Professional Teeth Whitening

Professional Teeth Whitening In Bradford, ON

Teeth whitening is a common cosmetic dentistry procedure that is safe for most patients. It is important to understand that a whiter smile is not necessary for oral health if teeth and gums are kept clean and healthy. However, having a whiter smile has been shown to improve confidence for some patients.

When it comes to whitening your teeth to achieve a stunning smile and a bright smile, there are two options. In-office whitening is the most popular option, and take-home whitening is the other option. Learn more about both options for your needs and lifestyle.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

In-office teeth whitening is performed by your dental professional. This option uses whitening gel agents that are in a high concentration compared to the whitening agents used in take-home whitening treatments. The high strength of the in-office whitening agents results in faster results in as little as one or two visits to your dental office. In-office whitening is suited for patients who want quick results. The use of these high concentrations must be administered and supervised by a dental professional.

Take-Home Whitening

Take-home whitening treatment uses many of the same whitening agents found in in-office whitening treatment. However, take-home whitening agents are in lower concentrations so that they can be used safely at home. This type of whitening treatment is suited when time is not a factor. It may take one to two weeks to achieve the desired results using take-home whitening. Patients who want take-home whitening will require custom-made whitening trays to use the whitening gels safely.
