If you’re looking for a safe, effective way to brighten your smile from the comfort of home, professional whitening trays may be the perfect solution. At A Dental Place, we offer custom take-home whitening kits designed to fit your smile and deliver noticeable results. Our whitening trays are made from a precise intraoral scan and fabricated by a dental Lab, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal comfort. Each kit includes Pola professional-strength whitening gel for brighter results than over-the-counter options.

Why Choose Professional Take-Home Whitening?

Store-bought whitening strips and generic trays often provide uneven results—and can lead to sensitivity if they don’t fit properly. With our custom take-home system, you’ll receive professional-grade gel and perfectly molded trays that ensure safe, even application across all visible teeth.

How the Whitening Process Works

Getting started with whitening at A Dental Place is simple:

  1. Dr. Castro will perform an exam to confirm you’re a good candidate for whitening and that no active dental issues are present.
  2. We take a quick digital scan of your teeth using an intraoral scanner—no messy impressions needed!
  3. Your scan is sent to a dental lab, where your custom trays are crafted with precision and care.
  4. Once your trays are ready, you’ll receive them along with a supply of Pola whitening gel and instructions for safe, effective use at home.

What Is Pola Whitening Gel?

Pola is a professional-strength whitening gel designed to lift surface stains and lighten tooth enamel several shades with minimal sensitivity. It’s safe for use at home under the guidance of a dentist and delivers results that far outperform drugstore alternatives. You’ll typically use the gel for 30–60 minutes per day over the course of 1–2 weeks, depending on your starting shade and desired outcome.

What Can Teeth Whitening Improve?

Teeth whitening is ideal for improving stains or discoloration caused by:

  • Coffee, tea, or red wine
  • Tobacco use
  • Dark-colored foods or sauces
  • Aging and natural enamel wear
  • Some medications

It’s important to note that whitening is most effective on natural tooth enamel and may not change the color of crowns, fillings, or veneers.

Am I a Candidate for Whitening?

Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates for take-home whitening. However, if you have untreated cavities, gum inflammation, or are pregnant or nursing, whitening may be postponed until a later time. Dr. Castro will review your health history and help determine if whitening is right for you during your consultation.
