Q.	"How long does tray whitening take?"
A.	"Generally, patients se results in just a few days. The entire process usually takes 10-14 days with daily applications. The total number of days may vary depending upon the color of your teeth beforehand."
Q.	*"Is it safe?"*
A.	"Yes. Your dentist first performs an inspection of your mouth, gum tissue and teeth to ensure that your experience will be pain-free. Next, custom trays are made to comfortably fit your bite. Then you are given professional-grade whitening solution for your trays."
Q.	*"How convenient is it?"*
A.	"It's easy. Just apply the solution in the whitening tray and wear it during your personal time - sleeping, watching television, reading, etc."

Whitening Trays

Q.	"Will whitening my teeth cause more cavities?"
A.	"No. Dentist-supervised home bleaching kits have been used since the mid 80's. Numerous studies have all resulted in no side effects. The worst that can happen is an increased sensitivity to cold, which stops one or two days after finishing the whitening process."
