Two bleaching methods are available at Gary M Krupa DDS: Power Bleaching with a Laser, done at our office, and At-Home-Bleaching, which provides for home use (not to be confused with over-the-counter bleaching products available in local Sacramento area drug stores).
The difference between the two is the strength of the whitening agent and the time it takes to get effective results.Power bleaching usually takes three to six visits, while home bleaching may take up to four weeks of regular use.
Sensitive teeth, or those that are chipped, eroded or weakened by cavities, should be repaired or protected before they are bleached.
Please don't hesitate to call Gary M Krupa DDS at 916 481-4242 with any questions you may have about the benefits of tooth whitening or tooth bleaching for a whiter smile.
