Often called “bleaching” is offered. We
use a system that you can take home and
control on your own.
AT HOME TRAYS
Although we cannot always predict
what the outcome of this type of
whitening system will be, it is likely
that you will see 4-10 shades lighter
and whiter. However the cost is
significantly less with take home trays
than is in office whitening.
EXISTING DENTAL WORK
Whitening trays will not lighten
existing dental work such as
crowns,
bridges, fillings or
partials. Therefore
you may not want to whiten your teeth
lighter than any dental work that you
can see in your smile. It is unrealistic
to expect that your teeth will be of a
pure white shade from whitening.
WHAT TO EXPECT
You can expect that whitening will
remove stains brought on by smoking,
coffee, tea, and soda. Do not expect
that discoloration from medications will
be removed from teeth whitening. (You
may want to consider veneers)
You will be given a custom made tray/s
that fits in your mouth. Enough bleach
to last approximately 1-2 weeks. You
will be given instructions on how to use
the bleach and what to expect.
