Teeth Whitening Available In Our Tampa Office
The procedure is very simple. Hydrogen peroxide gel is applied to the teeth. A cold blue light is placed directly in front of your exposed teeth and run for 15-20 minutes per treatment. You typically perform 1 to 3 treatments during the same session, and the more treatments you perform the better results you obtain. A cosmetic teeth whitening treatment will NOT make the teeth pearly white. It will make them whiter. How much whiter? It really depends on a multitude of factors, including how stained the teeth were before the whitening, what kind of staining agent caused most of the coloration, how well the person’s enamel reacts to peroxide and the number of treatments performed. It also depends on the kind of gel (carbamide vs. hydrogen peroxide), the concentration of the teeth whitening gel and the kind of application system that is used. Most people will get impressive results while a few will get less dramatic results, but 99% of people are very satisfied with the results they obtain with our system. The most important factor is the gel. Hydrogen peroxide works much better than carbamide peroxide. 16% hydrogen peroxide is the strongest teeth bleaching gel you can use without the use of a gingival barrier. However, this gel is so strong (and therefore gives such good results), that it cannot be used with a mouth tray because it would cause gum irritation. The only way to use this gel and avoid gum irritation is with our proprietary teeth whitening system.
