Custom trays let you carry out supervised whitening at home, at a gradual pace. Learn what the routine asks of you and how the dental team stays involved.
Let's find a time
The idea of whitening at home, on your own time, appeals to many people. If you live in Old Kildonan, in Winnipeg, and that is the option you are leaning toward, it is worth learning what the routine really involves, because it asks more of you than a clinic session would.
Custom trays hold gel prescribed for you around your teeth for a set amount of time, with colour changing across several applications. An examination at our McPhillips Street clinic comes first, and the dentist will tell you whether trays suit your teeth or whether another approach makes more sense.

A tray fitted for your teeth is a different thing from the one-size options sold in stores.
Gradual change across repeated applications gives you more control over the speed of progress.
Your dental team prescribes the gel, sets the directions, and wants to hear about any problems.
Trays are simple to understand but rely on your follow-through. Knowing both the upside and the commitment can help you decide if this is the right fit.
Their flexibility is the main appeal for many patients, particularly those with unpredictable weeks.
Your result relies on following directions as closely as you can, across each and every application.
A combination of clinic care and trays is occasionally recommended, and your dentist can explain whether that would make sense in your case.
Trays are not handed out without a check of your mouth. A typical path to starting them might look something like this.
Request your visitYour preference helps frame the conversation, along with anything about your schedule that could make a home routine easier or harder.
We examine your teeth and gums, and we note restorations, recession, and sensitivity that might influence whether trays suit you.
If they are suitable for you, trays are made to fit your teeth, your gel is prescribed, and you can go over how to use them before starting.
Apply the gel as instructed and contact the clinic with concerns. Ask at the start how progress is meant to be reviewed in your case.
Trays reward consistency. Before your visit, think honestly about when you could wear them, and whether stretches of travel or shift work might get in the way.
If you worry about keeping up with a home routine, say so. A clinic-based approach might be a better match, and the dentist would want to know.
The waiting area and a treatment room at our Winnipeg clinic.
Without a clinician beside you, you are the first person who will notice how your teeth are responding. A brief sensitivity is common, but it is good to know how to respond.
Let the clinic know. Changing the contact time or frequency, or adding a desensitizing product, are possibilities your dentist can consider.
Do not wait for it to pass if your gums stay sore. Phone and describe what you are noticing for advice on what to do.
Doubling up on sessions or gel does not make your plan better, and it can bring on additional irritation.
Once your application schedule ends
Finishing your schedule does not mean the conversation has to end. Your new shade will change gradually, so ask what the sensible next steps would be for you.
Ask what the clinic suggests for cleaning and keeping your trays, in case you are advised to use them again.
An occasional top-up may be appropriate, but get your dentist’s guidance on when and how you should do one.
A new crown or large filling can affect tray fit, so check before using your trays again afterward.
Lost a tray or noticed it no longer sits properly? Call the clinic and explain before attempting to use it.

Helpful details about teeth whitening in Old Kildonan.
Ask our teamCustom trays are made for your teeth and hold gel prescribed by your dental team. They also come after an examination, which a store-bought kit cannot provide.
Wear time is something your dental team directs for your specific plan. Please follow those instructions, as wearing trays beyond the directed time can add to irritation.
Progress with trays takes place over several applications, while a clinic session is concentrated into an appointment. Slower does not mean worse, as control over the pace is what many people want.
Do not try to compensate by doubling up or adding extra gel. If you are unsure what to do next, call the clinic and ask how to continue with your plan.
Those restorations will not change colour, though natural teeth next to them may lighten. This is checked before you begin so that you know how they could look after whitening.
Yes, you need an examination so a dentist can confirm that your oral health is suitable and arrange your custom trays. Ask at that point what follow-up is expected for you.
