Take-home whitening trays Downtown Los Angeles. Dr. Kevin Chin at City of Angels Dentistry provides custom-fitted professional take-home whitening trays with pharmaceutical-grade gel — whiten at home at your own pace.
Custom take-home whitening trays are one of the most practical whitening options for Downtown LA patients who want professional results but don't want to schedule an in-office session. Dr. Kevin Chin has been providing custom tray whitening at City of Angels Dentistry since 2018, and the tray fabrication is straightforward: one appointment for impressions, a short wait for fabrication, and then you whiten at home on your own schedule indefinitely. The trays last for years and refill gel is available as needed.
Dr. Chin takes precise impressions of your teeth. Your custom trays are fabricated to fit exactly over your teeth with minimal excess space.
Professional-grade whitening gel is loaded into your trays and worn for 1–2 hours per day or overnight depending on the gel concentration. Most patients see results in 1–2 weeks.
Your trays last for years. Refill gel is available from City of Angels Dentistry for ongoing touch-up maintenance. Most patients whiten 1–2 times per year.
Custom take-home whitening trays from City of Angels Dentistry combine a precise custom fit with professional-grade gel to produce gradual professional whitening results at home. Tray fabrication available with same-week appointments in Downtown LA.
Custom take-home whitening trays are professionally fabricated dental trays designed to hold whitening gel against your teeth for gradual professional-strength whitening at home. At City of Angels Dentistry in Downtown LA, Dr. Kevin Chin provides custom take-home trays with pharmaceutical-grade carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide gel as a standalone whitening option or as maintenance following in-office treatment.
Custom trays are fabricated from a precise impression of your specific teeth. They fit snugly over every tooth surface, ensuring the whitening gel contacts all surfaces evenly and stays in contact throughout the wear period. Store-bought trays are one-size-fits-all, fit imprecisely, allow gel to pool away from some surfaces and contact gums on others, and use significantly lower gel concentrations.
Custom whitening trays typically last several years with proper care. They should be rinsed after each use and stored in their case. Refill whitening gel is available from City of Angels Dentistry as needed so the same trays can be used indefinitely.
Take-home trays produce comparable final results to Zoom but over a longer timeline — 1–2 weeks versus one appointment. In-office Zoom is the better choice for patients who want the most dramatic immediate result. Take-home trays are better for patients who prefer gradual whitening on their own schedule or who want an ongoing maintenance option after in-office treatment.
City of Angels Dentistry is at 1127 Wilshire Blvd, Suite 1100 in Downtown LA — accessible from Bunker Hill, the Financial District, the Arts District, Koreatown, Echo Park, and Silver Lake.
This depends on the gel concentration. Lower-concentration gels are worn overnight. Higher-concentration gels are worn for 1–2 hours during the day. Dr. Chin advises on the appropriate schedule based on the gel provided.
Custom tray pricing includes the impressions, fabrication, and initial gel supply. Refill gel is available separately. Pricing is provided at the appointment. Whitening is cosmetic and not covered by dental insurance.
Yes. Custom take-home trays are the ideal maintenance tool after Zoom whitening. Periodic overnight use 1–2 times per year maintains the whitened shade achieved with in-office treatment.
Mild sensitivity during take-home tray whitening is common. Using sensitivity toothpaste in the trays for 30 minutes before whitening, or reducing wear time, usually resolves the issue. Persistent sensitivity should be discussed with Dr. Chin.
