When You Want to Whiten Your Teeth, You Have Options

When it comes to helping you achieve a brighter smile, Dr. Nozik & Dr. Tumminelli at White Spruce Dental in Rochester, offer two primary types of teeth whitening methods: in-office treatment and take-home products. Each option can effectively help you eliminate teeth stains and discoloration for a brighter, more beautiful smile. Read on to understand each method so you can decide which approach is right for you.

1. In-Office Treatment

In-office teeth whitening, also known as professional whitening or chairside bleaching, is performed by a dental professional in a clinical setting. It involves the use of a high-concentration bleaching gel to lighten the shade of your teeth and remove stubborn stains, resulting in a noticeably whiter smile. In-office whitening offers quick and effective results, often helping you achieve several shades of whitening in a single session. 

2. Take-Home Products

Take-home teeth whitening products allow you to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your own home, following a dentist’s prescription or using over-the-counter options. They typically consist of whitening gel or strips that are applied directly to the teeth for a specified period, usually a few minutes to an hour per day, over several days or weeks. However, the results are slower and less dramatic than those of in-office treatment.

Whether you prefer the speed and efficiency of in-office treatment or the convenience of take-home products, consulting with Dr. Nozik & Dr. Tumminelli at White Spruce Dental in Rochester can help you determine the best approach to achieve your desired level of whitening.
