Many patients wonder how effective professional teeth whitening in Palatine, IL, really is. Is it worth the cost? How bright will my smile be?
We're so glad you asked, and the answers to these questions often depend on each patient's unique circumstances. For example, a tobacco user may experience different results than someone who doesn't smoke or use tobacco products. However, most patients find that their teeth become about 6 to 10 shades lighter with professional teeth whitening.
Professional Teeth Whitening at Palatine Complete Dental
Your results may also depend on the type of teeth whitening service you choose. At Palatine Complete Dental, we offer in-office teeth whitening, which delivers quick results, and take-home whitening that brightens teeth over time.
In-office whitening takes place in our dental office and delivers quick results in about 60 to 90 minutes. We place a protective barrier around your gums and then apply a high-strength bleaching gel to your teeth. We might repeat this step depending on the level of staining or discoloration you're dealing with.
For take-home whitening, we take impressions of your teeth to create custom plastic bleaching trays. We provide high-strength bleaching gel that you'll apply to your trays at home. Most patients achieve their desired results by wearing the trays 30 minutes a day for 7 to 14 days.
