Teeth Whitening

Many products and techniques are available for patients who want to achieve a brighter smile. With so many options available, it can be difficult to choose the method that’s right for you.

The best way to begin any teeth-whitening regimen is to schedule an appointment and talk to Dr Richardson about the differences between in-office professional whitening and at-home whitening.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

The first professional option is commonly referred to as in-office whitening. This procedure is performed in a dental office. During an appointment, your dental professional will apply a whitening gel to the surface of your teeth. The entire office visit generally takes about 90 minutes and you will be able to see results immediately.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

Tray whitening is a type of professional whitening that uses custom- made trays and whitening gel only available at a dental office. The whitening gel is placed in custom-fitted trays that fit perfectly over your teeth.

As the peroxide in the gel breaks down, hydroxyradicals help whiten stained teeth. Unlike strips, this process whitens all your natural teeth and may contain ingredients intended to provide maximum comfort. At-home professional tray whitening generally takes ten to 14 days, although you may notice results in as little as three to five days.
