In-Office Bleaching usually requires only one office visit. A protective gel or a rubber shield is placed over the gums to protect the soft tissue. A bleaching agent containing carbamide peroxide is applied to the teeth, and a specialized light is then used to enhance the action of the whitening agent. This is the fastest way to achieve results.
At-Home bleaching requires an impression of the teeth to be taken to make a customized mouth guard to hold the whitening gel, containing carbamide peroxide, against the teeth. Once the mouth guard is made, it is worn for a period of time, as instructed by our office. The amount of time may vary from a couple hours a day, or all night, to up to four weeks or longer, if desired.
A brighter smile can boost confidence and help enhance your appearance. At our dental office in Sarasota, FL, we offer professional teeth whitening services designed to deliver noticeable results. Whether discoloration is caused by coffee, smoking, or everyday habits, our dentist may recommend professional whitening using a custom tray, whitening gel, and specialized light technology. Unlike whitening toothpaste, mouthwash, or whitening strips, this effective method helps protect enamel while brightening your teeth. We offer two types of whitening services and can discuss whether whitening teeth at home or having your teeth professionally whitened is right for you during a consultation or appointment in Sarasota.
