At Gateshead Dental, we offer two procedures you can choose from to whiten your teeth.

Custom Whitening Trays. Custom-made acrylic trays are fitted to your upper and lower teeth. You can take the trays with you and apply them from the comfort of your own home. The trays can be used daily with a whitening gel for two-to-four weeks.

This is one of the most effective and safest teeth whitening treatments around. The custom trays are made to fit your mouth and ensure the whitening gel doesn’t leak into your gums and cause irritation.

Non-Custom Trays. This method comes packaged with stock trays prefilled with teeth whitening gel. While results are not as long lasting as those with the custom tray, the procedure can give good results to people whose teeth don’t have a high degree of discolouration. The other advantage of this system is that it is less expensive and it’s still more effective than the trays you can buy at the store.
