Teeth Bleaching(Whitening) 

Discoloration and darkening of the teeth occurs over many years. It is a result of stains from food, drink and tobacco habits. In a matter of two weeks, it is possible to remove the years of stain.
 

Many times only the upper teeth are whitened because the lower teeth are not as visible. This makes it easy to see the results of the whitening.

 

An impression is taken of the teeth to be whitened. An appliance is made to hold the whitening agent, which is basically a oxygen-releasing gel. The gel is added to the appliance and placed over the teeth.

 

The appliance holds the gel in contact with the teeth and keeps saliva out which would dilute and wash away the agent.
The gel is applied once or twice a day for 1½ hours. This is done for 2 weeks to achieve the results. The teeth are then whitened once or twice a month to maintain the brightness.
