What is "Tooth Whitening?"

It's actually a bleaching process that lightens discolorations of enamel and dentin. The system uses a mild solution retained in a custom-fitted appliance that is worn over your teeth while you sleep.

What causes tooth discoloration?

There are many causes. The most common include aging, consummation of staining substances (coffee, tea, colas, tobacco), trauma, tetracycline (antibiotic) staining, excessive fluoride, nerve degeneration, and old restorations.

Who may benefit from tooth whitening?

Almost everyone. However, there are some cases where the treatment may not be effective. A dentist may determine viable candidates for the process through a thorough oral examination and diagnosis. The tooth-lightening system is ideal for patients who have healthy, unrestored teeth and would like to have whiter, brighter teeth.

Why is the Nite White process unique?

Because you can whiten your teeth comfortably and effectively, in private, while you sleep.

Is the process safe?

Research indicates that whitening teeth with 10% carbamide peroxide under the supervision of a dentist is safe for teeth and gums.

How does it work?

The Nite White gel is placed in a thin bleaching tray that fits over your teeth. As the active ingredient in the gel carbamide peroxide is broken down oxygen enters the enamel and dentin and bleaches the colored substances. The structure of the tooth is not changed; only the tooth color is made lighter.

How long does it take?

Results are usually seen in the first night. Maximum results generally occur when the process is continued for 10 to 14 nights.

Are there side effects?

Some people experience tooth sensitivity to cold during the treatment. Others have reported temporary discomfort, such as gum or tooth sensitivity. These symptoms always disappear within 1-3 days after interruption or completion of the treatment.

How long do the results last?

The teeth will always be lighter than they were. However, some patients may need periodic re-bleaching for two nights every six to twelve months.

The Nite White Process

1. During your diagnostic visit, your dentist will take impressions of your upper and lower teeth. These will allow your dentist to make custom gel holding appliances called bleaching trays.
2. On your second visit, you will be fitted with the trays. You will also be given the Nite White gel and specific instructions on how to administer it and how often to wear your trays.
3. Follow the take-home directions carefully, continuing to maintain proper oral hygiene through brushing and flossing. Maximum aesthetic results will be obtained in most cases two weeks after following the specified procedures.
