A cosmetic teeth whitening treatment will NOT make the teeth white, like veneers. However it does make them lighter and in fact sometimes it can bring them down to 14 shades lighter, this depends on a multitude of factors, including how stained the teeth are, what caused most of the discoloration, and how well the persons enamel reacts to peroxide also the number of treatments performed. It also depends on the kind of gel used, and the concentration of the teeth whitening gel used. Normally 99% of people are very satisfied with the results they obtain with our system, most get very impressive results, but there a few that get a less dramatic result, and· in some cases people cannot really achieve lighter looking teeth this can be because of stains caused by antibiotic tetracycline or fluorosis
Although there are significant differences among the teeth whitening machines/Accelerators available in the market, the most important factor is the gel used. Hydrogen peroxide achieves better results than carbamide peroxide. 16% hydrogen peroxide is the strongest teeth bleaching gel you can use without being a Dentist. This system is painted directly onto the teeth by the client and cannot be used with a mouth tray because the trays can put too much gel on gums and cause irritation. We also have home care kits that clients can purchase to use at home to maintain there whitening treatment. We also have a professional teeth whitening kits for dentists only that is 35% hydrogen peroxide that includes a gingival barrier and desensitizing gel.
As to choosing a teeth whitening machine this can be a very daunting as there are so many in the market place now, all promising that there is the most powerful a lot are made in China or Taiwan. (All our machines come from USA and are FDA approved). Just make sure that it is a legitimate LED teeth whitening lamp that emits a blue light, and the lamp has at least 12 Watts as this will do the job, which is accelerate the whitening process. The lamp does 30% of the job only, while the gel does 70%. So the decisive part is always the gel, not the lamp. You must always make sure that your gel is safe and that it adhers to all Australian Standards.
