Teeth Whitening With Trays


  1. Before bleaching, thoroughly brush and floss your teeth.  This will ensure that the bleach reaches all nooks and crannies.
  2. After brushing and flossing, place a small amount (about the size of a ballpoint pen) of bleach into each tooth, skipping over any teeth that have crowns (as they cannot be whitened).
  3. Next you will place the bleach tray with the bleach in it, into your mouth.  When placing, be sure to lightly press on the surface of your teeth to express the bleach thoroughly around each tooth.
  4. Take a Q-tip and wipe away any excess bleach that has overflowed out of the tray and onto your gums.  Bleach on your gums can burn them to a white filmy texture (that is NOT permanent).
  5. Leave the bleach on your teeth for the appointed time.  15% — 4-6 hours; 20% — 2-4 hours; 35% — 30 minutes.
  6. Take the bleach tray out of your mouth and immediately brush both your teeth and the bleach tray making sure to clean ALL remaining bleach away.
  7. Store trays in the case provided and in a cool location.
  8. Store the whitening material in the refrigerator (not the freezer).
  9. Repeat this daily for two weeks or until bleach material is gone.
  10. If you have sensitivity, bleach every other day or three days.  You may also try using Sensodyne toothpaste or any toothpaste high in baking soda (Arm &Hammer).
Always a pleasure to receive excellent dental care at Brentwood Dentistry and Dr. Garner. Extremely caring, gentle and kind in all his treatments. The best. I would absolutely recommend this office if you are looking for dental care. The dental hygienists and dental assistants are wonderful also. The front office staff is skilled at helping explain coverage and pre-authorizing treatment so there are no surprises. You are never treated like a number!

Always accommodating. From the appointment scheduling to re-scheduling to following up with reminders. All flows well. Appointments are prompt and everyone is in a good mood, even when you know they're not having their best day. Insurances are explained completely. Costs are always known before anything happens. Dental work is second to none. This is actually one of my simple pleasures.

Brentwood dentistry is by far the best dentistry I have ever been to. The staff are kind and courteous and remember you! From cleanings to fillings I could not recommend them higher.

Being someone who (embarrassingly) is still terrified of the dentist, Dr. Garner and his staff are so calm and welcoming it puts even us big babies at ease.
