NITE WHITE BLEACHING SYSTEM
WHAT IS IT? A safe and effective way for most people to lighten their teeth noticeably.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Molds of your mouth are made at our office.
From these we fabricate very small comfortable custom-fitted trays
for your upper and lower teeth. Each night these trays are loaded with
a special bleaching gel and worn to bed. The teeth whiten as you sleep. The change is gradual and results vary for each individual.
If new stains occur in the future a 1-2 night touch-up can be done.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? Optimal results usually
take 2 weeks.
WHO CAN DO THIS? Almost anyone
with their own teeth. Bleaching is especially
effective
on teeth which are naturally somewhat yellow or brown or discoloration resulting from
age, smoking, or other staining habits. Since no studies are available, it is not recommended for women who are pregnant or
lactating. It is also ineffective on denture teeth, crowns or white fillings. Tetracycline-stained teeth usually lighten less
than most other teeth.
HOW MUCH DOES IT
COST? $295.00 full mouth bleaching
HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM STORE OR TV BRANDS? The major difference is that these systems are unable to make a mold of your mouth for
fabricating proper bleaching trays. To compensate for this they must use either ill fitting mouth guards as trays
or no trays at all. This means their product can't be carefully kept in contact with the teeth for extended periods of time.
Mouth guard systems get limited results because they must use weak bleaching materials (because their sloppy fit means the
gums as well as the teeth will be bathed in bleach. No tray systems, on the other hand, allow for only a few minutes of bleaching
at a time. They sometimes attempt to get better results by using dangerously concentrated bleach (which may lighten teeth
but leave pits in their surfaces and promote decay)!
