There are different ways in which one can undergo teeth whitening. The different methods have varying concentrations of peroxides and different application times, and may include the following:

In-office tooth whitening

The procedure is also known as professional teeth whitening and it offers significant changes in the teeth color in a short time. It is performed as follows:

• The dentist will first check the current shade of your teeth before starting the procedure.
• The teeth will then be polished using pumice, to remove any plaque that may be present on the tooth surface.
• The mouth is isolated using gauze to keep the teeth dry and retractors will be used to keep the lips, cheeks, and tongue away from the whitening solution.
• A barrier is placed along the gumline to prevent exposure to the whitening solution.
• The front surface of the teeth is then coated using a whitening or bleaching agent that contains about 15% to 43% peroxide (hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide).
• Some whitening products may need a laser or a curing light to activate the peroxide.
• The solution is usually left on the teeth for 30 to 60 minutes or may need repeated applications, depending on the brand used.
• The patient will be asked to rinse the teeth once the recommended application time is over or the optimum shade has been achieved. 
• The doctor may provide a fluoride application to the teeth to help reduce teeth sensitivity, which is a common type of side effect faced after teeth whitening.
• The entire procedure usually takes 60 to 90 minutes to complete. 
• Additional visits may be needed until the desired teeth shade is achieved.

Professional Take At-Home Teeth Whitening Kits

This procedure is an alternative to the expensive in-office teeth bleaching procedure. It is performed as follows:

• The dentist will make custom-fitted bleaching trays for the patient using dental impressions.
• The trays will be provided to the patient along with take-home kits.
• These kits have a lower concentration of peroxide gel which makes them safe to use at home.
• The dentist will provide instructions on how long the solution needs to be left on the teeth and how frequently the kit can be used.

Laser Teeth Whitening

This procedure is also known as laser bleaching. It is one of the most popular instant teeth whitening procedures and is performed as follows:

• A special laser light is passed by the dentist through the teeth to whiten them.
• The procedure takes 30 to 120 minutes per session and can result in exceptional results in a short time.
• This procedure is particularly useful for public figures or people having jobs that involve oration or holding professional meetings. It provides them with an instant white smile.
• Laser teeth whitening will be costly compared to other teeth whitening methods and you must consult your dentist to understand if you are a suitable candidate for undergoing the procedure. 

Over the Counter (OTC) Products

There are several over-the-counter products available for bleaching teeth at home. These products include:

• Teeth whitening strips and gels: Peroxide-based teeth bleaching products are applied directly to the teeth using a brush or a thin strip. They are usually applied once or twice a day for 10 to 14 days. The results usually last for four months or more. Crest teeth whitening strips are quite popularly used as an OTC teeth whitening product. 
• Teeth whitening toothpaste: Whitening toothpaste has certain chemicals or polishing agents that help scrub the stains from the teeth without the use of a bleaching agent. They can help brighten the teeth up to one shade. Some whitening toothpaste may contain peroxides, but they are not left on the teeth long enough to have a whitening effect.
• Home whitening kits: Certain over-the-counter home whitening kits are available in the market. They contain a bleaching gel with a lower concentration than the professionally dispensed take-home whitening kit. The bleaching gel is applied to the teeth using standard trays, paint-on applicators, or strips. However, these kits have an increased risk of bleaching the gums and surrounding soft tissues in the mouth.
