Holland MI Teeth Whitening Dentists

If you’re considering teeth whitening, professional take-home whitening trays from our cosmetic dentists in Holland, MI, offer a fantastic solution. These trays are custom-made to fit your unique dental structure, providing a more effective and safe whitening experience than over-the-counter options.

Here are 10 benefits of using take-home whitening trays from our dentists.

1. Custom Fit for Optimal Comfort

Unlike one-size-fits-all products, take-home whitening trays are tailored to your teeth. This custom fit means the trays are comfortable to wear and less likely to irritate your gums or surrounding tissues.

2. Even Whitening Results

Custom whitening trays distribute the gel evenly across all visible areas of your teeth, ensuring a uniform color. This even application helps prevent the uneven, patchy results that often come with store-bought whitening products.

3. Professional-Grade Whitening Gel

Take-home trays from our Holland dentists use a higher-quality whitening gel compared to over-the-counter kits. This professional-grade gel can provide faster, more noticeable results, helping you achieve a brighter smile in less time.

4. Gradual, Natural-Looking Results

One of the advantages of take-home trays is the gradual whitening process, which allows you to achieve natural-looking results. Gradual dental whitening can also minimize sensitivity, as the enamel isn’t exposed to high-intensity whitening agents all at once.

5. Convenience and Flexibility

With custom teeth whitening trays, you can whiten your teeth at your convenience. You have the flexibility to whiten at home, during downtime, or even while you relax in the evening, making it easy to incorporate into your routine.

6. Safe for Long-Term Use

Since they are supervised by our cosmetic dentists, take-home whitening trays are safe for long-term use. The custom fit minimizes the risk of gum irritation, while the dentist-prescribed gel strength ensures that your enamel is protected throughout the process.

7. Easy Maintenance and Touch-Ups

If you want to maintain your bright smile, custom trays make touch-ups easy. You can periodically apply the gel using your custom trays to keep your teeth consistently white, especially after consuming staining foods or beverages.

8. Cost-Effective Over Time

Though the initial cost may be higher than store-bought products, professional teeth whitening trays are more cost-effective in the long run. You can reuse your trays, and with periodic touch-ups, the trays offer lasting results, saving you money on frequent replacements.

9. Reduced Tooth Sensitivity

Many people experience tooth sensitivity with over-the-counter whitening products. Take-home trays from our dentists allow for a controlled, gradual process, which reduces the risk of sensitivity and makes whitening more comfortable for sensitive teeth.

10. Monitored Results and Safety

By using dentist-supervised whitening trays, you have the peace of mind that a professional is monitoring your progress. Our cosmetic dentists in Holland, MI, will guide you on how long to use the trays, when to perform touch-ups, and how to address any concerns, ensuring a safe and effective whitening journey.

COVID-19 UPDATE FROM DR. HABECKER AND HIS TEAM

Dear Patient Family,

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a difficult time for all of us. Many of you have been forced to wait for dental care and we appreciate your understanding while we kept our office closed to follow orders from the Governor's Office.

We are happy to say that we are opening our office for all patient treatment on June 1st, 2020. Our hours of operation will go back to normal, Monday-Thursday 8am - 5pm. We want you to know that there will be some changes at your next appointment. Please be patient with us as our protocols will inevitably change as new guidelines are released.

  • We ask that you use our parking lot as the waiting room.
  • Please wear a mask when you come into the office and leave it on until entering the treatment room. Homemade is acceptable.
  • Only the person receiving treatment should come in the building, all others will be asked to wait in the car if at all possible. The exception will be for our minor patients who may have one parent accompany them.
  • We will be asking you some questions when you arrive at the office and we will also be taking your temperature.
  • We will not be able to offer magazines, drinks, or toys at this time as they cannot be disinfected to our standards. Eventually this will change and we will be happy to offer our amenities once again.

These changes have been made to adhere to the latest CDC guidelines and for the benefit of our patients and our staff. We want you to know that our office has always taken the safety of our patients very seriously and that we will continue to follow the highest levels of sterilization and disinfection to keep you protected. If you would like more information on what measures we have taken we would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

We cannot say how excited we are to see all of our patients again and to provide for their dental needs. We look forward to seeing all of your smiling faces soon!

Dr. Habecker and Team
