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.
