At-Home Teeth Whitening
Another beneficial way to brighten your smile is with our at-home whitening treatment. To begin treatment, our dentists will take impressions of your upper and lower teeth which will be used to create custom whitening trays. During the treatment, you will place a small amount of whitening solution in the tray. Then, you will wear the trays for 30 minutes to 1 hour two times a day. This can vary depending on the individual sensitivity while whitening. You will do this for two to four weeks, depending on the severity of your tooth stains and the sensitivity of your teeth. Then touch ups as needed can be completed using the same trays to maintain your white and bright teeth.
Teeth can become stained or discolored due to a variety of factors, including the natural passage of time, poor oral hygiene, foods and drinks that stain, smoking and use of other tobacco products and certain illnesses and medications. Whatever the cause of your tooth discoloration, our dentists and team can help. Our professional whitening treatments can brighten your teeth safely, comfortably and effectively to give you back a confident smile.
After you achieve your desired shade of white, our dentists and team recommend a few simple steps to help keep your smile bright. These include practicing good oral hygiene at home as well as making and keeping your regular dental appointments. You may also want to consider “touching up” your smile from time to time with another whitening treatment.
