Deluxe Teeth Whitening Kit

FAQ'S

Is this the Same Teeth Whitening product available in Supermarkets and Drugstores? No. Our Teeth Whitening Kits contain Professional Strength, 22% Carbamide Perioxide Whitening Gel, the same strength Dentists send home with their patients. However, if you went to your dentist for this kit, the cost would be between $200.00-$350.00

Is teeth bleaching really safe? Yes, years of bleaching treatments by dental offices have proven that bleaching is safe. If directions for use are followed, home application is also, safe. If problems such as teeth sensitivity or gum irritations are experienced, the frequency of use should be reduced from every day to every other day. Some people experience mild to moderate teeth sensitivity however, it normally subsides a day or so following completion of treatment.

How does the bleaching treatment work? A rubber mold-able "tray" or mouthpiece is submerged into hot water for 5 seconds until soft and a bite impression is taken for fit. After shaping the trays for upper and lower teeth, the whitening gel, which contains active ingredient Carbamide Peroxide, is applied to individual trays and inserted into the mouth and over the teeth. One tray at a time is left in place for 20 minutes. Extending treatment times for faster whitening may be alright if teeth are not over-sensitive. As the gel is activated, a slight tingling or bubbling sensation may be felt, which is the oxidation process taking place. Treatment should be done on upper and lower teeth each day until desired whitening is achieved. Twice a day treatments may also, achieve faster whitening results if teeth and gum sensitivity is not apparent.

What occurs during bleaching? During the bleaching process, the active ingredient in the gel, Carbamide Peroxide, is broken down and oxygen enters the tooth enamel bleaching embedded discolored substances (stains). The structure of the tooth is not changed; only the tooth enamel becomes a lighter and whiter shade. Fillings, crowns, bridges and bondings, etc. are not affected.

What is Carbamide Peroxide? Carbamide Peroxide is the primary active ingredient or bleaching agent in the professional whitening gel. It is essentially a variation of Hydrogen Peroxide and combined with the unique adherence properties of the specially formulated gel, it provides the chemical reaction required to safely whiten your teeth. The Clinical Pharmacology Classification of Carbamide Peroxide states that there are "No significant interactions", although some teeth sensitivity or minor gum irritation may be experienced, which normally subsides a day or so after completion of treatment.

How long will it take until my teeth are whiter? Whitening results often become apparent during the first few treatments, but typically, a very noticeable whitening effect becomes evident after about 8-10 treatments. Teeth will continue to whiten with each successive treatment until desired results are achieved.

How long do results last? For most people, the treatment is long lasting. Exposure to coffees, teas, tobacco, red wines and certain other stain producing substances will eventually darken teeth again over time. After initial treatment, some people do touch-ups every 6-8 months based on the amount of stain producing substances that they are exposed to. The Bleach Pro Teeth Whitening System is not a "supermarket" type whitening kit and is considerably stronger than most "As Seen On TV" type kits. The active ingredient in the whitening gel, Carbamide Peroxide is in professional dental office strength.

Why choose "Sunshine Smiles" Professional Bleaching Kit over a dentist's bleaching treatment? The teeth bleaching gel within the "Sunshine Smailes" Teeth Whitening kit was developed by a Doctor of Cosmetic Dentistry and the quality product is used by dental offices worldwide. From the moldable trays to the gel containing active ingredient Carbamide Peroxide to the at-home procedures, the treatment is essentially what a professional dentist would prescribe. The difference is what you pay! Sunshine Smiles is able to provide bleaching kits through direct manufacturing and offer the same treatment that dentists use at substantially lower cost. Dental offices apply huge product mark-ups to cover their overhead; facilities, equipment, staff, time, administration, etc. Why pay more for the same thing?

Will teeth whiteners damage tooth enamel? Studies involving 10% carbamide peroxide whiteners have found minimal or no effect on the microhardness or mineral content of tooth enamel surfaces. Scanning electron microscope studies of the enamel of teeth which have been bleached have typically not shown any damage either. In relative terms, studies have shown that exposure to soft drinks and fruit juices cause comparable or greater alteration of tooth enamel than tooth whiteners.
