In-office teeth whitening uses the strongest type of peroxide gel and a special light to help whiten teeth up to eight shades in just one visit. The dentist will apply the gel to your teeth and shine the light on your teeth to activate the bleaching agent. The entire procedure only takes about an hour!
In-home teeth whitening is a do-it-yourself treatment that you can perform in the comfort of your own home. Your dentist will send you home with a custom-fitted mouth tray and whitening gel. You will apply the gel to the trays and wear them at night or for a few hours during the day. You will repeat this process until you reach your desired results.
