Next, the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">teeth bleaching<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> gel is applied to your teeth and kept on for 15 to 30 minutes. A special LED light is used to speed up the oxidation process. Between gel applications, the teeth are checked to see how well they have whitened and whether another round is needed. We may recommend a follow-up <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">teeth whitening<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> appointment if a satisfactory level of whitening hasn&#8217;t been achieved. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"--fontsize: 22; line-height: 2.2; --minfontsize: 22;\" data-fontsize=\"22\" data-lineheight=\"48.4px\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 28px;\">How Long Does a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 28px;\">Teeth Whitening Procedure<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 28px;\"> Take?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tooth whitening<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> procedure takes 30 to 90 minutes.
