A consultation with your Teeth Whitening Dentist will help you determine the current state of your teeth and let you know if you are a good candidate for some of the more aggressive teeth whitening systems on the market today. In fact some of the most recent clinical studies show you don't necessarily need to spend a fortune to whiten your teeth just as effectively as the most expensive teeth whitening systems. |
| Professional Teeth Whitening Systems Here are just some of the professional teeth whitening systems on the market today: The Zoom! ® teeth whitening system. Opalescence ® teeth whitening system. The BriteSmile ® teeth whitening system. The LaserSmile ™ teeth whitening system. The Rembrandt ® teeth whitening system. The LumaArch ™ teeth whitening system. The NUPRO ® White Gold / Illumine ™ teeth whitening system. The Niveous ™ teeth whitening system. The two main components in professional tooth whitening systems are the teeth whitener applied to the teeth and in some professional teeth whitening systems the addition of a light source used to activate the teeth whitener. The Tooth Whitener The tooth whitener used within professional teeth whitening systems is a stronger concentration than those sold over the counter and can differ in strength and composition between teeth whitening manufacturers. For instance in a clinical evaluation published in a January 2006 issue of the Compendium Dental Journal one teeth whitening system used a 15% hydrogen peroxide concentration with ph of 6.5 while another used a 38% hydrogen peroxide concentration with a ph of 7. This clinical reported no statistically significant difference from prebleaching to 2 weeks post-bleaching in the ten patients evaluated. How can there be such a difference in the strength of the tooth whitener used and yet no statistically significant difference in the final shade of white produced on the teeth? Light-Activator The addition of an outside light source, such as halide and halogen lights, plasma arc lights, and lasers are used in some professional teeth whitening systems. However the use of an outside light source to activate the teeth whitener is not a method universally accepted by Cosmetic Dentists. In the same January 2006 clinical trial the application of an outside light source used with one of the teeth whitening systems did in fact produce an increased whitening at the immediate post-whitening evaluation compared with the other teeth whitening system which does not require light-activation. This increased teeth whitening was only temporary in its effect however. Within two weeks all patients subjected to the outside light source experienced what is termed in the dental industry as, a rebound effect. Their teeth yellowed to a shade equal to the patients using the teeth whitening system with no outside light source. Based on the evidence researchers in this clinical trial concluded the addition of an outside light source used in conjunction with a teeth whitener did not have an added benefit beyond two weeks. Teeth Whitening Kits Of course one the main benefits of all professional in-office teeth whitening systems is speed. Some of the systems above claim, and clinical studies confirm, they can whiten your teeth between 8 and 10 shades in just one 60 minute visit. This is an impressive accomplishment and for many potential teeth whitening patients the combination of in-office professional care plus the speed of the results obtained outweigh any doubts they might have about the cost of an in-office teeth whitening procedure. Fortunately the marketplace is providing multiple alternatives if you want to save money and purchase a Teeth Whitening Kit applied in the comfort of your own home. Whatever your decision might be, if you are seriously thinking about getting a teeth whitening tune up and your Dentist confirms your teeth qualify, there should be no problem finding a Teeth Whitening System that fits your currently lifestyle and budget. |
