If you are having teeth whitening, you will need to make several visits to the dental surgery over couple of months. The dentist will take an impression of your teeth to make a mouth guard and will instruct you on how to use it with a bleaching gel. Using your mouth guard at home, you will regularly apply the gel for a specified period of time over two to four weeks. Some whitening gels can be left on for up to eight hours at a time. This shortens the treatment period to one week.
Another type of teeth whitening system that a dentist can provide is called the laser whitening, which is also called power whitening. This is where a bleaching product is applied onto your teeth and then a laser is shone on them to activate the whitening. laser whitening takes about an hour.
Any Tooth Booth dentist can whiten teeth provided they are registered with the general dental council. Registered dental therapists and dental hygienists can also carry out teeth whitening on the prescription of a dentist. You should only go to a registered dental professional for teeth whitening because whitening by people who aren’t qualified , is illegal. Home kits also carry risks.
