Teeth Whitening (Take-Home Tray)

Take-home tray whitening uses custom-made trays and a professional whitening gel to lighten the teeth gradually at home under the dentist's guidance. MediArt makes trays fitted to your teeth for even, comfortable results, and also offers internal whitening for a single darkened tooth after root-canal treatment. A professional clean beforehand helps the result look its best.

Tray-based (take-home) whitening lightens the natural shade of the teeth using a professional-strength gel held against them in custom-fitted trays. Because the trays are made to your own teeth, the gel is distributed evenly and kept off the gums, which supports a comfortable, uniform result. Whitening works on natural tooth enamel; existing fillings, crowns and veneers do not change colour, so the dentist will explain what to expect if you have restorations in the smile zone. At MediArt Clinic the dentist takes impressions or a scan to make the trays, then provides the gel with instructions on how long to wear them over a course of days at home. Some temporary tooth sensitivity is common and usually settles after treatment. The clinic also offers internal (non-vital) whitening for a single tooth that has darkened following root-canal treatment, lightening it from the inside. For the most even and lasting result, whitening is best carried out on clean teeth, and the clinic offers professional scaling, air-polishing and fluoride as a separate hygiene appointment. Suitability is confirmed at a dental check beforehand; whitening is not carried out during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
