Teeth whitening is a wonderful way to quickly improve your overall appearance.

The one that you choose will determine how soon you need to whiten before the big event.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a little more time, you may want to consider the at-home whitening option. This is completed over the course of 2 weeks. Simply fill trays that are customized to fit your unique bite with the high-powered solution and wear them for about 15 minutes daily, preferably at night before you go to bed. You will notice results right away, but be sure to continue with the treatment to get the maximum benefit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For events that are just around the corner, an in-office treatment is perfect because it only requires one visit to your dentist\u2019s practice. That means you can schedule an appointment on your lunch break and leave with pearlier-than-ever whites!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no concern about whitening too early, as the results can last for long to come as long as you maintain excellent hygiene \u2013 brushing, flossing, and visiting your dentist as recommended.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know more about how long teeth whitening takes, be sure to get in touch with your cosmetic dentist to get started! That\u2019s the best way to ensure that your smile will be camera-ready for your next big event.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet the Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Joyce Warwick and Dr. John Warwick have been providing excellence in dentistry for patients of Warwick Dentistry for over 30 years.
