Goldilocks Loves Home Teeth Whitening Trays
Here’s a story to help you appreciate the benefits of Home Teeth Whitening Trays…
Remember Goldilocks and the Three Bears?
Goldilocks found that by sitting in each chair, sampling from each bowl of porridge, and lying down in each bed, she discovered that in each case, Baby Bear’s size and portion was “just right” for her.
As a Toronto Teeth Whitening Dentist, I’m like Goldilocks in that I find that of the 3 main choices for Teeth Whitening, one’s too hot, one’s too cold, and one’s just right.
Laser Whitening is too hot. It’s fast aggressive and that can create extra pain on top of the extra cost. Some people don’t mind the heat and want it extra fast.
Whitening Strips are too cold. They slow, too much fuss and irritating to your gums. It’s less expensive, but you can expect extra hassle and more discomfort. Some people have the perseverance to pull this off, but most find they don’t get the best teeth whitening results with strips.
Whitening Toothpaste does more harm than good, so it doesn’t even qualify among the 3 choices.
For a lot of people, the Custom Bleaching Trays are “just right” when it comes to whitening your teeth.
It comes down to speed, comfort and cost. The pace is reasonable and any sensitivity can easily be managed. The cost is also reasonable, since you’re doing most of the work yourself.
Bleaching Trays Deliver BEST Teeth Whitening Results
As far as results, I think Custom Bleaching Trays consistently deliver the BEST results.
Why? With the benefits of convenient delivery, reasonable pace and ability to control sensitivity, people are willing to finish the process.
I can’t tell you how many times I see people abandon the Whitening Strips because they’re too slow and too fussy. Easily half the Teeth Whitening cases we do are for people who tried Whitening Strips and got discouraged by the slow changes and sore gums.
Laser Teeth Whitening works quickly, but you still need the Take-Home System with the custom trays to even out the patchy results you’ll get from one laser session in the chair.
If money is no object and you can pony up for more Laser Whitening sessions in the chair. Personally, I think you’re much better off finishing the job with the Take-Home Teeth Whitening.
How Do Custom Trays Work?
The key to the Home Teeth Whitening Trays is that your custom trays fit precisely onto your teeth.
These custom trays become the “delivery vehicle” for the Teeth Whitening gel to be applied to your teeth.
The gel itself is a thick, glue-like Carbamide Peroxide solution that is held suspended against your teeth by the trays.
You get high concentration and long exposure time. That’s the secret to getting the best teeth whitening results.
If the trays are poor fitting they won’t work properly. Too much teeth whitening gel leaks out and too much saliva leaks in.
As a Toronto Teeth Whitening Dentist my bottom line is happy patients with white smiles, and the last thing I want to see is poor-fitting trays.
Is Teeth Whitening Gel all the same?
Be careful about which teeth whitening gel you choose. There are only a few I would ever trust to put on a patient’s teeth.
As a warning, some cheaper products have been found to actually contain acidic ingredients that will damage the surface of your teeth.
I trust the Nite-White products from Discus. They’re a company out of California that has long been a leader in the Teeth Whitening field.
The current Nite-White teeth whitening gel formula contains an effective desensitizing agent and ACP (Amorphous Calium Phosphate) to strengthen your teeth instead of weakening them.
Toronto Teeth Whitening Dentist LOVES Home Teeth Whitening Trays:
I have a lot of experience with Teeth Whitening and I’m a big supporter of Custom Bleaching Trays. Ultimately I want positive outcomes – happy patients with beautiful white smiles. Home teeth whitening trays consistently delivers that for my patients.
If you want the best Teeth Whitening results, I highly recommend using teeth whitening gel in custom bleaching trays.

I am very pleased with RYD. I have already mentioned your office to several friends and family after only two visits. Thanks for a great dental experience.
I was so pleased to go to a progressive and state of the art dental office (not to mention so close to home!) and so attuned with new dentistry proceedures and techniques.
I get that easy, calm feeling you get when someone is taking care of you, like when you are sitting in the chair getting a good hair cut or a shoe shine or a massage. Totally relaxed, being cared for by a pro at what they do.
When you can balance the feel of a large office and still make each patient feel like the only patient you have created something special, well done.
The staff is always friendly! My hygienist Shaili could be the most pleasant person on the planet. They're also incredible with my children, who really don't mind going to the dentist!
After many years of superb care, I'm still delighted by your passion for improvement. Olya always remembers how to make me comfortable and teaches me techniques to improve my dental health between visits.
No one likes a trip to the dentist, but because all the staff are sensitive to the patient's needs, even my children look forward to visiting! Thank you for the top-notch service you provide.
I used to be afraid of the dentist and hated to go. I even made up excuses and missed appointments. Since reading your ad "we cater to kids of all ages" over 14 years ago, I have never looked back.
Once again, Dr. Bulger, you and your team of professionals were there for me! One visit – you put me together - it’s a miracle - now I am able to smile with confidence. Wow! Thank you!
I am a returning patient, after living out of town for the past 5 years, and I look forward to receiving my dental services again from Royal York Dental. It gives me real comfort to know that I can trust the quality, service and cleanliness provided by this team.
A dental professional told me "You have to go to Royal York Dental. I've spent well over 20 hours in the chair to complete all the work for my smile. I LOVE my new smile and I can't tell you how many positive comments I've received to date.
Going to the dentist has become such a treat since I've started coming to Royal York Dental! I feel confident that from the moment I walk through the doors, I will be well taken care of.
