That simple procedure alone will take years off your smile&#8217;s appearance. You have two options to get this done.<\/p>\n<h2>Teeth Whitening Option One:\u00a0 Take Home<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_1240\" style=\"width: 180px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1240\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1240\" src=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/teeth-whitening-new-orleans.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of teeth whitening trays in a blue case.\" width=\"170\" height=\"144\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1240\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Teeth whitening trays<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The least expensive option is to use take-home trays. Your dentist will custom fit them to your smile so the whitening gel stays in place while still reaching the whole tooth for even whitening. You&#8217;d want to wear them for a minimum of 30 minutes a day at your convenience. Obviously, the longer you wear them, the whiter they will get.\u00a0 Depending on how much staining your teeth have and how white you want to get them, this can take around six weeks. Of course, the length of time you wear them each day will be a factor as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Teeth Whitening Option Two:\u00a0 Zoom Whitening<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_1109\" style=\"width: 176px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1109\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1109\" src=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Zoom3.jpg\" alt=\"Patient using Zoom Whitening light\" width=\"166\" height=\"124\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1109\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zoom Whitening Light<\/p><\/div>\n<p>You can also have your teeth whitened in just one appointment using <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-zoom-whitening.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zoom Whitening<\/a>.\u00a0 This is an in-office procedure and not all dentists have the equipment, so you may have to call around to see who in your area does.\u00a0 This uses a special light that activates the whitening gel.\u00a0 Your teeth will be their whitest in just three 20-minute sessions all done in one appointment.<\/p>\n<p>I hope this helps.\u00a0 Best of luck with your reunion!<\/p>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Orleans Dentist<\/a> Dr. Duane Delaune.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man I knew way back in high school is flying into town for a business meeting and wants to have dinner and catch up.
