Take-Home Teeth Whitening Options

Professional Take-Home Teeth Whitening

We will make personalized whitening trays that specifically fit your teeth to ensure the best results. The process starts by taking impressions of your upper and lower teeth with a non-toxic dental putty. These impressions are sent to a lab where your custom-fit trays are made. When your trays are ready, we’ll schedule an appointment for you to come in to pick them up and get one-to-one instructions. Our friendly team will. also record the shade of your teeth so we can compare their before-whitening color to their final whiteness after treatment is complete.

Store-Bought Take-Home Whitening Kits

There are several options for teeth whitening at home – gels, strips, pens, rinses, and toothpaste. Store-bought bleaching kits do not include a custom-fitted tray and often do not have the same concentration of bleaching agent. This is why they are cheaper than professional take-home whitening trays, and the process takes longer and is less effective than professional kits. Using a standard one-size-fits-all tray may not allow even bleaching and may leak whitening gel into your mouth, which may cause burning and irritation. Store-bought kits may require up to a month to see results, which vary and are not guaranteed.

Who Is A Candidate For This Type Of Treatment?

Candidates for this treatment typically include adults and teenagers who have healthy teeth and gums, as it is important to address any underlying dental issues before beginning the whitening process. Ideal candidates should have mild to moderate discoloration due to aging, consumption of staining foods and beverages (like coffee, tea, or red wine), or tobacco use.
