How does it work? Dr. Gist will take impressions of
your teeth that will allow for custom trays to be made for your
bleaching procedure. The gel is placed in these thin comfortable
trays and fitted over your teeth. As you white your teeth, carbamide
peroxide is broken down and oxygen enters the enamel and dentin.
This bleaches out the discolored areas. The structure of the tooth
is not changed. The color of the tooth is simply made lighter.
How long does it take?
Results are often seen after one night. Optimum natural whiteness
usually occurs when the process is continued for a week to ten days.
Dr. Gist will go over what you can expect for your individual
situation.
How long will it last?
The duration of your results depends largely upon you. The results
may be permanent. Practice good oral hygiene and brush normally,
especially after consuming staining foods or beverages and your
results could last for years. If you use staining substances like
coffee, tobacco and red wine you may want periodic touch-ups for one
or two days every couple of years.
