Take Home Whitening

How is take home teeth whitening done?

An impression is taken to make a specialized “trays” to hold the bleaching agent against the teeth. In a few days your custom bleaching trays will be ready for you to pick up from our surgery. Drs. Wong or Cheng will advise you on how long you should wear each application as well as providing you with specific instruction on how to place the bleaching agent into the clear trays. A recent study showed that you can achieve an average improvement of six shades* after just three nights of use. Drs. Wong or Cheng will help you determine how many applications are right for you.

When your teeth reach the desired brightness, only occasional treatment is needed to maintain your new smile.

How long does Take-Home Whitening take?

The take-home gel is designed to be worn between four and eight hours per application.

In most cases, the change is nothing short of brilliant. For confidence in appearance, bleaching technology allows us to promise improvements in yellowing, aging or stained teeth. For very severely stained teeth, crowns or porcelain veneers may be more appropriate.

Cracked Teeth

Cracked teeth demonstrate many types of symptoms, including pain when chewing, temperature sensitivities, or even the release of biting pressure. It is also common for pain to come and go, making it difficult to diagnose the cause of discomfort. Chewing can cause movement of the cracked pieces of your tooth, and the pulp within the tooth becomes irritated. At the same time, when biting pressure is released, the crack can close quickly, resulting in sharp pain. Eventually, the pulp will become damaged and tooth will consistently hurt, even when you are not chewing.
