Tooth whitening is a cosmetic procedure for lightening the colour of teeth. The most popular technique is home bleaching using carbamide peroxide or Hydrogen Peroxide gel applied in custom-made 'trays'.You will usually need to wear these trays loaded with the gel for about 45 mins to 1hr each day, or at night, for at least 5 consecutive days or up to 2weeks as prescribed by your dentist.
Another technique is power whitening.This involves a stronger gel which is applied to your teeth in the treatment room. Power whitening can give you a dramatic improvement in tooth colour at the first visit although patients may need a follow up treatment. It is possible to combine the two techniques by using power whitening as an initial boost followed by home treatment to intensify the effects.
