About Take-Home Teeth Whitening – Brooklyn, New York

While getting in-office teeth whitening treatment is quite effective, some patients may require additional whitening treatment at home. In fact, some patients may be better served by having the whitening performed solely in the comfort of their own home. For this reason, Dr. Eugene Stanislaus offers patients at his Brooklyn, New York office the option of getting a take-home teeth whitening kit. These professional take-home teeth whitening kits are much more effective than the products you find at the local store, and they can brighten your smile by several shades.

What is Take-Home Teeth Whitening?

Take-home teeth whitening involves the use of a professional-grade whitening system in the comfort of your own home. Since the actual professional systems involve bulky equipment and can be potentially harmful without proper supervision, these take-home kits are generally simplified and rely on trays, retainers, and slightly different bleaching agents than those that would be used in the office. Take-home teeth whitening may take longer to perform that professional in-office whitening, but the results can be just as good.

How Does Take-Home Teeth Whitening Work?

The first step to take-home teeth whitening is undergoing a consultation at our Brooklyn, New York office. During this teeth whitening consultation, Dr. Stanislaus will determine which option for teeth whitening will best meet your needs and your aesthetic and dental health goals.

If your take-home teeth whitening kit is provided as a supplement to in-office teeth whitening or laser tooth whitening, you will first undergo that treatment in Dr. Stanislaus’s office.

When given your take-home teeth whitening kit, be sure to follow Dr. Stanislaus’s instructions and the instructions for the whitening kit itself. Never use too much bleaching agent and don’t overdo treatment. If you experience some degree of tooth sensitivity after using your take-home whitening kit, this is natural. It’s a good idea to rinse with lukewarm water when your teeth are sensitive, and to use a toothbrush with soft bristles. If the tooth sensitivity is particularly acute, be sure to contact Dr. Stanislaus so he can address this issue in more detail.
