Customised Home Teeth Whitening Kits to Rejuvenate Your Smile
Is your smile losing its natural brilliance and vitality? It could be due to the buildup of tea or coffee stains or natural discolouration over time. Professional teeth whitening kits can help restore your smile’s radiance by removing the stains for a brighter, more radiant smile.
At Heathcote Dental Surgery, we offer custom take-home teeth whitening kits that allow you to achieve your desired tooth colour from the comfort of your home. With a detailed consultation to assess your oral health and understand your aesthetic concerns, we ensure high-quality dental care 100% tailored to meet your requirements.
Our Take-Home Teeth Whitening Process
Take-home teeth whitening kits are a popular option for people who want to whiten their teeth conveniently. Our kits include custom-fitted teeth whitening trays with a peroxide-based whitening gel made according to your whitening goals. These trays are necessary to be used for a few weeks and should be worn for a couple of hours each day, following our dentist’s instructions. The teeth whitening trays gently work to remove stains and discolouration until the desired whitening level is achieved.
Our teeth whitening process involves:
Initial Consultation
The first step is an initial consultation to determine the condition of your teeth and eligibility for treatment. Teeth whitening can only help remove stains and discolouration on the tooth enamel. Discolouration caused because of plaque or tartar buildup may require a dental cleaning to remove. This provides a cleaner and smoother surface for the teeth whitening treatment, ensuring improved and longer-lasting results.
Other factors such as the natural tooth colour, genetic discolouration and teeth condition must also be considered. There may be other cosmetic treatments, such as dental veneers, that may offer better results for some patients. A consultation helps determine the right procedure for your cosmetic concerns, aligning it with your aesthetic and dental needs for a thorough treatment that goes beyond the surface.
Custom Teeth Whitening Trays
Once you move forward with the treatment, we will take your teeth impressions to create your custom take-home teeth whitening trays. You will also be given a teeth-whitening gel to add to the trays. The concentration of the whitening gel is adjusted according to your teeth whitening requirements, teeth sensitivity and the duration you will leave the trays in. This ensures a more comfortable treatment, personalised to your preferences and lifestyle. Our dentist will provide detailed usage instructions on how to use the teeth whitening kits and the aftercare and maintenance required, helping avoid issues such as gum irritation and tooth sensitivity.
Take-home teeth whitening treatment generally involves two appointments. After your custom trays are ready, you can easily continue your treatment from your home, checking in with our dentist if you have any questions or concerns. We encourage proactive communication and always take the time to listen to your issues and help provide the support, guidance, or solutions you need.
