Get Your Brightest Winter Smile! Special Offer on Teeth Whitening

Home whitening kits provided by your dentist are designed to be both safe and effective. These kits typically include custom-fitted trays and a whitening gel containing peroxide, which helps to bleach discolored teeth. The custom trays ensure that the gel is evenly distributed and stays in contact with your teeth for the recommended duration.

The whitening process involves applying the gel to the trays and wearing them for a specified period, usually several hours or overnight. Over time, the peroxide breaks down stains on the surface and deeper layers of your teeth, resulting in a brighter, whiter smile.

The duration of at home teeth whitening can vary based on the level of discoloration and the specific product used. Generally, you can expect to see initial results within a few days, with full results visible after two weeks of consistent use.

Your dentist will provide detailed instructions on how long to wear the trays each day. Some kits may require daily use for a set period, while others might be used every other day. It’s important to follow your dentist’s recommendations to achieve the best results safely.

Teeth whitening frequency depends on the method and your individual needs. Typically, it's advised to wait at least six months between whitening treatments to avoid potential damage to your teeth and gums. However, your dentist can provide personalized advice based on your oral health and whitening goals.

For maintenance, some people opt for touch-up treatments every few months. Using a whitening toothpaste or mouthwash can also help maintain your results between professional treatments.
