Take-home teeth whitening at Way Dental: professional strength on your schedule
The secret to whitening at home is the custom-fit trays: they hold professional-strength gel exactly where it needs to be, with none on the gums where it causes sensitivity. So if you'd rather whiten on your own schedule than spend an hour in the dental chair, custom take-home whitening is a great option, and the results are far better than anything you'll get from drugstore strips.
This short video shows how the process works. We take impressions of your teeth and make custom trays that fit precisely. You fill the trays with a small amount of professional-strength bleach and wear them for the time period your dentist prescribes, usually anywhere from 30 minutes to overnight, depending on the strength.
Here's why the custom fit matters so much. One-size-fits-all over-the-counter trays let the gel leak onto the gums, causing irritation and uneven coverage. Custom trays deliver consistent, even whitening across every tooth, and the higher concentration of bleach delivers results you simply can't get from drugstore kits.
Whitening isn't permanent, but with the occasional touch-up and by steering clear of heavy staining foods and drinks, results can last a long time. Ask about take-home whitening at your next cleaning.
