Tooth Whitening Options
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.
