The custom trays we create for professional dental whitening are specifically designed to fit your mouth with precision. These trays are carefully trimmed to avoid contact with the gums, ensuring that the bleaching agent is applied only to the teeth and not to the soft tissues. This is important because whitening gel can cause irritation if it comes into prolonged contact with the gums, particularly for individuals with sensitive gums or mild gingivitis.
If the bleaching gel sits against inflamed gum tissue, it may cause a slight stinging or tingling sensation. By customizing and trimming the trays properly, we help minimize the risk of irritation and provide a more comfortable whitening experience. This design ensures that the whitening agent remains in place on the teeth, optimizing the effectiveness of the treatment while reducing any potential discomfort.
If you have any concerns about gum sensitivity or how the whitening process works, we are happy to provide guidance and recommendations to ensure a safe and effective experience.
