Teeth whitening is one of the safest, non-invasive procedures in dentistry as long as it is be carried out by a registered and trained dental professional.
Broadly speaking, there are 3 kinds of teeth whitening. There is teeth whitening pen/strips, teeth whitening custom trays, and in-office teeth whitening. In-office whitening has a surgical and custom tray component to it.
Whitening Pen/Strips are the least expensive but take the longest time (6 months) and may not deliver the best result possible.
Custom made whitening trays fit your teeth like a like a glove. You would wear them everyday for an hour everyday for 4-6 weeks.
In-house treatment is where your dentist would apply a higher concentration of whitening gel onto your teeth for atleast 1 hour to helps boost and enhance the effects of the home whitening. This protocol of whitening will allow your teeth to become whiter at a faster rate and may also give you a slighter whiter result overall. The in-house treatment also includes the custom tray whitening protocol described above that you can take home to prolong the whitening effect for years.
All three options contain a chemical called peroxide in different concentrations. The concentration of peroxide will determine the price and speed of the treatment.
This depends on many factors such as which method you choose, your diet, and the porosity of your enamel. We will be able to give you an answer before the treatment.
This will depend on your diet and which method of whitening you choose and how consistently you "top-up." Top-up refers to applying the at home teeth whitening via custom tray or pen/stripe. We have seen the whitening effect last for years for some patients that top-up regularly.
