Are You Ready For At-Home Whitening?

Earlier in the week we discussed in-office whitening and the ways this treatment can brighten your smile. However, some people prefer to have their teeth brightened from the comfort of their own home. Instead of settling for over-the-counter strips or toothpastes, why not choose a professional cosmetic option? Are you ready for our professional at-home teeth whitening system?

1. True or False: The trays are custom-made.
2. True or False: You will wear them every day.
3. True or False: We can adjust your treatment to reduce sensitivity.
4. True or False: You can perform touch-ups to maintain your results for longer periods.

Answer Key

1. True. The trays are custom-made at our office and then sent home with the patient. We will also provide a powerful bleaching gel.
2. True. Each day you will wear the gel-filled trays for either a period of about 30 minutes or possibly overnight, depending in the severity of your teeth stains. Total treatment will take between a week and ten days on average. For many patients, smiles are brightened by multiple shades.
3. True. We have multiple home-based options of varying strength, which can help those prone to tooth sensitivity avoid discomfort.
4. True. You can use the remaining gel to perform touch-ups at later dates. You can also take other steps to help your smile stay brighter for longer, such as undergoing routine six month cleanings, brushing and flossing daily, and cutting back on drinks with dark pigments, such as soda, tea, red wine, coffee, and fruit juice.
