How it works<\/span> and what types of<\/span> teeth whitening there are<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Teeth whitening can be done at home or in a clinic<\/strong>, but they have different procedures, results and durability.<\/span><\/p>\n

For at-home teeth whitening, an acrylic tray is produced in the shape of the teeth, personalized and adapted to the patient’s mouth<\/strong>. This mold serves as a support when applying the whitening gel, which should normally be applied for a few minutes over 7 to 15 days, depending on the type of shade desired. <\/span><\/p>\n

At the clinic, the procedure can be carried out in just one session, or in several sessions, depending on the result desired by the patient<\/strong>. The results are immediate. <\/span><\/p>\n

In-office whitening consists of applying a whitening gel, which is then activated by laser\/LED light<\/strong>. All the tissues in the mouth are protected and only the surface of the teeth is exposed. <\/span><\/p>\n

This treatment is more expensive than whitening done at home, but it can last for years, depending on how well the patient is cared for after treatment. <\/span>This type of whitening is carried out exclusively by professionals and in the office, and is a safe treatment with proven results.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
