- Teeth Whitening: Dr. Gennero provides a convenient teeth whitening system you can use from the comfort of your own home. Dr. Gennero will first take an impression of your teeth. The impression will be used to create a custom-made whitening tray. She will then prescribe a special bleaching gel. Simply wear the gel-filled tray daily for the time recommended by Dr. Gennero. Soon, you will see dramatic results.
