At-Home Tooth Whitening: The tooth whitening system is a chemical process that dramatically lightens the shade of your natural teeth (it has no whitening effect on porcelain crowns, veneers, bridges or fillings). Replacing crowns and fillings to match your new tooth colour should be delayed until after the whitening treatment is completed. Crown and filling replacement is not included in the fee for the whitening treatment. Your whitening treatment may or may not include an in-office treatment.

The colour lightening effect is obtained by wearing the whitening gel in custom trays (we make for you) covering your teeth. We recommend wearing the trays up to two (2) hours a day.

Instructions:

1. After dinner, brush your teeth with your regular toothpaste.
2. Hold the mouth tray parallel to the floor.
3. Find the impression of your two front teeth and count back six teeth (either side), start there on the one side.
4. Slowly press down on the plunger of the syringe with your thumb. Express a little bead of the gel into that tooth indentation.
5. Use a small drop in each tooth indentation of the tray.
6. Wear for one (1) hour each night.

The more you are able to avoid drinking caffeinated beverages, drinking red wine and smoking; the longer you can expect to enjoy the benefits of whitening.
