Dental Insurance Plus – Professional Dental Bleaching.
Under many dental insurance plans bleaching or teething whitening may not be covered since many dental insurance plans will not provide benefits for cosmetic services. Your dentist can perform bleaching or teeth whitening in their office or under dental supervision at home. Generally, your dentist will create a custom mouthpiece to ensure the correct amount of whitening solution is used and that your teeth are correctly exposed. Typically, whitening at home takes two to four weeks, depending on the desired shade you wish to achieve. Whitening in the office may call for one or more 45-minute to one-hour visits to your dentist’s office.
