IS WHITENING SAFE?
Tooth whitening is the number one patient-requested cosmetic procedure in dentistry today. Since its introduction, millions of patients have undergone some form of tooth bleaching. There have been numerous studies over the years showing that hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide based tooth whitening systems are safe and effective. If today’s hydrogen peroxide based tooth whitening systems were proven unsafe in any way, the multi-billion dollar industry as we know it would not exist.
HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS LAST?
Individual results will vary depending on the consumer’s habits and their unique dental make-up, but it is safe to say that the initial results will last the average consumer up to one year. Over time, and for the very same reasons that caused the teeth to discolor in the first place, the consumer will notice their teeth darkening again.
Consumers who smoke cigarettes or drink heavy quantities of dark, acidic liquids like: coffee, tea, red wine, colas, etc., will have to touch up their teeth more often than people who do not.
ARE THERE ANY ADVERSE SIDE EFFECTS?
There are relatively few side effects from tooth whitening. A very small percentage of consumers may experience some sensitivity during a whitening procedure. This discomfort, which typically goes away within 24 hours after discontinuing the whitening, is minimized with our technology because we use a lower percentage of peroxide and our treatment takes less than twenty minutes, minimizing long term exposure to the gel.
WILL MY FILLINGS AND CROWNS BE AFFECTED BY THE WHITENING?
While hydrogen peroxide will have no negative effect on the integrity of fillings and crowns, the simple fact is that these materials will not whiten in any type of bleaching procedure. However, the procedure will remove stains and clean composite dental work.
IS WHITENING FOR EVERYONE?
Pregnant and nursing mothers, children under the age of 14, and diabetics should consult their physician prior to undergoing any whitening procedure. Consumers with severely tetracycline stained teeth may opt for a more aggressive cosmetic procedure like bonding and veneers.
