What Is Take-Home Teeth Whitening? 

If go on YouTube right now and type in “at-home teeth whitening methodsâ€, you will find multiple videos of people claiming they have the guaranteed way for you to brighten your smile from the comfort of home.

But once you look past the clickbait titles you will realise these methods really aren’t proven!

In this blog when we talk about “What Is Take-Home Teeth Whitening†and “whitening from home†we aren’t referring to brushing your teeth with bicarb soda twice daily, but rather a professional dental clean and proven Zoom Teeth Whitening gel.

Before we can answer the question on What is Take-Home Teeth Whitening, you first need to understand the process behind your Take-Home Teeth Whitening kit. The process can easily be broken into 4 steps.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening Steps;

  1. Consult your Dentist
  2. Get a professional clean
  3. Custom fitted bleaching trays.
  4. Zoom Teeth Whitening gel – Daytime and Night-time.

Four steps may seem like a lot but are necessary for you to get the perfect white smile.

Step 1: Consult your Dentist.

Before deciding on Take-Home Teeth Whitening it is important that you first speak with your Dentist. In some cases, if you have had dental work done in the past Take-Home Teeth Whitening may not be safe for your teeth or even transform your smile for the worse.

Step 2: Get your professional clean

Once your Dentist has suggested Take-Home Teeth Whitening, they will then professionally clean your teeth removing stains and debris that could affect the results of the whitening. This step is extremely important as if you don’t have a clean surface on your teeth, you won’t get the results you want.

Step 3: Custom-fitted bleaching trays

Once you have had your professional clean and polish your Dentist will create your custom bleaching trays. They will be created just for you, fit perfectly and hold comfortably. This step is important as the custom-fitted trays ensure the whitening gel holds directly to your teeth and doesn’t fall out or cause you great discomfort during use.

Step 4: Zoom Teeth Whitening Gel

Depending on what results you wish to see your Dentist will recommend the appropriate amount of Zoom Whitening Gel to use per session. Dependant on your lifestyle you also have the opportunity to select either night or day treatments.

When providing you with the gel your Dentist will provide you approximate session time lengths to achieve your desired result.

From that point onward you will be in full control of your Take-Home Teeth Whitening journey.

Now you understand the steps that go behind Take-Home Teeth Whitening that should answer the “What is Take-Home Teeth Whitening†question.
