Teeth whitening has become more and more requested these days. What is known as teeth whitening actually refers to bleaching because what this treatment does is that it lighten the color of your teeth and depending of that basic color your teeth will look wighter and lighter.
In order to do so, several methods are used:
- your dentist can recommend a Home bleaching treatment
- A In Office treatment or a combined technique of both.
The Home Bleaching Technique is based on an impression taking step to make a clear tray that will act as a reservoir for the product.
The product contains either Carbamide peroxyde either hydrogen peroxyde which produce oxygen responsible for the whitening process inside the tooth structure.
The product is applied once a day for a period of half to 6 hours depending on the acting agent used.
The In Office technique acts as a Booster for the Home technique as it shows much faster results during the first session. Then a follow up with a Home technique is recommended. This Technique is faster and easier but costs more. A light is often used to enhance the action of the product.
Remenber that it's your dentist's role to choose the suitable procedure...
