Cosmetic Tooth Whitening, or bleaching, is an easy way to enhance your smile by brightening your teeth. Many patients inquire about this service, and many prescription and non-prescription formulas exist.
CTW is a conservative way to brighten your smile if you are satisfied with the general shape and position of your teeth. Different habits and clinical situations may affect the results and how long the results last, so it is important to discuss CTW with your dentist. CTW involves having impressions or “molds” taken of your teeth to make custom whitening trays that fit your teeth precisely, and wearing these clear trays from several hours per day to overnight.
Cosmetic Tooth Whitening is monitored by your Doctor, who will take your initial starting shade and monitor your results. Typically, the process takes 2-4 weeks.
