ATHENS WHITE TEETH:
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the teeth whitening process?
Teeth Whitening is actually a bleaching process that lightens discolorations of tooth
enamel. Our kit uses an effective whitening solution retained in 2 thermoforming trays (1
upper arch, 1 lower arch) that are worn over your teeth for only 15 to 30 minutes per day until
you have reached your desired level of whitening. Our product is a 35% carbamide peroxide
solution which allows the shorter period of time for results. Now you can get professional
quality dental whitening treatment without an expensive trip to the dentist!
How it removes stains
Our system will remove most stains with a gentle action that whitens your teeth. As the
active ingredient in the gel (carbamide peroxide 35%), is broken down, oxygen acts upon
the stained organic deposits, which oxidizes them into a white color. This process makes
the overall tooth color closer to its natural unstained color. Your tooth structure remains
unchanged. Years of clinical tests have demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of this
system. Over 95% of people treated achieve some level of tooth whitening. Crowns,
bridges, bondings, and fillings do not lighten.
What is the treatment procedure?
An impression of your teeth will be made by you at home with our easy-to-use instant
thermoforming moldable mouth trays. You will then apply our whitening gel inside the
thermoforming trays and place the tray over your teeth. Again, since our system is 35%, you
can treat your teeth only 15-30 minutes per day. In most cases, you will see results within a
few days.
Is the whitening process permanent?
For most people, the treatment will last for many years. Your teeth have become stained in
the first place from consuming the foods and beverages. Upon the completion of your initial
bleaching process, your teeth are restored close to their natural white color. Exposure to
foods, drinks (especially coffee, colas and red wines), smoking and other consumables will
gradually darken teeth again over time. You may want to periodically bleach your teeth. After
an initial treatment, most people do touch-ups about once every 6 months.
How Important are Thermoforming trays?
Very Important! Having thermoforming trays is essential to assure proper bleaching results.
Non-mouldable mouthpieces may cause inconsistent bleaching or spotting on the teeth
and they are uncomfortable to wear.
What is the difference between the thermoforming trays and the professional
lab-created mouthpieces?
Although both mouthpieces are effective and safe, the professional lab-created
mouthpieces are more precise and more comfortable to wear. Since they are trimmed at
the gingival line, they help you save bleaching gel and are better for people who may have
sensitivities to bleaching gels on their gums. The downside of these professional
mouthpieces is that they cost more since there are more materials needed to create them
and professional laboratories are utilized to create the mouthpiece for you. The
thermoforming trays do a great job with dental bleaching, especially if you have small
scissors which you can trim the trays to the gum line which eliminates gum sensitivity. The
upside of the thermoforming trays is that they are less expensive than the lab-created
mouthpieces. Both mouthpieces are effective and you can decide which type is best for you.
Is this product the same thing dentists sell me for 400euro or more?
Yes, Our system uses the same active ingredients, percent concentration and methodology
as those used in professional dental offices. We provide you with thermoforming trays and
supply you with a high quality, effective whitening gel exactly like the formula used in dental
offices.
What causes tooth discoloration?
There are many causes. The most common include consumption of foods, coffee, tea,
wine, sodas and smoking. In other words, our teeth naturally get more and more stained as
time goes on and we continue to live our lives. NOTE - Tetracycline discoloration and
artificial dental work are usually not greatly responsive to dental bleaching.
Who may benefit from tooth whitening?
Almost everyone. However, there are some cases where treatment may not be effective.
Tooth lightening is ideal for patients who have healthy, un-restored teeth and would like a
whiter, brighter smile. Tetracycline discolorations and artificial dental work are usually not
greatly responsive to dental bleaching.
Is it safe to bleach my teeth at home?
Yes, our at-home bleaching system is specially designed to be an easy-to-use system with
detailed usage instructions. Over a decade of research indicates that whitening teeth with
carbamide peroxide is safe and effective. Our kits are shipped directly from the USA
manufactured and comply with USA FDA regulations.
How long does the bleaching process take?
Results are dependent upon each individual characteristics of each person and the daily
wear-time of the thermoforming trays, but most people usually see results within the first
week. Maximum results occur over the next 7-14 days.
Are there any side effects?
Some people experience temporary tooth sensitivity during treatment. Others have reported
discomfort in the gums or in loose fillings. Gum irritation usually disappears within 1-3 days
after beginning the procedure and always upon the discontinuation or completion of
treatment. There are no other significant side effects.
How much whitening gel does it take per treatment?
Each individual tray application (upper or lower arch) will use approximately 1/4 to1/2cc of
whitening gel. The lower amount of 1/4 cc per treatment is accomplished by 3 things:
experience of using the whitening process, dabbing just a small amount of gel in the frontal
portion of each tooth exposed when smiling only (no need to whiten unexposed teeth), and
most importantly, trimming the thermoforming trays at the gingival line (tooth/gum line). If
you take small scissors and trim the trays on the gingival line, you do not have a waste
factor of gel and do not expose the soft tissue to the process.
