Kinds of Teeth Whitening
In-Office Whitening
Our in-office whitening uses a peroxide-based product with a high-intensity light or laser. We apply a 15-35% carbamide peroxide gel several times, rinsing and reapplying. This process can lighten teeth up to eight shades in less than an hour.
Custom Take-Home Whitening Trays
Take-home systems use similar peroxide concentrations but often include flavoring or fluoride. We create custom-fit trays in our office and provide gel and instructions. Wearing the trays for up to 2 hours daily can achieve similar results to in-office treatments in about two weeks.
Both options are safe under dental supervision. The best choice depends on your goals for your teeth.
