What is LumiBrite take-home whitening?
LumiBrite is a professional-grade whitening system from DenMat, designed for use in custom trays at home. Unlike one-size-fits-all strips or store kits, it uses a dental-grade peroxide gel — and because your trays are made to fit your teeth exactly, the gel stays where it belongs (on your enamel, not your gums) for more even whitening and less sensitivity.
Custom whitening trays, made with digital scanning
The secret to comfortable, effective take-home whitening is the fit of the trays — and that's where our digital scanner comes in:
1. We take a quick, goop-free digital scan of your teeth — no messy impression putty.
2. That scan is used to fabricate custom trays that hug your teeth precisely.
3. We dispense your LumiBrite gel and show you exactly how to use it.
A precise fit holds the gel evenly against every tooth and keeps it off your gums.
How to use your LumiBrite take-home system
Your dentist will tailor instructions to your gel and goals, but the routine generally looks like this:
1. Brush your teeth before whitening.
2. Place a small dot of LumiBrite gel in each tooth section of the tray — a little goes a long way; overfilling can irritate your gums.
3. Seat the tray gently and wipe away any gel that squeezes out.
4. Wear as directed — wear time depends on the gel concentration we provide (some formulas are worn for a short daytime period, others overnight). Follow the schedule we give you.
5. Remove and rinse your mouth and the trays; store the trays clean and dry.
6. If you notice sensitivity, take a day or two off, use a sensitivity toothpaste, and let us know.
Always follow the specific wear times your dentist provides and the directions included with your LumiBrite product — concentrations and timing vary.

Teeth whitening FAQs
Is professional teeth whitening safe? Dentist-supervised whitening with custom trays is safe for most patients. We check your teeth and gums first and tailor the gel to minimize sensitivity.
Will it make my teeth sensitive? Some people notice temporary sensitivity. Custom trays and the right concentration reduce it, and it usually fades quickly.
How white will my teeth get? It depends on your starting shade and the cause of staining — we'll set realistic expectations. Whitening doesn't change the colour of fillings, crowns, or veneers.
How long do results last? With occasional top-ups using your trays, results can last a long time. Coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking fade them faster.
