Teeth whitening is performed to make your teeth look whiter. Teeth whitening can be achieved at home or with an in-office treatment. Both treatments will be done using a solution of hydrogen peroxide, which helps remove deep stains from tooth structure, therefore lighting the shade of your teeth.
Before deciding to have teeth whitening treatments, you must have a dental exam to make sure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for whitening treatment. If you have dental restorations such as veneers, crowns, or bridges, whitening treatment may affect them, and your dentist will explain the benefits and disadvantages that may arise.
The in-office whitening treatment is performed in one appointment. The at home treatment is performed in two visits, as it requires the fabrication of a custom tray that will be worn temporarily until you achieve your desired results.
