitening agent. This is the fastest way to achieve results.
At home bleaching allows the patient to whiten teeth from the comfort of their own home. First an impression of your teeth is taken and sent to a dental lab to fabricate custom fitted whitening trays. Once the trays are made we ensure proper fitment and provide the whitening gel with instructions to use at your convenience at home. Typically 30 minutes per day for 7-10 days is needed for results.
