How is Dental Bleaching done?
For take-home bleaching, an impression is taken to make a specialized mouth guard or stent to hold the bleach against the teeth. The material is used each night for about 1-2 hours for a week or two, after which significant whitening will occur.
For in-office bleaching, you will attain the whitest, most brilliant smile in about two hours. All the work is done by Dr. Smith and his staff while you relax and await the beautiful results. In some cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance, bleaching technology offers improvements in yellowing, aging or stained teeth. For very severely stained teeth, crowns or veneers may be more appropriate.
Considerations
Over-the-counter bleaching agents are available at drugstores and pharmacies. However, since these products can harm the gums and teeth, it’s better to use products that our practice recommends.
