Whitening
T
ooth whitening is a process that brightens teeth that are discolored or stained.
There are two types of whitening. There is in-office chairside whitening and at home whitening with custom trays or strips.
In our office we use the Zoom Chairside Whitening Procedure, for in office chairside whitening. We apply the whitening material to your teeth for one hour. This will usually produce the brightness that you are looking for.
We always provide patients with a home treatment kit containing custom-fitted trays so that they may apply a touch up every six months or so.
With home whitening we construct upper and lower custom-fit trays for your teeth. We then provide you with whitening product, which is used daily for one hour. Some patients need only whiten for three days, but more severe cases may need up to six weeks to achieve the desired result.
The advantage to in-office whitening is your results can be attained immediately. Home whitening will give you the same results, however it takes a longer period of time.
