Whiter Teeth.
Brighter Confidence.
Whitening your teeth is one of the quickest, easiest ways to boost your self-confidence. It’s safe, non-invasive, and can make you look and feel years younger without changing the structure of your teeth.
At Auburn Dental, we offer custom take-home whitening kits designed to deliver powerful results in the comfort of your own home. It's more affordable than in-office whitening and just as effective.
How Professional Teeth Whitening Works
Step 1: A Healthy Starting Point
Before we begin, we’ll ensure your teeth are clean and free of any issues like leaky fillings or sensitivity. This helps you get the best results comfortably and safely.
Step 2: Custom Whitening Trays
We’ll take impressions of your teeth to create custom trays that fit your smile perfectly. This close fit ensures the whitening gel covers all surfaces evenly and stays in place.
Step 3: At-Home Whitening
Once your trays are ready, we’ll provide you with a powerful peroxide-based whitening gel. Simply wear the trays for 20 minutes a day over a two-week period, or until you reach your desired shade. You can continue treatments as needed.
Why Professional Whitening Is More Effective
Over-the-counter whitening products often fall short for one simple reason: they’re not strong enough to reach deep stains. The gel in our whitening kits is dentist-strength peroxide, which penetrates the enamel and reaches the inner dentin layer, where deeper staining occurs.
This process releases oxygen that oxidizes stains from the inside out — giving you dramatic, lasting results.
How Long Does Whitening Last?
The stains that are removed with our whitening gel are gone for good. However, your teeth can pick up new stains over time from:
- Coffee & tea
- Red wine
- Tobacco
- Deeply pigmented foods
The great news? You’ll keep your custom trays, and whenever you want a touch-up, we’ll provide more whitening gel. Many patients refresh their smile once a year.
