You are correct that a teeth whitening gel is made of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Peroxide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"peroxide (opens in a new tab)\">peroxide<\/a>. However, it is only effective if it soaks into your teeth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When your dentist creates a tooth whitening tray for you, he does it so they will have a close custom fit to your natural teeth. With the solution being a gel, it will stay on your teeth better in the tray.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It will need to soak in for a minimum of 15 minutes a day for there to be any whitening effect. I don&#8217;t think you&#8217;re going to feel comfortable rinsing for 15 minutes a day. Even then, it would take a few weeks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Your Teeth Whitened Fast<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"546\" height=\"239\" class=\"wp-image-1360\" src=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/zoom.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/zoom.jpg 546w, https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/zoom-300x131.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 546px) 100vw, 546px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you really want your teeth whitened fast, look for a dentist who offers <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-zoom-whitening.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Zoom Whitening (opens in a new tab)\">Zoom Whitening<\/a>. This is an in-office procedure that will completely whiten your teeth in just one appointment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This is a safer option for you than gargling with peroxide every day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Smile Makeover<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Another option for fast, white teeth is to get a complete <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-porcelain-veneers.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"smile makeover with porcelain veneers (opens in a new tab)\">smile makeover with porcelain veneers<\/a>. I would only recommend this if you want to change more than just the color of your teeth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Porcelain veneers can change the shape, size, and color of your teeth all at the same time. It&#8217;s what celebrities use as their go-to for their Hollywood smile.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If all you want is to do whiten your teeth then I would just stick with Zoom. It is much less expensive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"New Orleans Dentist (opens in a new tab)\">New Orleans Dentist<\/a> Dr. Duane Delaune.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I learned that teeth whitening is mostly a peroxide mixture.
