We do offer several types of tooth whitening here at the practice. I would say, you know, there’s one, is basically a take-home type situation where you come in and we make some custom trays for you and we teach you how to use it. We teach you how to apply the bleach and to do that at home. It usually consists of bleaching, you know, somewhere between 20, 30 minutes a day for, I always say about 7 to 14 days. Everybody’s a little bit different in the result they get and how quickly they get it. But that’s usually a very good option for most people.
The other option we have is zoom whitening, or you might hear it as laser bleaching or something like that. That is an in-office procedure where you come in, we paint some bleach on your teeth. We sort of isolate the area, paint some bleach on your teeth, and then we shine a light on there for probably about 45 minutes or so. We may have to do several rounds of that, but that’s more of an instant gratification. You come in the office, you leave, everything is a lot whiter and brighter.
So we do offer those two things. A little bit different than your take-home type situation because it’s a lot stronger. The concentration is stronger. So you’re going to get a much better result than you will with some of the take-home type situations. And it’s also nice to do it here because we can help you through sensitivity. We can guide you through the process and help you so you don’t do any damage to your gums or anything like that. So it’s nice to come here and let us help you out with that.
