Teeth whitening

There are 2 methods to choose from

1) In Office: It is a light enhanced technique done in clinic. It saves lots of time for the patient since the result is instant. Excellent option for busy people who want the result same day.

2) At home: The patient put the whitening gel himself at home in a pre- fabricated customized trays.It takes up to 21 days to get the final result.

Before doing any of them ,Dentist must check your teeth to observe any decays,stains and exposed dentin. This determines if there is potential sensitivity,treatment duration and expected result.

The procedure for:
1) In office: A whitening gel is applied to your teeth .Photos  of before situation are taken to compare the effectiveness after the treatment. Gum and lips are protected  and a coat of hydrogen peroxide is applied on teeth for 20 minutes to be removed for another coat since hydrogen peroxide gets deactivated in max 30 mins. Up to 4 coats can be applied depending on each situation.
2) At home: Two whitening trays are delivered to the patient for use at home. A whitening gel is given to be applied home.The whitening gel  can be applied for 30 minutes  every night before bedtime up to 21 days.

Now to get the best result, I use my own protocol in my practice. Most of the time the two techniques are recommended. I always ask the patient to keep the at home trays for later touch ups(maintenance). Touch ups differ from case to case.It could be every 6 months or every one year. It depends on each patient situation and life style.
