There are several professional teeth whitening systems on the U.S. market. Some of the tooth whitening products offered by dentists are one-hour, in-office treatments that remove stains and whiten the teeth in just one short appointment. Dentists can also take a mold of your teeth and make a custom mouth tray for you, and provide you with a professional at-home whitening kit that lightens teeth several shades over a course of a few weeks. At the Connecticut cosmetic dentistry practice Center for Esthetic Dentistry, N. Summer Lerch offers in office Connecticut teeth whitening to improve the appearance of the teeth.

Some patients prefer the in-office teeth whitening option because they can get the entire treatment done in a short amount of time and don't have to deal with putting the teeth whitening solution in the mouth tray and keeping it in the mouth for 30 minutes a day for the next few weeks. Other patients prefer to whiten the teeth a little bit at a time so they have more control over how much the teeth are brightened. Some patients even opt to undergo professional in-office teeth whitening, and get the mouth trays and at-home teeth whitening solution so they can maintain their smile for the next year.
