Home Teeth Whitening
At-home teeth whitening uses prescription-strength bleaching products and custom mouth trays to allow patients to enhance their smiles at home.
Overview
Although there are plenty of options at the store to whiten your smile in your home, they don’t usually work as well as they say. At Brian Wong D.D.S. P.A. (formerly Stonebriar Dental), we offer prescription-strength kits to whiten your teeth at home. Home whitening sets from our board-certified dentist Dr. Brian Wong is an effective treatment to easily remove stains for a brighter smile. They will put together your whitening kit to match your needs to give you your ideal outcomes. Your kit will have dental trays to help make your treatment comfortable. If you would like to improve the appearance of your smile using one of our home teeth whitening kits, contact us in Frisco, TX to make an appointment.
Best Candidates
To enhance the appearance of your smile in the comfort of your home, one of our dentists may suggest a personalized whitening kit. Your enamel may be dull or show dark and yellow stains that can accumulate over your life. You have probably used store-bought whitening treatment; however, you may have found them uncomfortable, ineffective, or even damaging to your enamel. At Brian Wong D.D.S. P.A., the concentration of the whitening product is selected for your goals and needs, which makes it a good choice for those with tooth sensitivity. Your home whitening kit can be used separately or along with an office whitening procedure to keep your results.
What to Expect
Before putting together your kit, your dentist will complete a full assessment of your enamel and dental health so they can decide on the best bleaching formula and strength. Each at-home whitening kit will be compiled with whitening products and trays. For your mouth trays, you may want to get impressions made of your mouth so custom mouth trays are created; however, you will wait longer before you have your trays. We also have professional trays that may be used right away that will be nicer compared to store-bought products. As soon as your whitening kit is assembled, you will be given the exact steps needed for your treatment, for example how often and how long to apply the bleaching gel.
Follow-Up
Your outcome will vary based on the concentration of the bleaching product, your starting tooth shade, as well as how frequently you apply your kit. As soon as you reach your goal, you should stop using your treatment. To keep your result, you need to follow a daily oral hygiene regimen and make certain changes, especially not consuming staining food, drinks, and any tobacco products. Also, you should attend twice yearly professional cleanings at Brian Wong D.D.S. P.A. (formerly Stonebriar Dental) so enamel stains can be treated, as well as yearly dental examinations so we can check your general dental health. You should clean your mouth trays often and keep them in a place you’ll remember so when you would like to resume your whitening treatments, you’ll just have to buy the whitening product.
Insurance Coverage: Teeth whitening is an elective treatment, so it’s usually not paid for by insurance. In your consultative appointment, we will talk about price estimates for all options, payments we take, as well as getting medical financing.
