With in-home bleaching, the dentist
makes an impression for a model of the teeth, fabricates a
custom-fitted tray and prescribes a bleaching agent that comes in the
form of a bleaching gel. The gel is placed in the custom-fitted tray and
worn up to two hours daily or at night for about two weeks. The amount
of time the custom-fitted tray is worn and the duration may vary
according to a person’s individual need and the recommendations of the
dentist. The dentist will monitor the entire process of in-home
bleaching to assure its effectiveness and safety.
Over the counter products that are self-administered are not recommended, although they may appear to cost less. Bleaching treatment
should be done under the supervision of a dentist following a proper
exam and diagnosis. Whiteners with the ADA Seal of Acceptance have
proven to be safe and effective.
