Home whitening involves the use of custom made trays used over a period of time at home. This technique involves taking impressions (moulds) of your teeth. These impressions are sent off to a laboratory where a technician
fabricates custom made trays designed to fit closely to your teeth. This customisation allows for maximum
contact between the whitening gel and your teeth. This system also minimises the gel’s contact with gum tissue
and reduces any gum irritation.
A whitening gel is syringed into the trays and these are seated for a minimum of
an hour and up to overnight. These trays can be kept and used for future whitening, so further impression taking
and tray fabrication is not required.
Successful whitening can normally be achieved after two/three weeks,
however, this may vary with certain types of discolouration.
