Transformation: From Impressions to Customised Whitening Trays, By: Barsha


Teeth whitening; everyone knows about it and the benefits of it. This blog will give you an insight of how your teeth whitening trays are made – the fun process from your visit to dentist, taking an impression of your teeth, to handing you your beautiful set of customised trays.

Any occasions in your life is a special one and we are here to help you look and feel your best during these moments. A beautiful smile is always a head turner, so we are your here to help give you that celebrity smile.

Here I will take you on a journey from your teeth impressions being carried out, to our lab, until it finally reaches you.

What are the different ways to whiten your teeth?

Here at The Behrens Dental Practice, we provide two types of whitening:

• Home whitening: This option allows you to control your progress • In surgery zoom whitening: This 2 hour in chair session is instant and although both methods are equally as good, it depends on your time, commitment and preferences.

What makes a good whitening tray?

A good set of teeth impressions are necessary so the teeth models are defined and correct. Secondly, a good mix while making the model is required, therefore a lot of practice, care, patience and effort is needed during the process of making perfect whitening trays.

Trays should not have any leakage, this contributes towards prolonging/delaying of your whitening progress. A good trays should not have any sharp edges that can discomforts your mouth in any way. It should not feel too tight or too loose while putting them on your mouth.  A good whitening trays needs to fit the mouth like a Cinderella’s lost shoe (hypothetically speaking), like it is only made for you.

What are the advantages of a good whitening tray?

The fact that the trays are customised means the trays will only fit you, which will enhance your process of whitening. The way our lab creates whitening trays, they are sealed properly around the teeth therefore no leakage, no chance of gum irritation, or white spots.

This is where we play the role of your very own tooth fairy to help you smile with confidence” By Barsha
