How is Tooth Whitening Done?
Take Home Tray Whitening-- Impressions are recorded of your teeth so that we can mold custom whitening trays. These can usually be ready in as little a one day! The trays hold a specialized gel that will lighten discoloration underlying tooth enamel. The trays should be worn for 2 hours per day or overnight for convenience. Tray whitening usually takes 2-4 weeks to achieve the desired result.
To ensure lasting results we suggest limiting liquids that can stain teeth, such as coffee or wine, while whitening. A temporary side effect of tooth whitening in some people is tooth sensitivity. This sensitivity is reversible and we have many different treatment options to ensure that sensitivity will be kept to a minimum.
