Teeth Whitening Options
At-home teeth whitening kit
At-home teeth whitening kits are a popular and convenient option for those who want to brighten their smile from the comfort of their own home. These kits include custom-made trays and a lower-strength whitening gel you apply to the teeth using the trays. The gel is left on the teeth for a specified amount of time each day, usually for several weeks, until you achieve the desired shade.
