Home Whitening System

There is little wonder why home teeth whitening is such big business today. Just as people know that grass should be green and the sky should be blue, people also know that teeth should be white. If for whatever reason people's teeth were to change color, as is often the case, it is a natural reaction to what to return teeth to a pearly white condition.

To that end, there are many different teeth whitening products that are readily available; however, most of them will yield little in terms of promised results. While many people are desperate for a quality tooth whitener, these home products are often wasted money.

There are two types of bleaching procedures. Bleaching may be done completely in the dental office (known as “chairside bleaching”) or a system may be dispensed by the dentist to use at home (called “in-home bleaching”). With in-home bleaching, the dentist makes an impression for a model of the teeth, fabricates a custom-fitted tray and prescribes a bleaching agent that comes in the form of a bleaching gel. The gel is placed in the custom-fitted tray and worn up to two hours daily or at night for about two weeks.

The amount of time the custom-fitted tray is worn and the duration may vary according to a person’s individual need and the recommendations of the dentist. The dentist will monitor the entire process of in-home bleaching to assure its effectiveness and safety.
