Tooth whitening procedures may be broadly divided into 2 categories. The more common and readily available method is the DIY, take home kit. Several brands of take-home DIY bleaching kits are available OTC at many pharmacies. They can even be ordered online or through TV ads. These fully DIY kits are economical and relatively safe but they generally don't work for just about everybody.
In our clinic, we offered our patients this 9.5% hydrogen peroxide gels which we routinely use nowadays. This is even more powerful than the normal whitening gels.
By using 9.5% hydrogen peroxide gel, full whitening potential can be realised after just 9 applications. However, it is important to note that in order for the gel to work optimally, the dentist has to issue you with a custom-made bleaching tray.
He would first take an impression of the your mouth and make impression models from them. The customised plastic bleaching trays have to be vacuum formed and trimmed. This customised bleaching tray will be issued to you along with several syringes of bleaching gel. You will be instructed on how to syringe the gel into the appropriate reservoirs and then wear them over your teeth for at least a couple of hours every day.
With the newest fast-acting gels, 9 applications over 4.5 days are all it takes to whiten your teeth.
