Your source for a whiter, brighter smile..
Teeth whitening involves wearing a thin, transparent plastic tray molded to your teeth, which is used to hold a whitening agent in contact with the tooth surface.
The active agent in the bleach is usually carbamide peroxide. This chemical quickly breaks down into urea and 7% hydrogen peroxide. It is the hydrogen peroxide that lightens the teeth.
Yes. Hydrogen peroxide, the whitening agent, is actually produced in the body in small amounts, and its effects have been studied for many years.
Dentists know the whitening process should not be abused, because repeated bleaching beyond the recommended level can damage enamel.
Minor complications are uncommon, but may include slight gum irritation and increased cold sensitivity in the enamel.
Before whitening, it is a good idea to ask your dentist whether your teeth are likely to bleach evenly. Whitening will not change certain types of discoloration caused by antibiotic use during childhood.
The difference is the custom-fitted tray. At your first visit, your dentist takes models of your teeth. These trays are made specifically for your mouth and will not fit anyone else.
They are made of a very thin, clear plastic material.
Our whitening solution contains 16% carbamide peroxide, which bleaches the tooth enamel. It is a sticky, clear gel that is gentle, safe, and easy to use.
It also has a pleasant peppermint taste and carries the ADA seal of approval.
<Your dentist will give you a kit including the custom mouthpiece, whitening material, and instructions. You load the whitening gel into the trays and wear them on your teeth daily.
A common treatment plan is to wear the mouthpiece for two-hour sessions, once a day, for 14 days.
Your dentist may schedule a follow-up visit to check your progress.
If side effects become bothersome, talk with your dentist.
Experience has shown very few unsatisfactory cases. In fact, we have been impressed by the beautiful results achieved over the past 10 years.
The whitening is permanent, however teeth can still become dirty and will continue to age naturally over time.
No. The active ingredients in whitening toothpastes are present in much lower concentrations than those in professional whitening kits, and they are quickly washed off the tooth surface by saliva.
