Take-Home Whitening

Prefer to whiten on your own schedule? Our custom take-home whitening kits use professional-grade gel in trays made just for you, delivering stunning results from the comfort of home.

1
Custom-Fitted Trays

We take impressions of your teeth to create trays that fit perfectly, ensuring even whitening coverage and maximum comfort.

2
Professional-Grade Gel

Our whitening gel is stronger and more effective than over-the-counter products, delivering noticeably better results.

3
Whiten on Your Schedule

Wear your trays for the recommended time each day — morning, evening, or whenever works best for you.

4
Gradual, Natural Results

Take-home whitening brightens your smile progressively over 1–2 weeks for a natural-looking transformation.

5
Reusable Trays

Keep your custom trays for future touch-ups. Simply purchase additional whitening gel from our office when needed.

6
Less Sensitivity

The gradual approach often produces less sensitivity than single-session treatments, ideal for patients with sensitive teeth.

FAQ

Common Questions

Need more info? Call us at (703) 820-8282

How long until I see results?

Most patients notice improvement within the first few days. Full results are typically visible after 10–14 days of consistent use.

How long do I wear the trays each day?

We typically recommend 30–60 minutes per day, but Dr. Tekle will give you specific instructions based on your gel concentration and sensitivity level.

Can I use store-bought whitening strips instead?

Over-the-counter products use lower concentrations and one-size-fits-all trays, leading to uneven results. Custom trays with professional gel deliver far superior, more uniform whitening.

How do I maintain my results?

Brush and floss regularly, limit staining foods and drinks, and do periodic touch-up sessions with your custom trays every few months.
