This may require getting the patients teeth to a pleasing color first, through whitening or other services. Whitening a patient's teeth, removes the appearance of coffee and tobacco stains and improves the color of aging, yellowing teeth. The in-office procedure can show results in one to three visits. Home whitening requires an initial visit to fit the teeth with two custom-made trays. These clear plastic trays hold a gel that whitens a patient's teeth in seven to fourteen days.
Patients can wear the trays overnight or more often in order to speed the process.
