The Advantages of Take-Home Teeth Whitening

You’ve tried all the over-the-counter whitening toothpaste and kits, but nothing delivers the natural results you want. Have you considered a professional take-home teeth whitening kit from your Kalaheo dentist?

Advantages of Take-Home Teeth Whitening

You can invest a lot of time and money in OTC whitening products and never see the results possible with a customized kit available from your dentist. Teeth whitening with a professional is safer, produces the bright, natural-looking results you want, and offers several advantages.

More Powerful Whiteners

The whitening gel in store-bought kits has to be mild to be safe for the widest number of people. It may be too weak to eliminate stubborn stains like those caused by coffee, red wine, or tobacco.

A custom kit from your dentist uses prescription-strength whiteners, and you can be assured that the product is fresh and potent.

Custom Whitening Trays

The generic whitening trays in OTC kits don’t provide the coverage you get with custom trays made from impressions of your teeth. You can be confident that the whitening gel will contact all tooth surfaces for even results and won’t leak out and irritate soft tissues in the mouth.

Natural-Looking Whitening Results

Whitening with a professional take-home kit involves placing the gel in the trays and wearing them for 30–60 minutes a day for two weeks. You control the amount of time you whiten each day, and you stop when you achieve the natural-looking results you want. Simply use your trays and any leftover whitening gel when you need a touchup.

Lower Risk of Tooth Sensitivity

With a store-bought kit, there’s no way to know whether the gel will cause tooth sensitivity until you use it. A dental professional who knows your oral health history will adjust the strength of whiteners to avoid discomfort and tooth sensitivity.
