| How
does BleachBright work? |
| |
Using
our one size fits all double sided mouthpiece/lens, you
will receive BleachBright products that are impregnated
with 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 will break
into water molecules and free oxygen radicals. The oxygen
radicals combined with carbon-based molecules in the stained
teeth proceed to make all stains clear. 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? |
| |
6 months to
two years is not unusual, but we do recommend that you now
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 would recommend
it as a daily maintenance and to use it especially for special
events, dates, and/or engagements; 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. You
must make sure the dosage is of legal limits and not excessive
and administered in a professional manor. People with tooth
decay and with any type of gum disease should avoid this
treatment. Never treat a pregnant woman; no known side effects
are affirmed but 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 have little result. 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. On the contrary, 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, are 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. Typically,
stains come from exposure to tea, coffee, smoking, juices,
colas, wine, age, or just about anything that would stain
a white tee 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, white gum line, or
sensitivity, all of which are normal and hold no real danger.
Typically, this will only last from a couple of hours not
to exceed 24 hours. |
| How
long before I can eat or drink after my treatment? |
| |
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 tee shirt stained it will stain your teeth. |
