I know that there are many different ways to whiten and brighten teeth but I am still paranoid and was wondering if it is safe? I know many people bleach their teeth but it still worries me. How does the teeth bleaching process work and how safe is it. Should I be bleaching my teeth?

Great question.
 
We have 3 different bleaching options at our office. There are 2 options done in office, and a take home option. Our in office treatments offer more rapid results as the gel penetrates into the enamel faster. The bleach solution is applied for approximately 20 minutes and then rinsed off and reapplied. One of our in office treatment uses a bleach that is activated by a laser. The take home option is as effective over a longer period of time.  For our take home bleaching, we take a mold of your teeth and create custom trays that are fitted exactly. You apply a minimal amount of bleach into the trays for approximately 1 hour per day for a week to ten days.
 
Remember, bleaching is not for everyone. Contact us to book an appointment to see if you are a candidate.

great answer, i was wondering the same thing. I was really wanting to know if teeth whitening was safe to do, some people have told me that it makes teeth extra sensitive in the long run.
