| How
does BleachBright work? |
| |
Using
our one-size-fits-all, double-sided mouthpiece/lens, the BleachBright treatment utilizes a special whitening gel and other essential ingredients.
A commercial spectrum blue LED (BB Plus), with precise settings,
is positioned between the upper and lower teeth. This formulation
forces activation. Carbamide Peroxide and oxygen breaks
into water molecules and frees oxygen radicals. The oxygen
radicals combined with carbon-based molecules in the stained
teeth and removes teeth stains. This process will
penetrate the tooth enamel but will not damage the enamel.
This is referred to as a physical stain removal at the speed
of light. |
| How
long will this process last? |
| |
Six months to
two years is not unusual, but we do recommend that you
care for your newly whitened teeth with our new era formulated
KeepBright Pen. Typically, we recommend pursuing another
treatment every six months. |
| How
long does the BleachBright process take and what are the
results? |
| |
Results can
vary as everyone is different. The grade of your teeth and
your age can affect the process, but we recommend a 15-20
minute treatment. |
| How
often should I use the maintenance product, KeepBright Pen? |
| |
We recommend
the KeepBright pen for daily maintenance and for special
events, dates, and/or engagements, and anytime you are meeting
with the public. |
| Is
BleachBright safe? |
| |
Research has
shown that if the teeth and gums are normal and healthy,
there are no adverse effects to bleaching one's teeth. The dosage must be within legal limits and administered in a professional manor. People with tooth
decay and any type of gum disease should avoid this
treatment. While there is no known side effects for pregnant women, it is simply a precaution. Vitamin E is
always used to reduce any irritation. |
| Who
may benefit from the BleachBright system? |
| |
Almost everyone
will enjoy a benefit to the bleaching process if teeth and
gums are healthy. Remember, teeth can not be bleached whiter
than genetically possible. Tetracycline stain can not be
removed. Also any stains resulting from excessive fluorides
or porous teeth will be resistant to removal. Excluding the above,
about 95% of our clients experience success. |
| I have
a crown on my anterior or front teeth. Will your product
whiten my crown? |
| |
No, but the
standard procedure is to first whiten all adjacent teeth,
wait two weeks for the color to stabilize, then go to your
dentist and have him match the crown to the new shade of
your teeth. Alternatively, if a crown is already been
in place for many years, the whitening process can return
the rest of the teeth to the original shade prior to the
crown placement. The same goes for composites, bridges,
and veneers. |
| Will
the gel and peroxide you offer be the same as from my family
dentist? |
| |
Absolutely.
Our partner in dentistry actually supplies a great deal
of product to dentist offices throughout the nation. Our
carbamide peroxide, although at legal limits, in many
cases more potent than what your dentist will supply. The
key to the success of our whitening system is our blue light
technology, which increases the potency of whitening in fraction
of the time and cost. |
| Is
this procedure done by a dentist? |
| |
This bleaching
process is provided by professionals in the teeth whitening
business and are not necessarily a dentist. |
| What
causes stains? |
| |
Some teeth are
naturally pigmented or stained as they develop. Stains also typically come from exposure to tea, coffee, smoking, juices,
colas, wine, age, or just about anything that would stain
a white t-shirt. This is why we highly recommend the KeepWhite
Pen to stay bright. |
| Are
there any side effects? |
| |
Some people
may feel a little tingling sensation, notice a white gum line, or experience some
sensitivity, all of which are normal and hold no real danger.
Typically, this will only last from 2to no more than 24 hours. |
| How
long before I can eat or drink after my treatment? |
| |
In the first 24
hours we would recommend to avoid coffee, tea, dark colored
sodas, red wines, berries, candy, red sauces, beets, or
any foods that have the propensity to stain. Remember: if
it leaves a t-shirt stained, it will stain your teeth. |
