Tooth Bleaching

What are the different types of whitening procedures?

There are 2 main tooth whitening options:-

  • In-Office:  In-office bleaching produces noticeable results in a short period of time. After gums have been protected with a liquid dam, peroxide gel is applied to the teeth. Stubborn stains may necessitate another session.
  • Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kits: Home kits use lower concentrations of peroxide gel and show results after prolonged use. They are also used as maintenance therapy for “In office bleaching”.
