Almost everyone considers whitening their teeth at some time throughout their lives, with stains easily caused by coffee, smoking, and red wine. Some people choose to whiten their teeth using store-bought whiteners or even homemade remedies. However, while some of these methods claim to whiten teeth in as little as 3 minutes, some of them are known to cause permanent damage to your enamel and increase tooth sensitivity.
While professional teeth whitening may take a little longer, it comes with the benefit of longer-lasting results due to professional-grade gels and equipment. In the end, you’ll be left with pearly whites and minimal teeth sensitivity. In this blog, we’ll be answering the common question: "How long does professional teeth whitening take?"
Understanding The Professional Teeth Whitening Process
At Watagan Dental, our teeth whitening clinic prides itself on offering professional teeth whitening services that cater to your busy lifestyle. Our expert teeth whitening professionals carry out the process, helping you achieve whitened teeth as safely as possible in just 1 – 2 weeks.
When you have your teeth professionally whitened, there are several key steps that ensure you achieve the best possible result:
Initial Consultation: We’ll conduct a dental check-up, assess your oral health, and discuss your desired results.
Preparation: We’ll thoroughly clean your teeth to remove plaque and any stains sitting on the surface.
Custom Tray Fitting: We’ll do a 3D scan of your teeth to create custom fitted trays in which you’ll apply your whitening agent for an even application.
Apply Your Whitening Agent: We’ll show you how to use the whitening agent and tray at home to make sure you're comfortable with the procedure.
Whiten Your Teeth At Home: Whiten at your own pace, in your own space! Apply the whitening gel and let it sit for up to 45 minutes a day, depending on your desired results.
Post-Treatment Care: Maintain the perfect shade for your smile with our post-care guidelines. With regular 6-month dental check-ups, we’ll give you a complimentary tube of gel for free!
At-Home Teeth Whitening Kits: How Long Does It Take To Whiten Teeth?
With our prescribed teeth whitening kits, you'll wear your custom-fitted tray filled with professional-grade whitening gel for only 45 minutes a day, for up to two weeks, depending on your desired look. You may not see an instant change, but you'll notice your teeth getting progressively whiter each day!
This gradual approach can help maintain whiteness longer as it allows the teeth to adjust to the whitening process. It’s also a great way to whiten without as much tooth sensitivity compared to other store-bought methods. However, maintaining that brightness involves a commitment to good oral hygiene, lifestyle adjustments, and possibly periodic touch-ups.
Factors That Can Affect How Long It Takes To Whiten Teeth
The amount of time it takes to whiten teeth professionally can vary from person to person based on factors like how often you use the trays and the initial condition of your teeth. Some more elements that can influence how long the professional teeth whitening process takes include:
Initial Stain Level: The more stained or discoloured your teeth are, the longer it may take to achieve the desired shade.
Your Desired Shade: If you're aiming for a dramatic change, you might need to use the kit for an extended period or for additional sessions.
Tooth Sensitivity: We tailor the treatment intensity to your comfort level, which can affect the overall time. If your teeth are sensitive, you might need to use the gel for shorter sessions or less frequently.
Consistency: The more consistent you are with the kit as directed, the quicker and more effective the results will be.
