Would you like a whiter smile without leaving home — and with professional supervision?
At Clínica Dental Ceballos, we explain everything you need to know about at-home teeth whitening with custom trays: a safe, effective, and personalized option to enhance the color of your teeth.
What is at-home teeth whitening with trays?
The procedure begins with an evaluation at our clinic, where we assess your oral health and the current shade of your teeth. We then take digital or physical impressions of your mouth to create custom-fitted trays that adapt perfectly to your bite.
Once ready, we provide you with the trays along with a professional whitening gel, formulated with hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide in safe concentrations. You’ll apply the gel inside the trays and wear them for the recommended time each day—usually between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on your specific case.
Advantages of At-Home Whitening with Trays
How Does Tray-Based Teeth Whitening Work?
1. Initial evaluation at the clinic:
Before starting the treatment, we perform a comprehensive dental check-up to ensure there are no cavities, periodontal disease, or other conditions that could interfere with the whitening process. We also determine your current tooth shade to set a realistic and personalized whitening goal.
2. Taking impressions and creating custom trays:
Once we confirm that you’re a suitable candidate for the procedure, we take digital or physical impressions of your mouth to fabricate clear, custom-fitted trays that adapt perfectly to your teeth. These trays are flexible, comfortable, and reusable.
3. Whitening kit delivery:
Once your trays are ready, we provide you with a complete kit that includes:
-
Your custom-made whitening trays
-
Syringes filled with whitening gel (typically containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide)
-
Detailed instructions for safe and effective use
4. At-home application:
At home, simply apply a small amount of gel into the trays and place them in your mouth for the recommended time—usually between 30 minutes and 2 hours per day, depending on your case.
The full treatment typically lasts between 10 to 14 days.
What results can I expect?
Teeth typically become 2 to 8 shades lighter, depending on the individual case. It’s a gradual process, so you’ll notice results over the course of several days.
The best part? The change looks natural, without damaging the enamel or leaving stains.
Is it safe?
Yes—completely safe, as long as it’s done under professional supervision. At Clínica Dental Ceballos, we tailor the gel concentration to your specific needs and monitor your progress throughout the treatment. This helps minimize risks such as:
-
Temporary tooth sensitivity
-
Gum irritation (often due to excess gel)
-
Uneven whitening results (from improper use)
We do not recommend using over-the-counter products or generic kits purchased online without dental guidance.
