Our dental office in Greenville, NC provides both whitening options for our patients.
At home whitening requires an initial appointment to take impressions for bleaching trays and a follow-up appointment to deliver trays and to give you instructions on what to do for best results. This method of bleaching requires 2 to 3 weeks to see a difference in shade and is the least expensive.
In-office whitening requires a combination of visits. Your first visit is approximately 1 1/2 hours and subsequent appointment about 1 hour. This system uses a more powerful bleaching compound and results are immediately noticeable. In- office whitening is more expensive , but better for severe stains.
