Different methods of teeth whitening

There are two primary methods of Teeth Whitening Ottawa; an in-office procedure or an at-home bleaching kit.

• In-office procedure - This can be one of the most effective ways to get your teeth whitened because it removes all the stains on your teeth - even ones that you can't get rid of with a home whitening kit. With this type of procedure, you can choose the level of whitening you want - and, it can complement Invisalign invisible braces, porcelain veneers, and other treatments.

• At-home bleaching kit - At-home solutions can be done through whitening strips or a custom tray. These are less expensive and you'll be able to see results in just a couple weeks. Whitening strips can be worn for about 30 minutes a day and can be purchased online or in a department store. A custom tray is the other at-home solution, and is usually created in a dentist office, then given to you to take home and wear a few hours each day. This treatment option is sometimes preferred because it doesn't damage fillings and caps, or irritate gums like many at-home strips can.
