At-Home Teeth Whitening in Greensboro, NC

Drugstore strips and one-size-fits-all trays leave a lot to chance. Because they aren't shaped to your mouth, the gel lands unevenly, leaks onto your gums, and washes out with saliva after about half an hour, which is why results are often patchy and take weeks to show. A professional at-home kit from Locklear Dentistry solves the two problems store-bought whitening never can: fit and strength.

Your trays are custom-made from an impression of your own teeth, so the dentist-grade gel stays sealed against your enamel for hours instead of minutes, whitening more evenly and more deeply. The gel itself is far stronger than anything sold over the counter, and because we walk you through exactly how to use it, you avoid the uneven patches and gum irritation people so often end up with from a drugstore kit.

How Does In-Home Teeth Whitening in Greensboro Work?

Getting started is simple. You come in for a quick visit where we take impressions of your teeth, and a dental lab uses them to build trays fitted precisely to your mouth. Once your trays are ready, you take them home along with your professional whitening gel and wear them a short time each day, most patients see a noticeably brighter smile within about two weeks. Your custom trays are yours to keep, so touching up your shade months down the road is as easy as picking up more gel rather than starting over.

One thing worth knowing before you begin: whitening gel only lightens natural tooth enamel, so any crowns, veneers, or fillings you have will keep their original shade, which is something we'll check and talk through so your smile ends up even. If you'd rather get your full result in a single visit instead, ask us about in-office whitening as well.
