Options for tooth whitening
Depending
on the bleaching treatment selected, some are performed in the
dental office using an in-office bleaching system such as laser
bleaching. These methods lighten teeth instantly.
The same results may be obtained through
dentist-unsupervised at-home bleaching, but take longer to achieve.
Some bleaching systems, which bleach your teeth while you sleep,
work in 10 to 14 days (or more accurately nights)! Others bleach
your teeth from two to four hours a day requiring three to six weeks
to complete.
Also it's important to know that
certain types of stain respond better to different types of
whitening
materials. In such cases, your
dentist may recommend one method over the
other.
