At-home tray whitening is a professional whitening solution that uses custom-made trays and whitening gel available only through your dentist. To use this system, you place a small amount of whitening gel into the custom-fitted trays and wear them for about an hour a day. At The Art of Smile Dental, we offer various strengths of at-home whitening kits, with the time required to achieve your desired shade ranging from a few days to several weeks, depending on the kit you choose.

For a faster whitening solution, we offer in-office whitening treatments using either the Zoom Whitening or KöR Whitening Deep Bleaching system. Both of these systems use a safe and effective bleaching process that lightens discolored enamel, brightening your smile in just one visit. In-office whitening can lighten your teeth up to 10 shades in a single session, making it an excellent option for those with busy schedules or anyone preparing for an important event or celebration.

In-office whitening treatments are highly effective, fast, and long-lasting. The results can last for many years, as long as you maintain proper dental hygiene and schedule regular professional cleanings. We are happy to explain the differences between the Zoom and KöR whitening systems and help you choose the option best suited for your needs.

It’s important to note that while teeth whitening can lighten the natural enamel and dentin of your teeth, it does not affect crowns, bridges, or other artificial surfaces. If you're considering other cosmetic enhancements like crowns, porcelain veneers, or replacing discolored fillings, it may be a good idea to whiten your teeth first so that your restorations can be matched to the newly brightened shade of your teeth for a seamless, aesthetically pleasing result.
