Tooth Whitening
Advanced teeth whitening technology has enabled dentists to whiten teeth without adversely affecting the tooth structure.In tray whitening, an impression is taken and a custom tray is made for the patient. Then, a supply of whitening gel is given to the patient and he/she wears the tray for a few hours each day (techniques differ) for a period of time until an acceptable result is achieved.
Sensitivity of the teeth is a normal side-effect of this whitening method and is almost always transitional. On the other hand, in-office whitening is the most efficient means of whitening. There are a number of different types used, but the process is very similar for these methods; you can have your teeth whitened in one session and achieve significant results. Dr. Hyder can give you more detailed information and help you decide which method is more suitable for you and your teeth.
