Can Teeth Whitening Work in One Day?

Considering teeth whitening? Modern-day dentistry has allowed for the evolution of many teeth whitening products, which gives individuals with stained teeth a lot of options. However, with the options comes the question of results. Most are curious how quickly results are achievable and specifically, whether whiter teeth are achievable in one day. Keep reading to find out more.

Understanding how quickly teeth whitening works

Below is a quick overview of teeth whitening, including how quickly it can work and whether results are noticeable within one day. This information can be quite helpful to individuals considering their whitening options.

At-home vs. in-office teeth whitening

In order to understand whether teeth whitening works in one day, it is necessary to review the different types of teeth whitening as there are a couple of options. Professional in-office teeth whitening is performed by a general dentist using a strong solution and a curing light. Another professional option is for the dentist to send the patient home with whitening trays that contain a similar solution. Dentists have access to stronger products, which often makes the results of professional teeth whitening more noticeable.

On the flip side, there are also store-bought teeth whitening products that everyone can access. However, with the affordability of at-home kits comes the potential that the results may not be as desirable. Store-bought products are very similar to the professional take-home teeth whitening trays that dentists prescribe, however, the product solution itself is not as strong.

Results

Many people who consider teeth whitening want to know which option will produce the best results. And, more often than not, the goal is to have whiter teeth in just one day. Thankfully, professional, in-office teeth whitening often produces immediate results, which means the teeth will appear much whiter and brighter after one session.

However, with store-bought products, the results may not work in just one day. Most store-bought products require multiple rounds, over the course of a few weeks, which means the teeth may not reach that whiter, brighter shade for a month or so.

Other things to note

It is important to understand that professional teeth whitening can produce results in just one day after just one session, whereas store-bought products require a lot of patience and time. Those who want immediate or quick results should consider an in-office session or take-home trays from the dentist. If there is more time then store-bought products are a good option.

General dentists also want individuals to know that both teeth whitening options can produce sensitivity. While professional in-office treatments can produce results in just one day, there will likely be sensitivity to hot and cold foods immediately after.
