Get Pro Results at Home
Brightening your smile from the comfort of home starts with expert care at Boardwalk Family Dental. Dr. Hurtte and our team use advanced technology and personalized planning to ensure your take-home whitening experience is safe, effective, and comfortable from start to finish. Teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to enhance your smile, especially when done under the care of a professional like Dr. Hurtte. Here are the key reasons why professional whitening is a better choice than drugstore products:
- Customized Treatment: Professional whitening is tailored to your needs, ensuring the right treatment for your enamel, tooth sensitivity, and stain levels. Over-the-counter products use a one-size-fits-all approach that may not work effectively for your unique smile.
- Higher-Quality Whitening Agents: Dr. Hurtte uses more powerful and effective whitening gels than drugstore products. These professional-grade gels target deep stains and provide more consistent results without damaging enamel or gums.
- Reduced Risk of Sensitivity: With professional whitening, Dr. Hurtte can monitor your progress and adjust treatments to prevent excessive sensitivity or discomfort. Drugstore brands often cause irritation and uneven results, especially when used improperly.
- Long-Lasting Results: Professional whitening delivers results that last much longer than over-the-counter products. While drugstore options may require frequent touch-ups, our treatments keep your smile brighter for months with minimal maintenance.
- Safe Under Supervision: Teeth whitening under the guidance of a dentist ensures that the process is safe and effective. Using drugstore products without professional oversight can lead to poor results or potential damage to your teeth and gums.
What’s Involved in Whitening?
Step 1: Comprehensive Consultation
It all starts with a personalized consultation. Dr. Hurtte takes the time to really listen to your goals and carefully reviews your dental history. During the appointment, we’ll use digital imaging, intraoral cameras, and 3D scanning to get a clear picture of your tooth shade, enamel health, and overall oral condition. With all this information, we’ll put together a whitening plan that’s effective and comfortable, ensuring you get the results you want without any hassle.
Step 2: Personalized Take-Home Whitening Plan
Once we’ve completed your scans, the dentist creates a custom whitening plan tailored to your needs. We take digital impressions using CEREC or CAD/CAM technology to design trays that fit snugly and whiten your teeth evenly.
You’ll receive a complete take-home whitening kit with custom trays, professional-grade gel, and detailed instructions. We will explain how to use your kit safely and get gleaming results!
Step 3: At-Home Whitening Experience
Complete the steps outlined in the kit’s instructions once you’re home, comfy in your sweatpants and slippers. Then simply whiten your teeth while watching TV, working, or relaxing. You’ll love the comfort of the customized trays.
Step 4: Follow-Up and Smile Maintenance
We love seeing you once, but we love seeing you even more! Follow-up visits allow us to ensure your trays fit and you see the desired results. Dr. Hurtte can also perform touch-ups and maintenance to maintain your results.
Let us know if you’d like to start take-home whitening at your next appointment—we’ll make sure it’s easy, comfortable, and designed around your goals.
