What is it?
Your dentist can recommend a safe, effective whitening
system for you that combines professional supervision
and at-home applications. While in the office, your
dentist will assess your whitening needs and create
a custom-fitted tray or mouthpiece for at-home applications
using a professional whitening paste or gel, such
as Colgate Platinum Professional Whitening System.
What happens?
A custom tray applicator, which is usually made
from an impression of your teeth, will be created
for you in the dental office. At home, you'll apply
a thin layer of whitening paste or gel into the
tray, as directed. Insert the tray, and the whitener
will spread over your teeth for uniform coverage.
Use the product 30 minutes once or twice a day for
14 days, or overnight for 3 - 5 days. Wear as directed
by your dentist for best results.

of the whitening gel.
