Tooth Whitening
At Home
This is the procedure of making teeth whiter, and therefore more attractive.
It involves having impressions taken from which laboratory fabricated custom vinyl trays are made. A carbamide peroxide gel is placed in these trays and the trays with gel are worn for about 30 minutes. The entire process takes 3-4 weeks of daily use. Three different strengths of gel may be used, however the higher the strength the greater the likelihood of reactions or tooth sensitivity.
The tray method is recommended for badly stained teeth, such as tetracycline staining, and it may take several months of use to see significant color improvement. For maintenance of whitened teeth, the trays should be used every few months. It is important that the patient is up to date on their regular cleaning and checkup to ensure that any current plaque or staining is removed first.

Your smile is the way you greet the world. While you have many options for whitening your teeth, your dentist is your best resource for whitening treatments. Only dental professionals have access to the most powerful, professional-strength whitening and can ensure your treatment is safe and your results are outstanding.
Why you should ask your dentist about professional whitening
A whiter smile will also be a healthier smile
Your dental professional will know all about the health history of your teeth. So you’ll get a treatment recommendation that accounts for any unique needs you may have, including sensitivity issues or previous dental work such as veneers, fillings or caps.
You’ll make whiter teeth part of your regular care regimen
You visit your dental professional regularly for cleanings and checkups, so he or she can also ensure that your whitening procedures are regularly scheduled. This way, your dentist will know about your expectations for a healthy, white smile and recommend the necessary steps to achieve and maintain it.
