Procedure Overview:
There are two main methods of whitening teeth: home and office bleachings. Home bleaching is a safe and effective way to whiten the colour of one’s teeth. First, a mold of the teeth is taken to create bleaching trays that custom-fit into the mouth. The trays are then inserted into the patient’s mouth, usually for 30-45 minutes or overnight, depending on the desired degree of whiteness. Most treatment takes two weeks, but more time may be required in the event of severely stained or discoloured teeth
Another option for bleaching is office bleaching.
Whitening can get your smile looking its best. You should look for a whitening procedure that is:
- Fast and convenient
- Long-lasting
- Low sensitivity
- Proven to be safe and effective
- Performed by a dental professional
