While you can whiten your teeth at home, you’ll get whiter teeth faster and safer if you have teeth whitening done professionally.

Tooth whitening uses bleach like hydrogen peroxide, or carbamide to breach the surface of the teeth. Dentists use stronger levels of bleach than the over-the-counter methods. The longer you keep a tooth whitening product on your teeth, the whiter they become. The higher the level of bleaching agent in your tooth whitener, the shorter the amount of time it should be left on your teeth.

Using too much gel or whitener on your teeth; or using a whitener for too long of a time can cause tooth sensitivity and other types of damage to your teeth. A professional tooth whitening process can take from 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the method used. To get the ultimate level of whitening for your teeth without causing harm to your tooth enamel, please trust your pearly white teeth to the experts.
