Understanding your options

Teeth whitening lightens natural teeth with a peroxide gel. In-office whitening uses a stronger gel, sometimes with a light or laser, and can lift the shade in one visit; take-home whitening uses custom trays with a milder gel over one to two weeks. Whitening does not change the colour of crowns, veneers, or fillings, and it should be done by a dentist after a check-up.
