These trays are designed to fit perfectly to your teeth, ensuring even and effective whitening. By following our detailed instructions and recommendations, you can safely and comfortably achieve the dazzling smile you’ve always wanted. Remember to monitor your progress and reach out to us if you have any concerns during your teeth whitening journey.
Instructions
- Twist the top of the seal-syringe applicator to align the tip with the black O-ring
- Extrude a small drop of the Life-Like gel into each tooth indentation of your Progressive Dental custom bleaching tray. You need just 1/4cc of gel to properly load the tray. If the material is too difficult to get out of the applicator, trim back the tip with scissors.
- Place the tray in your mouth. Using 1/4cc should leave NO significant excess of material. (A tiny drop goes a long way!)
- Wear the trays two times a day for 30-60 minutes each time.
- Rinse or brush out your tray to remove excess material after each treatment.
- Repeat this procedure for 14-28 days. Monitor your results until you have achieved the results you want. MAKE SURE TO REFRIGERATE THE WHITNENING GEL WHEN NOT IN USE!
Suggestions
- Refrain from eating, drinking, or smoking for 30 minutes after wearing the whitnening gel. Also avoid citrus to minimize possible discomfort.
- Tooth sensitivity can be expected during whitening treatments. If sensitivity should occur, wait 24hrs before resuming treatments. If sensitivity persists, please schedule a follow-up with your dentist.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call the office.

Once an insurance transaction has occurred, and your dental benefit provider pays our office directly, then only your co-payment is expected at future appointments.
