What is involved in teeth bleaching/whitening?
Tooth whitening is actually a bleaching process that lightens discolorations of enamel. The system we promote in our office uses a mild solution applied in a custom-fitted appliance that can be worn over your teeth while you sleep. Results are usually seen after the first night. Maximum results generally occur when the process is continued for 10-14 nights. The degree of whiteness will vary from patient to patient depending on the structure of the teeth and the type of staining involved.
There are various methods of whitening teeth but the most common and fastest way to whiten teeth is by using a strong concentrated teeth bleaching gel in a mouthtray daily. This rapidly removes stains from within the tooth enamel by bleaching them out until your teeth are snow white.
