Are you tired of seeing discolored teeth in the mirror? Can’t get the results you want with over-the-counter whitening products? If so, ask Dr. Habecker about take-home teeth whitening. Our custom whitening trays are both comfortable and effective.
Here’s what else you should know.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening Process
For a more radiant smile, schedule an appointment with our teeth whitening dentist. During your first appointment with us, our dentist will take impressions of your teeth to send to the lab. When your teeth whitening trays are ready, we will call you back to our office for the final fitting.
Custom teeth whitening trays are durable enough to last several years. But you’ll still need to buy bleaching gel to continue at-home treatments.
Dr. Habecker may ask you to bring your whitening trays with you to your routine checkups. That way, he can check the condition of your trays and recommend replacement as needed.
Benefits of Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Our bleaching gel is much more powerful than what you could get at the store. This allows you to enjoy professional teeth whitening results from home. You’re also able to whiten your teeth when it’s most convenient for you.
Another benefit of take-home teeth whitening is that you’re less likely to experience tooth sensitivity. Many over-the-counter products can make your teeth feel sensitive to heat and cold. During your consultation, Dr. Habecker will determine the best way to whiten your smile while reducing sensitivity as much as possible.

The best way to maintain a white, healthy smile is to practice good oral hygiene. This means brushing your teeth twice a day for two minutes at a time. You should also floss once a day to remove any food particles or plaque that could get caught between teeth.
