Take Home Whitening Kit

Take-Home Whitening Kit in Chatswood

A Take-Home Whitening Kit in Chatswood is a convenient and effective way to brighten your smile from the comfort of your own home while still being guided by a dental professional. This treatment uses custom-fitted whitening trays and professional-grade bleaching gel provided by our dental team to safely and gradually improve tooth colour.

At Sunrise Dental Chatswood, we design take-home whitening plans tailored to your teeth, lifestyle, and whitening goals ensuring noticeable results without compromising comfort or safety.

 

What Is a Take-Home Whitening Kit?

A take-home whitening kit includes:

  • Custom-made whitening trays designed to fit your teeth precisely
  • Professional whitening gel not available over the counter
  • Clear instructions on how and when to use the trays

Unlike store-bought whitening products, custom trays ensure even gel distribution and reduce the risk of gum irritation, making this method both safer and more effective.

How Does Take-Home Whitening Work?

The process begins with a dental visit where impressions of your teeth are taken to create custom trays. Once ready:

  1. You apply a small amount of whitening gel into each tray
  2. Wear the trays for several hours or overnight, as advised
  3. Repeat daily for 7–10 days, or until your desired shade is achieved

This gradual approach allows you to whiten your teeth at a pace that suits you, with less sensitivity compared to rapid in-chair treatments.

 

Who Is Take-Home Whitening Best For?

Take-home whitening is ideal for patients who:

  • Prefer whitening at their own convenience
  • Want gradual, controlled results
  • Have mild to moderate staining
  • Want professional results without an in-clinic session

It’s also an excellent option for maintaining results after Zoom In-Surgery Whitening.

 

Benefits of Take-Home Whitening Kits

  • Professional-grade whitening at home
  • Custom trays for comfort and precision
  • Gradual whitening with reduced sensitivity
  • Flexible schedule to suit your routine
  • Noticeable results in just a few days

Because the treatment is dentist-approved and monitored, it delivers more predictable and longer-lasting results than DIY whitening kits.

 

How White Can My Teeth Get?

Most patients notice visible improvement within a few days, with optimal results appearing after one to two weeks. The final shade depends on your starting tooth colour and consistency of use. Your dentist will guide you on when to stop to avoid over-whitening.

 

Is Take-Home Whitening Safe?

Yes. When provided by a dental professional, take-home whitening is a safe and controlled treatment. Our Chatswood dentists ensure the gel concentration is appropriate and that your trays fit correctly to minimise gum irritation or sensitivity.

General FAQs

Can I use whitening kit everyday?

How often you use teeth whitening products varies based on the concentration of the bleaching agent. Some are designed to be used once a day, while others can be used twice (or more). Some are used for a week, while others can be used for two weeks (or more).

Should I brush my teeth after using whitening kit?

It's safe to brush and floss your teeth after using whitening strips. It won't reduce the whitening effects of the treatment. Manufacturers recommend doing so gently. This will help you avoid gum irritation and discomfort.

Do teeth whitening kits have side effects?

The potential side effects of teeth whitening include teeth sensitivity, gum irritation, and ineffective results. However, most patients do not experience any notable side effects from professional teeth whitening, as the dentist can monitor the process and perform treatment in a way that minimizes risk.

How do take-home teeth whitening kits work?

Take-home teeth whitening kits use bleaching agents like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to break down stains on and inside your teeth. The process gradually lightens the tooth color, removing surface and deeper stains. Kits come as strips, pens, or custom-fitted trays, and the results depend on the strength of the whitening agent and the level of staining on your teeth.

How long does it take to whiten teeth at home?

Professional at-home whitening kits usually show noticeable results within a week and achieve full results in 1–2 weeks. Over-the-counter products like strips or whitening toothpaste may take longer, often 2–4 weeks, depending on the level of staining and product strength.

Are at-home whitening kits safe?

Yes, at-home teeth whitening kits are generally safe when used correctly and within Australian regulations. Always follow instructions, use products with safe concentrations of whitening agents (up to 6% hydrogen peroxide or 18% carbamide peroxide), and consult your dentist if you have existing dental issues. Misuse can cause temporary sensitivity, gum irritation, or enamel damage.

How often should I use an at-home whitening kit?

Follow the instructions provided with your whitening kit, usually a 1–2 week cycle, with touch-ups every few months as needed. Overuse can lead to tooth sensitivity, gum irritation, or enamel damage.

How long will my teeth stay white after using a home kit?

Results from a take-home teeth whitening kit generally last between 4 months and 1 year, depending on the type of kit and your lifestyle habits. Dentist-provided kits usually maintain results longer than over-the-counter options.
