At-Home Teeth Whitening With Professional Results

One of our most popular services is take home whitening trays, which allow our patients to safely and easily whiten their teeth with professional-grade products. In order to do this, the patient will first book an appointment in which impressions are taken of both the upper and lower arch of teeth. These impressions are then poured up and cast into a stone model, which is used to fabricate a set of plastic custom trays that will perfectly fit the patient’s teeth. The patient is then given these trays to take home, along with a kit that contains easy-to-use whitening gel products that are loaded into syringes. Before they leave with the trays, they are instructed on how to properly fill and apply them.

At home, the patient will first ensure that their teeth are freshly brushed and flossed. They will then fill their custom trays with the whitening gel, place the trays over their teeth, and wait the directed amount of time before removing the trays and thoroughly rinsing out the mouth. The amount of time differs with each patient, but in most cases, it is recommended to be left on for an hour or two. In some cases, some patients will be recommended to leave their trays on overnight. A two-week follow up appointment will be made to check the progress of the teeth whitening, and if needed, whitening gel refills will be given to the patient.

Getting Started

To begin the process, our dental hygienist and dentist Robstown TX will take a look at your teeth in order to determine how many levels of whitening you can expect to see. We strongly recommend having a cleaning done with your lightening session in order to promote the best possible results.
