Tooth whitening lightens teeth and helps to remove stains and discoloration.Whitening is among the most popular cosmetic dental procedures because it can greatly improve how your teeth look. Most dentists perform tooth whitening.Whitening is not a one-time procedure.
There are two options for teeth whitening 1st is to get it done at dental clinic and 2nd at home. Out of the two you can get in-office whitening that gives faster results as it’s done with more powerful whitening gel compared to at home treatment.It usually takes 30 minutes to an hour for the treatment at our clinic and 1 to 3 appointments depending on your present shade and what you are looking to get.For in-home whitening, we take impressions of your upper and lower teeth and make custom tray to fit on your teeth. You will have to fill each mouthpiece with a whitening gel that we provide & wear for the tray for few hours every day. Majority of people get the whiteness they want within a week or two. However, few might need to wear the mouthpiece for a longer period.The bleaching effect totally depends on your eating and brushing habits. If you maintain a good oral hygiene and avoid food that cause staining then you won’t need treatment for years.
There can be some conditions where you might have to go for it in short intervals. We will be able to guide you on what is best suitable for you during the consultation.
Some patients might experience sensitivity immediately after the treatment is done. However it is subjective and vanishes automatically in few days without any medication in most of the cases
