Home Teeth Whitening — Pure Whitening System

Elej Dent offers professional home teeth whitening using the Pure Whitening system — custom-fitted trays made from a digital scan of the patient's teeth paired with a 14-night professional whitening gel course stored at refrigerated temperatures to preserve active ingredient potency. The programme begins with a scan appointment at the clinic to fabricate the trays, which the patient then uses at home each night for two weeks. Results are a gradual, even whitening that is gentler on enamel and sensitivity than intensive in-office whitening sessions.

Professional home teeth whitening at Elej Dent uses the Pure Whitening system — a two-phase programme that combines precisely fitted custom trays with refrigerated, high-quality whitening gels for gradual, stable, and enamel-safe whitening over 14 nights. **Why custom trays matter:** Over-the-counter whitening trays use generic one-size shapes that allow the whitening gel to seep onto gum tissue, causing irritation and reducing contact time with the tooth surface. Custom-fitted trays, fabricated from a digital impression of the patient's exact dental arch, fit snugly against every tooth surface with minimal gel overflow — maximising whitening contact and minimising gum exposure. **Pure Whitening gels:** The gels used by Elej Dent are maintained at below 10°C from production through delivery and storage at the clinic. Hydrogen or carbamide peroxide whitening agents are temperature-sensitive — degradation reduces both efficacy and predictability. Cold-chain management ensures the gels arrive and are dispensed at full potency. **14-night protocol:** The patient wears the custom trays loaded with a measured amount of whitening gel for 1–4 hours per night (or overnight, depending on the gel concentration prescribed) for 14 consecutive nights. Most patients achieve their target shade within 10–14 nights; lighter, more sensitive teeth may complete in fewer nights. **Sensitivity management:** Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity during whitening. The clinic advises using fluoride toothpaste, reducing wear time if sensitivity occurs, and avoiding very hot or cold foods during the treatment period. **Combination approach:** For patients seeking faster results, the clinic may recommend a combined protocol where an in-office whitening session follows the home course to achieve maximum brightness. **Maintenance:** After the initial course, the custom trays are retained by the patient for future top-up whitening with a gel refill kit — significantly cheaper than repeating the full programme. Annual or biannual top-ups maintain the result over time. **Timing for orthodontic patients:** Whitening after clear aligner treatment is ideal — the teeth are in their final corrected position, attachments have been removed, and enamel surfaces are clean. Elej Dent can provide whitening as a natural completion step after aligner treatment.
