At-home tray whitening is a professional treatment that uses custom-made trays and whitening gel, available only through your dentist. A small amount of whitening gel is placed in the custom-fitted trays, which you wear for about one hour per day. At The Art of Smile Dental, we offer a variety of at-home whitening solutions with different strengths. Depending on the kit, achieving your desired shade may take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.

For in-office whitening, we offer the Zoom Whitening or KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching systems. Both use a bleaching process to lighten discolored enamel, providing a safe, effective, and fast way to brighten your smile in just one office visit. In-office whitening can lighten your teeth by up to 10 shades in a single session, making it an ideal choice for busy patients or those who want to enhance their smile for an upcoming event or special occasion.

In-office whitening treatments are faster, more effective, and longer-lasting compared to at-home methods. The results can last for many years with proper dental care and regular professional cleanings. We’d be happy to discuss the differences between the Zoom and KöR whitening systems and help you choose the one that best suits your needs.

It’s important to note that tooth whitening only affects the enamel and dentin of natural teeth and has no impact on crowns, bridges, or other artificial surfaces. If you’re considering other cosmetic treatments, like crowns, porcelain veneers, or replacing old fillings, you might want to whiten your teeth first so that any restorations can be matched to your newly brightened smile for the best aesthetic results.
