Teeth Whitening

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

Teeth whitening is a non-invasive treatment for improving the appearance of your teeth! Treatment typically takes anywhere from 30 minutes to 90 minutes depending on the method used. In-office whitening generally requires fewer treatments to achieve significantly brighter teeth, whereas at-home whitening solutions may take a few weeks of ongoing treatment to brighten your smile to your desired shade. Your dentist can discuss the different options available for whitening your teeth both in-office and at home and help you choose the best option for your needs!

Is Teeth Whitening Safe?

With guidance from your dentist, whitening your teeth at home and in the office is extremely safe! Many at-home products can gradually boost your smile results including whitening toothpaste and rinses. Your dentist can evaluate your teeth, help you determine your whitening goals, and help you choose the perfect tooth whitening method for your needs! It's best to whiten your teeth with supervision from your dentist because over-whitening your teeth or whitening your teeth when you have underlying oral health issues can cause problems.
