| This actually works! We have been involved in bleaching techniques for teeth for over 25 years and the truth is this-most don’t work for darker adult teeth! Younger and lighter teeth will respond to most over the counter bleaching products. Crest White Strips are a good starting point. Daytime (30 to 60 minutes per day) bleach trays with a 10-18% whitening agent will work with moderately darkened teeth if worn daily for 4 to 8 weeks. For most adults these techniques, including the light or laser activated products like Zoom (which we also have in house), will not produce the desired results. What does work is Deep Bleaching! This starts with fitted bleach trays that are custom made from carefully taken molds of your teeth. The first “Activation” appointment takes 90 minutes. At this appointment your teeth are treated with activated peroxide to open up the enamel. You then take the trays home to bleach all night, every night for at least 2 weeks. The custom fitted and sealed trays allow the carbamide peroxide to release slowly and work all night. Soaking bleach “into” the tooth in this manner is what whitens darker teeth. The final “Wow” appointment is much like the first, with the addition of an etched sealer.
Periodic maintenance with an overnight application of bleach will keep your teeth bright!
I have done all of the above techniques on myself and Deep Bleach Worked! |
