Whether you’re looking for at-home teeth whitening or treatments in the office, we can help. Your Aspen Dental care team will consult with you to find the best way of whitening teeth for you, and we’ll make it affordable.
If you are looking for a brighter, whiter smile, stain removal or bleaching is the best way of whitening teeth. So, what’s the difference between teeth whitening and teeth bleaching, and which method is best for you?
Generally, there are 2 types of safe teeth whitening and bleaching—and Aspen Dental offers both:
In-office | At home |
Uses state-of-the-art LED light technology | Works by wearing a whitening tray on your teeth for several hours a day |
Performed by your dentist or dental hygienist | Performed by you at home |
May lighten your teeth 5-7 shades in just 1 hour | May lighten your teeth 5-7 shades in just 2 weeks |
You have plenty to choose from when it comes to the best whitening teeth treatment to use at home. But, not all of them may give you the results you’re looking for. If you’re not in a hurry to brighten your smile, the safest route is to obtain a DIY kit from your dentist’s office and gradually lighten the teeth by wearing tray liners coated with a bleach gel. The process typically takes 2 weeks.
If you don’t want to wait for a whiter smile, in-office teeth whitening can give you safe, effective results almost instantly. Dentists use a more powerful bleaching solution than those given with DIY kits and might also use lights or lasers to aid in the process.
