Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a popular procedure to brighten your smile by removing stains and discoloration. There are primarily two methods: in-chair whitening and at-home whitening kits.
In-chair whitening involves applying a high-concentration peroxide gel to the teeth after protecting the gums with a shield. The process typically takes about an hour and can significantly lighten the teeth in a single visit.
At-home whitening kits consist of custom-made trays and a lower-concentration bleaching gel. You fill the trays with gel and wear them for a prescribed period each day or overnight, usually for a couple of weeks.
Your dentist will advise on the best method based for your specific dental needs, the level of whitening desired, and personal preferences. Some considerations include the natural colour of your teeth, the presence of restorations, and your overall oral health.
