If you’re interested in a brighter smile in Terre Haute, a custom take-home teeth whitening kit from Dr. Nilanchal Sahai may be right for you. Take-home whitening from Vivid Smiles allows you to whiten your teeth at home and still get professional-grade results.
Wondering how it works, or if it’s right for you? You’ve come to the right place. We’ll explain all the details you need to know about how custom take-home teeth whitening kits work.
To begin the process, you’ll need to come into Vivid Smiles for a quick consultation with Dr. Sahai. They will determine if teeth whitening is a good choice for you, and may discuss other cosmetic dentistry options depending on your case.
If you’re approved for whitening, impressions and images of your teeth will be taken. This information will be sent to a dental lab. At the lab, a technician will use this information to create a set of reusable, custom-fitted plastic whitening trays.
These trays are designed to fit perfectly over your teeth, and to ensure that the whitening compounds make good contact with the surface of the teeth. This is why professional take-home kits are so much more effective than over-the-counter (OTC) whitening kits.
It will take a little while for us to send your information to our lab, for them to build the trays, and for them to be returned to Vivid Dentistry. Usually, your follow up will be in 2-3 weeks.
Once your trays have arrived at our office, you’ll come in for a quick consultation with Dr. Paruchuri or Dr. Sahai. They will provide you with your whitening trays, a set of professional-strength whitening products, and instructions on how to use them. Then, you’ll be sent home.
All you have to do to whiten your teeth is follow your instructions. These may vary depending on your case, but most people will need to whiten their teeth for one hour each day, whenever it’s convenient to do so. The total treatment time is usually 2-4 weeks, depending on your level of staining and your desired level of brightness.
After you’ve completed your take-home whitening treatment, your smile will look bright and beautiful. The results of take-home whitening are identical to in-office whitening, though it will take longer to see your maximum results.
However, some patients prefer this. Because take-home whitening takes longer to show your full results, it’s more subtle, and it’s less obvious to others that you have had your teeth whitened.
Stains, yellowing, and discoloration don’t have to make you feel self-conscious about your smile. With take-home whitening kits from Vivid Smiles, it’s never been easier to brighten your teeth. Contact us online or give us a call at (812) 803-2340 to schedule a consultation and get started today.
