Up to 8 Shades Whiter Teeth in 1 Hour
What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that aims to lighten the colour of the teeth and remove stains and discolouration. It is a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of your smile and can be done in a variety of ways.
2 common methods of teeth whitening
Professional in-office whitening: This method is performed by a dentist in the office and typically involves the use of a stronger whitening agent, such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. The whitening agent is applied to the teeth and then activated with a special light.
The light helps to break down the whitening agent and penetrate the enamel of the teeth, allowing it to effectively remove stains and discolouration. The procedure typically takes about an hour to complete and involves the use of a special whitening gel and a specially designed light.
At-home kits: These kits are available over-the-counter and can be used at home. They typically include a tray that is filled with a whitening gel and worn for a set amount of time each day.
It’s important to note that whitening your teeth is not a one-time procedure and will require maintenance to maintain the whiteness of your teeth. Also, whitening may not work for all teeth discolourations, and it’s best to consult with your dentist to see if this is the right option for you.
