Erase stubborn stains caused by food, drinks, aging, and more with ease at home thanks to . Our Washington cosmetic dentist will supply you with custom-made whitening trays and powerful, yet safe whitening gel. Compared to in-office methods, whitening at home gives you control over how bright you want your smile.
How Does At-Home Teeth Whitening Work?
If you decide you’d like to pursue teeth whitening, we will make sure you have every component you need to achieve your desired shade. Before we send you on your way, however, our cosmetic dentist will start by conducting a routine exam to ensure you’re a proper candidate for teeth whitening.
Teeth whitening may not be for those with:
- Highly sensitive teeth
- Signs of gum disease
- Restorations like crowns, bridges, fillings, and veneers
- Worn enamel
- Cavities
Assuming all is well, we’ll provide you with custom whitening trays (top and bottom) and dental-grade Opalescence whitening gel. To guarantee you successfully complete the treatment at home, we’ll go through every step in detail and explain what to avoid for the best results. Our dentist and staff are happy to answer any questions you may have at this time as we want your smile to be as dazzling as you do.
Is Teeth Whitening Safe?
Yes, our at-home teeth whitening supplies including custom-made trays and gel are safe for patients wanting a revamped smile. While over-the-counter products may seem like they whiten your teeth all the same, some are not clear about the ingredients they contain and how they’ll affect your teeth and gums.
The Opalescence whitening gel goes a step beyond store-bought whitening products and uses active ingredients like potassium nitrate and fluoride to pass into your teeth and oxidize discolored molecules underneath the surface. The gel is also made sticky so it remains where you’ve placed it in the trays. This means you don’t have to worry about any gel escaping during treatment.
Brighten Your Teeth for a Show-Stopping Smile
