What Is At-Home Teeth Whitening & Bleaching?

Also known as “tray bleaching,” at-home professional whitening is one of the most popular methods of achieving a brighter smile. Professional at-home bleaching requires custom-made trays, and professionally dispensed whitening gel you can only purchase through a licensed dentist. This method usually costs about $250 - $350, and whitens your teeth about 6-8 shades. [1]

 

The whitening gel is placed in custom-fitted trays that fit perfectly over your teeth. As the peroxide in the gel breaks down, hydroxyradicals enter the tooth to naturally whiten the stains. Unlike strips, this process whitens all your teeth and provides maximum comfort with less sensitivity and gum irritation.
