More and more people are choosing to get their teeth whitened to improve their smile. Many DIY or store-bought options exist, but most don’t do your teeth justice. The best whitening option is getting it done professionally, but what does that entail? In this blog, we’ll talk all about professional teeth whitening and the different procedures you can choose from.

Professional Chairside Bleaching

We recommend professional in-office bleaching for the best teeth-whitening results. Chairside bleaching is the easiest and most effective form of teeth whitening available. There are many benefits to choosing this option, including:

  • Convenience: The procedure is only 90 minutes and requires no sedation. After a coating gel is applied to the soft tissue, the bleach is applied until you get your desired results. After about 90 minutes, you’re good to go!
  • Painless: The procedure is entirely pain-free. 
  • Professional quality: This procedure is done by professionals, so you can trust that the results will turn out exactly how you want them. The whitening will be evenly coated with guaranteed results.

Professional At-Home Whitening System 

If you prefer at-home treatment but still want professional results, we can help with that, too! The at-home whitening treatment consists of trays that are custom-fitted to your mouth. Put these trays on with professional gel every night as part of your nightly routine. After about two weeks, your teeth will be white! 

Pros

  • Results will be professional grade with consistent, nightly application. 
  • Ideal for those who don’t have time for the chairside bleaching.
  • The trays do not disrupt your daily routine; you only put them on at night.

Cons:

  • The treatment takes 1-2 weeks nightly to take full effect.
  • You can’t skip any nights.
  • Wearing the trays while you sleep can be an inconvenience for some.
