Tooth Whitening Options
Depending
on the
whitening treatment selected, some are performed in the dental
office using an in-office whitening system.
These methods lighten teeth instantly.
The same results may be
obtained more economically through dentist-supervised at-home whitening,
but take longer to achieve. Some whitening 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.
