Teeth whitening can be uncomfortable if you have sensitive teeth. That's one reason it's best to seek professional teeth whitening with your dentist, who can advise you on handling tooth sensitivity. Your dentist can also adjust the strength of the bleaching gel they provide you with based on your needs and sensitivity levels.
The ingredients in the professional bleaching gels your dentist uses are typically stronger and include components that help minimize tooth sensitivity, which is common for many people. These gels can help you achieve better results, quicker.
Professional Teeth Whitening in Charlotte
At Gentry Dental, we offer custom take-home teeth-whitening trays that patients can use at their convenience in the comfort of their homes.
We start by taking impressions of your teeth and creating custom plastic trays. Dr. Gentry will recommend one of our high-strength bleaching gels based on your needs and smile goals.
You'll apply the gel to your trays at home and wear them for 30 minutes a day. Most patients achieve their desired results in about 10-14 days. Best of all, you'll always have your trays if you'd like to brighten your smile in the future.
We sell additional tubes of whitening gel at Gentry Dental. You can contact our team at (704) 554-1007 for more information.
