Do you want a brighter, whiter smile in the comfort of your own home? When whitening your teeth at home, safety is essential. We provide a safe and effective at-home teeth whitening kit that includes everything you need. You can whiten your teeth whenever it suits you best — whether you’re watching your favorite show or even while you sleep.

At-home whitening is not only practical but also cost-effective in the long run. Once we have made your custom whitening moulds, you can reuse them again and again and only purchase additional whitening gel from our clinic.

At-home whitening is also an excellent way to enhance and maintain the results of an in-office power whitening treatment.

How to get your at-home teeth whitening kit

• Start by booking a free whitening assessment. In the appointment booking form, write “at-home whitening” in the additional information field. During the assessment, we check that your mouth is healthy and suitable for whitening. Any gum inflammation must be treated and tartar removed before starting the whitening.
• Fabrication of the whitening molds. The dental hygienist takes impressions of your teeth, and based on these, a dental technician at Oral’s dental laboratory creates your individually tailored whitening molds.
• Fitting the molds and instructions for use. The dental hygienist ensures the moulds fit properly and guides you in the safe use of the at-home whitening treatment. You will receive the molds and whitening gels to take home, and you can begin whitening whenever it suits you. Continue the whitening process until you’ve reached your desired result.

What should you consider before booking an appointment?

Teeth whitening treatments are not performed on individuals under 18, as tooth development is still ongoing in younger patients. Whitening is also not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Please note that whitening does not affect prosthetic crowns, veneers, or filling materials.

Teeth whitening cannot be paid for with Edenred, Smartum, or ePassi benefits, as aesthetic treatments are not included in the wellness benefit according to the guidelines of the Finnish Tax Administration.

Instructions for using Oral’s at-home whitening kit

Please note that at-home whitening should always be carried out on a clean and healthy mouth. Any caries and gingivitis should be treated and tartar removed before whitening treatments.
Whiten your teeth in a place where you can spit out any excess whitening product or saliva that builds up in your mouth.

Eat and drink before carrying out at-home whitening, as it is recommended that you avoid acidic foods and those that could cause staining (e.g. blueberries, curry, soya, citrus fruits, cola, red wine, coffee, tea) for two hours after using the whitening moulds.

How to carry out at-home whitening:

1. Brush your teeth (without toothpaste) and clean the interdental spaces before starting the whitening.

2. Squeeze a small drop of the whitening gel into the whitening mould:

• Place the gel in the mould so that it spreads across the fronts of the front ten teeth (see picture).
• Do not squeeze the gel in the bottom of the mould, as this will spread the gel on both sides of the dental arch. Instead, try to apply the gel to the inner front of the mould, which will put the gel on the front surfaces of your teeth.
• No more whitening gel than this is necessary – it will not give a better result, and will just overflow out of the mould.

3. Close the cap of the gel dispenser immediately after application.

4. Dry your teeth with paper and place the whitening mould against the dental arch, then press it lightly against your teeth with your finger to spread the gel across the front surfaces of your teeth. If there is excess gel on the gums at the edges of the mould, you can wipe it off with a cotton swab or piece of paper, for example. Try to avoid swallowing the whitening gel.

5. Recommended usage time for whitening gel

• 6% hydrogen peroxide whitening gel:
  Every day, approximately 60 minutes at a time, for 5–10 days, depending on the desired result.
• 15% carbamide peroxide whitening gel:
  At night for about eight hours at a time or during the day for about three hours at a time, for 3–8 days, depending on the desired result.

6. At the end of the treatment, clean your teeth and the whitening mould with a soft brush using cold water.

7. Store the whitening moulds in a dry place in the case provided with the whitening kit, for later whitening. Make sure that the moulds are airtight and not twisted in the case , so that they maintain their original shape.

8. You can do a new whitening treatment after six months or a year, depending on your needs.

Things to consider when using at-home whitening treatments:

• Do not use whitening gel if you are allergic to peroxide products.
• Dental whitening is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or for anyone under the age of 18.
• Keep the whitening gel in the refrigerator.
• The whitening product has no effect on dental fillings, crowns or dental implants.
• Do not use tobacco products on days when you are using whitening moulds.
• Do not eat or drink with the at-home whitening moulds in your mouth.
• Keep whitening products out of the reach of children.
