Professional Whitening Take-Home Kits
The take-home tray whitening process is comfortable and requires only a brief visit to our dentists. Before beginning the whitening process, our dentist will clean your teeth and address any existing dental issues, such as cavities or gum disease. The next step involves crafting your custom take-home whitening trays, also known as stents or custom bleach splints. After taking an impression of your teeth, our dentists will use the molds to create these trays. The trays, which are durable, lightweight, and clear, typically take a few days to be produced.
Once ready, you can take these trays home and use them following our dentist's guidelines. For at-home application, our dentists will advise you to place a small amount of the bleaching solution into the clear trays and wear them for up to four hours a day, spanning one to two weeks.
After each use, the trays should be cleaned with a Q-tip or cloth and rinsed. While it's generally not recommended to use whitening trays for consecutive days, they can be reused over time to enhance your smile, with a frequency of 2-3 times a week as a good rule of thumb. It's important to note that achieving significant results with whitening trays may take longer for teeth with dark, tough stains compared to other treatments.
