One hour in office teeth whitening Vs At home teeth whitening.

You can have your teeth whitened in our office in one visit with Rembrandt. The advantages of in office teeth whitening are obvious. It is fast and it is safer than take home teeth whitening What are the disadvantages? It costs more and from time to time re-treatments or touchups are necessary. How often? It depends on the home care and dark fluids the patients drink. For more Q and As see below:

1. Does it work? Teeth whitening procedures work for most patients. Surely you have seen some people out there whose teeth seem to glow in the dark?
    
2. When does it not work? It does not work well for patients with stain that is inside their teeth or patients with tetracycline stain. Though there are some reports of success if used for several months.
    
3. Which is better in office bleaching or home bleaching? There are advantages of both ways. In office bleaching can be done faster and is by some considered safer. This is because hydrogen peroxide is suspected as a carcingen or cancer causing agent. It has not been proven. In office bleaching uses a dam to keep the bleach out of your mouth and soft tissue areas. The advantage of home bleaching is that you have control and it is cheaper. A disadvantage is it takes longer. For some patients in office bleaching combined with at home bleaching gives the best results.
    
4. How do over the counter products compare? OTC products are more difficult to use because the trays do not fit snugly. Also the patient is apt to swallow more of the bleaching agent.
    
5. What are the complications, risks, is it safe? Hot and cold sensitivity when there are exposed roots or deep cavities. It has been in the news about a patient in Des Moines needing multiple root canal therapy due to bleaching but I have yet to see that problem in our practice.
