Teeth Whitening

Tooth bleaching, also known as tooth whitening, is a common procedure in general dentistry but most especially in the field of cosmetic dentistry. Bleaching is a process by which teeth are whitened using peroxidase-based compounds to improve their color.

Home Tooth Bleaching

At-home whitening involves purchasing a thin mouthguard or strip that holds a relatively low concentration of oxidizing agent next to the teeth for as long as several hours a day for a period of 5 to 14 days. This is known as take-home or over-the-counter bleaching. Results can vary, depending on which application is chosen. We can provide this kit for home use (not to be confused with over-the-counter bleaching products available in your local drugstore).

Tooth Bleaching

Whitening is potentially better at a dentist because the strip or mouth-guard does not completely conform to the shape of the teeth, sometimes leaving the tips of the teeth (near the gumline) unbleached. The bleaching agent is typically less than 10% hydrogen peroxide equivalent so irritation to the soft tissue around teeth is minimized. Dentists, as well as some dental laboratories, can fabricate custom fitted whitening trays that will greatly improve the results you can achieve with an “at home” whitening method.
