Home Teeth Whitening in New York, NY

For patients who want to whiten their teeth efficiently in the comfort of their own home, New York cosmetic dentist, Dr. Jason Kasarsky creates home teeth whitening kits with custom mouth trays. Patients will wear these comfortable trays with a prescription-strength bleaching gel each day until they achieve their whitening goals. For full results, most patients use their home teeth whitening kit for at least one month. Unlike over-the-counter teeth whitening products, Dr. Kasarsky’s home teeth whitening kits are customized for each patient and this helps them get their brightest smile fast.

At the office, the dentist will make molds of the patient’s teeth to create a custom-made dental tray. These trays protect the gums from the whitening gel, as contact may be harmful and it also minimizes discomfort and irritation during the treatment. Once at home, the patient will fill the tray with prescription strength whitening gel and leave in for a designated amount of time, typically 45 minutes, each day. Some patients may see visible results after one treatment, but most patients need 2 – 4 weeks to see their full results. 

On average, home teeth whitening kits cost $400, however this varies based on the patient’s current tooth color and goals. The dentist will go over the patient’s options and associated costs during the initial consultation.

Unlike over-the-counter teeth whitening products, home kits from the dentist use a higher quality and concentration of bleaching agent. Whitening kits from the dentist are also custom fit to the patient’s mouth, so they are more comfortable and whiten the teeth evenly.

Home teeth whitening kits are safe when patients follow all of the product instructions. The dentist may also have tips and recommendations to help the patient get their best results.

Home whitening treatments are usually worn for about 45 minutes a day, everyday, until the desired shade is achieved. Patients may use the kit for as little as one week or over a month. If the patient is not seeing the results they want, they should return to their dentist for other whitening options.

Dr. Jason Kasarsky provides his patients with a custom home whitening kit so they can work on having a brighter smile at their own pace and in the comfort of their own home.
