So many people have so many questions about whitening.
I consider getting whitening done like a haircut. Your teeth will yellow over time so just get it done once a year or every other year.

There’s two kinds of whitening:

• The in office one is one in which you are paying for the convenience of getting it done over the course of 1-1 1/2 hours. It’s a stronger gel, so your teeth should be conditioned to not be sensitive
• Whitening trays, which you can get to keep forever, and consistently come to us for the whitening gel

Nowadays we provide a schedule for sensitivity so that your whitening experience is as painless in terms of sensitivity as possible.

We customize the treatment for you.

• If you are more sensitive we give you an overnight or lower concentration gel
• If you are not so sensitive, then a faster more concentrated gel works

There are sensitivity gels that you can use with your whitening trays and alternate between the whitening gel and sensitivity gel. This is effective for a lot of people who suffer from sensitive and still want to get their teeth whitening.

Let’s say however you are sensitive, then we can cu.
The whole point getting your tooth exposed to the whitening gel, and letting the chemistry penetrate your tooth and start whitening it. The longer the tooth is exposed to the whitening, over time you will definitely feel the results.

So it’s definitely a very customizable service. Sometimes for patients for darker teeth I even end up prescribing both:

• They get the in office treatment as a starter
• And then a booster pack with the whitening trays and gel

This way we can ensure that the tooth do whiten and the patient is happy with the whitening treatment.

I also get over questions about over the counter whitening:

• They do work
• However the results can appear blotchy. You get uneven whitening

When you get professional whitening done, the quality of the gel makes a difference:

• The gel is viscous enough so it sticks evenly to the tooth
• This gives uniform and equal exposure of the gel over your teeth makes a difference
• The ability to control sensitivity is only pretty much managed with professional whitening
• And also the irritation with the gums. These are managed with professional whitening

I have seen over the counter whitening work – but the results can sometimes be blotchy and inconsistent.

So that’s why definitely, the in office whitening or the take home whitening trays is the way to go.
