Teeth Whitening Trays

Brighten Your Smile at Home with Belmont Dental

A bright, white smile can boost your confidence and leave a lasting impression. If you’ve noticed your teeth looking dull or stained over time, you’re not alone. Coffee, tea, red wine, smoking, and simply aging can all contribute to tooth discoloration. At Belmont Dental in York, PA, we offer professional take-home teeth whitening trays that deliver exceptional results in the comfort and convenience of your own home.

Led by the experienced father-daughter team of Dr. Robert Bury and Dr. Taylor Bury, Belmont Dental provides customized whitening solutions tailored to your goals and lifestyle. If you’re ready to enhance your smile with safe, effective teeth whitening, we’re here to help.

What Are Custom Teeth Whitening Trays?

Custom teeth whitening trays are personalized oral appliances designed specifically to fit your teeth. Unlike generic whitening strips or over-the-counter trays, custom trays are molded from impressions of your mouth, ensuring an exact fit. This allows the professional-strength whitening gel to be evenly distributed across your teeth for consistent, beautiful results.

The process is straightforward. After creating your custom trays at our office, we provide you with professional-grade whitening gel and detailed instructions. You’ll wear the trays at home for a specified amount of time each day, typically for one to two weeks, until you achieve your desired level of brightness.

Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?

While drugstore whitening products are widely available, professional teeth whitening offers several key advantages:

• Custom fit: Your trays are made specifically for your teeth, ensuring the gel stays in place and works effectively without irritating your gums.
• Stronger formula: Professional whitening gel contains a higher concentration of active ingredients than over-the-counter products, delivering faster and more dramatic results.
• Even results: Custom trays ensure uniform gel application, preventing patchy or inconsistent whitening.
• Supervised care: Our team monitors your progress and provides guidance to minimize sensitivity and maximize results.
• Long-lasting effects: With proper care and occasional touch-ups, your brighter smile can last for months or even years.

At Belmont Dental, we prioritize both safety and effectiveness, ensuring you achieve a radiant smile without compromising your oral health.

The Custom Whitening Process

Getting started with teeth whitening at Belmont Dental is simple:

• Consultation: During your visit, we’ll examine your teeth to ensure you’re a good candidate for whitening. We’ll discuss your goals and answer any questions you have.
• Impressions: We take detailed impressions of your teeth to create trays that fit perfectly and comfortably.
• At-Home Treatment: Once your trays are ready, you’ll return to pick them up along with your whitening gel. We’ll provide clear instructions on how to use the trays safely and effectively.
• Results: Most patients notice visible improvement within just a few days, with full results typically achieved in one to two weeks.

Throughout the process, our team is available to support you and address any concerns.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is ideal for patients who want to improve the appearance of stained or discolored teeth. It works best on extrinsic stains caused by food, beverages, and lifestyle habits. However, teeth whitening may not be suitable for everyone. We may recommend alternative treatments if you:

• Have untreated cavities or gum disease
• Have significant tooth sensitivity
• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have crowns, veneers, or bonding on visible front teeth (whitening only works on natural tooth enamel)

During your consultation, our dentists will evaluate your oral health and recommend the most appropriate solution for your needs.

Maintaining Your Bright Smile

Once you’ve achieved your desired results, you’ll want to keep your smile looking its best. Here are a few tips for maintaining your whitening results:

• Brush and floss daily
• Limit staining foods and beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine
• Use a straw when drinking dark liquids
• Avoid smoking or tobacco products
• Schedule regular dental cleanings at Belmont Dental

We can also provide touch-up gel so you can refresh your smile whenever needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do teeth whitening results last?

With good oral hygiene and careful attention to diet, your results can last anywhere from six months to two years. Touch-ups can help extend the brightness of your smile.

Will teeth whitening cause sensitivity?

Some patients experience mild sensitivity during treatment. We provide professional-grade gel formulated to minimize discomfort, and we can adjust your treatment plan if sensitivity becomes an issue.

Can I whiten my teeth if I have dental work?

Teeth whitening only affects natural tooth enamel. If you have crowns, veneers, or fillings on your front teeth, those restorations will not change color. We’ll discuss your options during your consultation.

How does professional whitening compare to over-the-counter products?

Professional teeth whitening uses stronger, more effective ingredients and custom trays for better results. Over-the-counter products are less predictable and may take longer to show results.
