How is Tooth Bleaching done?
An impression is taken to make a specialized splints/trays to hold the bleach against the teeth. The material is used each night for about 2 hours, while the number of applications is based on how white the patient wants his/her teeth. The customary amount of times a patient uses the splints/trays is approximately 6-10 applications after which significant whitening will occur. 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.
