I wasn’t thrilled with the results so we’ve quit doing that. We ended up making trays for patients and sending them home with them anyways, so it cost a lot more. Years ago, we did some in office bleaching with a light, and a high power bleaching solution, and it took a lot of time you sitting in the chair with some fairly caustic items in your mouth and I was never happy with the result. There are folks that have some significant coloration of teeth, tech recycling staining, a lot of darker color, and there are some folks that benefit from doing whitening for a longer period of time too, and we can add extra whitening to the process, extra bleaching solution. For most people, if they go through the whole kit for the teeth whitening, most people get to where they’re probably going to get on whitening. And you actually put the bleaching material, which is a peroxide gel, you put that in the trays either during the day or at night depending on the product that we’re using, and you do that over the course of two, two and a half weeks. With teeth whitening, what we do here in the office is a process where we get impressions of your teeth, so we have models of your teeth, and we make trays that are custom fit to your teeth.
