WatchTake-Home Teeth Whitening
Take-home teeth whitening on your own schedule at Brammeier Dental of Naperville
Custom take-home whitening is a great option when you'd rather whiten on your own schedule than spend an hour in the dental chair, and the results run far ahead of any drugstore strips. It all comes down to the custom-fit trays, which hold professional-strength gel exactly where it belongs and keep it off the gums, where it tends to cause sensitivity.
The short video walks through how it works. It starts in our office, where we take impressions of your teeth and make custom trays that fit precisely. From there 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 custom matters: one-size-fits-all over-the-counter trays let the gel leak onto the gums, which brings irritation and uneven coverage. Custom trays spread consistent, even whitening across every tooth, and the higher concentration of bleach produces results you simply can't get from drugstore kits.
No whitening is permanent, but the occasional touch-up, plus steering clear of heavy staining foods and drinks, can keep results going for a long time. Ask about take-home whitening at your next cleaning.
