How long does it take to bleach teeth?

Augusta Family Dental - FAQ A-L
That depends on the color of the teeth, the type of stain. It can take a week or it can take longer. Typically it takes 2-3 weeks. I can see why you'd be lured by those ads; they are very inexpensive. But you get what you pay for. I haven't seen a store-bought bleaching kit yet that has been approved by the American Dental Association Council on Dental Therapeutics.
