There are many different options for teeth bleaching. Many people shy at the use of the word bleaching but that is simply how serious tooth whitening is done. Most whitening methods use hydrogen peroxide to bleach the teeth whiter. Different whitening systems apply that gel differently. Home whitening kits force the gel into the teeth with a custom made whitening tray while office based systems used a light activated formula.

         If you have yellow teeth or stained teeth and would like a more attractive smile then teeth bleaching can help you. If you have tried home whitening with over the counter products and have decided that it's not enough for you then it is a good idea to schedule a cosmetic consultation with a cosmetic dentist to see what can be done. Some tooth stains are much more difficult than others to get rid of and may require other forms of treatment.

         Teeth bleaching can be done at the office or at home. There are professional home whitening kits that use a custom formed whitening tray to force the whitening gel into the teeth. Office based whitening systems use a heat activated formula nd a special curing lamp to activate the gel. It takes 3 nights with most home systems and around an hour with most office based systems. There are other ways to get white teeth besides bleaching.
