How Long Does Teeth Whitening Take?

I was wanting to get my teeth whitened but was curious as to how long the procedure takes.

Tom,

It really depends on the type of teeth whitening procedure you’re asking about. An in-office teeth whitening procedure can be done in just one appointment. Dr. Cha prefers KöR over Zoom because it doesn’t dry out your teeth and make them sensitive.

If you’re talking about at-home teeth whitening it depends on how white you want your teeth. You’ll wear the whitening trays for a minimum of twenty minutes a day, for as many days as you’d like until you reach the level of whitening you want. Most people reach their goal in just a few weeks.

I want to get my teeth whitened and want to be sure I have it done well.  How do I find the best teeth whitening dentist?

Beverly,

There aren’t really whitening dentists. So there isn’t one best dentist for whitening. Any general dentist that does cosmetic dentistry could easily do a fantastic job. It’s not a difficult procedure.

Your decision probably needs to be more what type of teeth whitening that you prefer. Do you want to do it at home and control how white your teeth get or do you just want to get them as white as possible in just one visit?

If you want to control it, do at-home professional teeth whitening. Otherwise, you might prefer an in-office procedure. Although Zoom® is popular, Dr. Cha prefers KöR® Deep Bleaching™. KöR doesn’t use a light to accelerate the gel. It hydrates and conditions teeth, instead of drying them out like Zoom.
