Teeth Whitening
Get that perfect shade of white when you smile! Enhancing the colour and brightness of your teeth is simple with our professional-grade at-home whitening kits, provided by your dentist, who must first create custom mouth trays for you. These trays are to be filled with professional-grade whitening gel and placed over your top and bottom teeth. After wearing them for a specified time period every day for about two weeks, your teeth will achieve the same whitening results as an in-office treatment.
Professional at-home teeth whitening kits are those obtained from your dentist which contain a high concentration of either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. Custom-fitted dental trays are included to keep the whitening solution on the surface of the tooth and limit the exposure of the solution to the sensitive gum (gingival) area. Professional in-home kits are relatively easy to use and offer exceptional results after just one to two weeks of use.
Using Professional Home Whitening Kits---- Custom-made trays must be manufactured in order to ensure the whitening solution are properly distributed. Without these, a lot of the solution could be wasted or put onto areas of the mouth that may be damaged.
There are several steps to obtaining and using in-home teeth whitening kit:
- Impressions would first be taken of both your upper and lower teeth using non-toxic dental putty to make the custom trays.
- In the meantime, the initial shade of your teeth would be recorded in your dental chart for comparison when the whitening is completed.
- When the trays are ready, an appointment would be set to show you how to properly dispense and apply the solution and other instructions needed to obtain the optimal results.
- Before starting the at-home procedure, you would need to brush, floss, and rinse completely.
- The procedure itself is typically performed an hour per day for two weeks, Certain brands can be worn overnight. You would need to avoid eating, drinking, or smoking while wearing the trays and continue to do the same for 30 minutes after.
- After two weeks of treatment, a follow-up appointment would be made to track your results and see how they compare to your reference shade.
- The additional whitening solution can be used for touch-ups if needed.
