Take-Home Teeth Whitening Kits
Professional-grade teeth whitening systems offer better results and fewer side effects than over-the-counter options. Professional teeth whitening causes less sensitivity and helps to protect teeth from enamel erosion.
The custom-designed trays evenly distribute the whitening gel and protect gums and soft oral tissues from irritation. Take-home whitening kits are economical and allow the patient to whiten their teeth in the comfort of their own home at their convenience.
Why are my teeth yellow or discolored?
Yellow or discolored teeth are a fairly normal part of the aging process. Discolored teeth can be a result of diet, smoking, medications, or trauma to the teeth. Many teeth stains can be whitened with professional-grade whitening gels. For stains that are resistant to teeth whitening treatment options, such as discoloration due to an injury or medication, Dr. Desbordes may recommend Lumineers or porcelain veneers.

Teeth Whitening What to Expect
Take-home teeth whitening kits include custom-fit dental whitening trays for optimal results. Dr. Desbordes will take molds off your mouth and fabricate trays that will evenly and safely distribute the whitening gel to your teeth. The trays will be worn for a predetermined amount of time every day. Your teeth will gradually whiten providing natural-looking and subtle results.
Dr. Desbordes offers patients touch-up trays for extended results. Take-home teeth whitening kits use professional-grade whitening gel to protect patients’ oral health while whitening their teeth. To help maintain results it is best to avoid foods and beverages high in acid or dark in color.
Coffee, tea, and red wine are all known to stain teeth. Oral hygiene like brushing and flossing regularly can also help to keep your teeth fresh and bright. Biannual dental checkups and professional teeth cleanings also help to prevent yellowing or staining of the teeth.
