If you have a wedding, photoshoot, or another big event coming up where you\u2019re likely to be photographed, teeth whitening<\/a> can help you make the best impression possible. With the help of professional bleaching gels, you can get a smile up to eight shades whiter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re interested in looking your best on your big day, here\u2019s how you can time the procedure so that you can be prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Long Does It Take to Get Teeth Whitening?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The amount of time it\u2019ll take to get your teeth whitened depends on a few factors, the biggest one being the method you use. Most dentists offer both in-office and take-home whitening treatment, and either of them can produce incredible results. Which one you should get depends on your personal preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Should I Get In-office Whitening?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you opt to get teeth whitening in a dentist\u2019s office, you can get a brighter smile in as little as one appointment. Your dentist will apply a bleaching solution directly onto your teeth, wait for 15 minutes or so, and then remove it once it\u2019s taken effect. They\u2019ll do this repeatedly until they get the level of results that you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because it can be done in a single appointment, you could theoretically get whitening the day before your event. However, most people report a little bit of tooth sensitivity for a few days after the treatment, so if you\u2019re going somewhere where you want to fully enjoy the food, you might get the treatment a week or so beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Should I Get Take-Home Whitening?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As you might have guessed, take-home whitening can be done from the comfort of your home. Your dentist will fit you for a whitening tray, then give you a bleaching gel that you can pour into it. Apply the gel to the tray, then wear it for an hour or two each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This bleaching gel is weaker than what you\u2019d get in a dentist\u2019s office, so it\u2019ll take around two weeks to see the same level of results. There\u2019s also the issue of tooth sensitivity, which means that it may be a good idea to start take-home whitening as much as a month before your event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The results from teeth whitening can last for years, so there\u2019s no reason not to get the treatment well in advance of your big day. In fact, there\u2019s no time like the present to get the perfectly white smile you\u2019ve been looking for!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
