Brighten your Smile with At-Home Teeth Whitening

At home professional teeth whitening has become more popular and cost effective. It is an effective alternative to professional in office teeth whitening. This treatment involves using a bleaching agent and custom trays. We will make your trays using dental impressions of your teeth.

The custom bleaching trays will keep the bleaching products concentrated on tooth surfaces and away from soft mouth tissue. This will reduce side effects such as tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. It is always important to avoid getting the whitening solution on your gums as this may cause sensitivity.

Take home teeth whitening will provide gradual results that are better than store bought options. Your new smile will last for a year or more. Periodic touch ups can help to maintain the results. Avoiding tobacco and dark beverages, such as coffee and red wine, will help your treatment last longer.

We recommend that patients avoid deeply colored beverages as they are likely to stain the surface of teeth, removing the effects of whitening treatment.

Professional teeth whitening does have limits. Coffee, soda, and tea can lead to yellow stains that respond very well to bleaching. However, brown and grey stains typically do not. These may come from tooth deterioration or from medication. Additionally, dental restorations such as dental crowns, dental veneers, or tooth bonding cannot be treated with professional whitening.

These are color matched to the exact shade of your natural tooth enamel and are stain resistant, so if your teeth become stained after you receive one of these restorations they may not match. A quick consultation will help you determine if you qualify for a whitening treatment.
