How often should I whiten my teeth?
We all want a bright, white smile. However, each of our teeth has a maximum whitening point. Once that maximum whitening point is reached more teeth whitening treatments will not improve the shade of your teeth. Please do not overuse any teeth whitening product. Teeth whitening is a powerful chemical process and overexposure can cause side effect or damage.

How long will these treatments last?
The teeth whitening process can last for years. Your teeth can be re-stained after they have been whitened by the same things that caused them to yellow before you went through the whitening process. Regular dental cleanings are a giant part of maintaining your results. The use of tobacco will stain your teeth along with drinking coffee, tea, wine and soft drinks. You can combine regular dental visits and touch-up whitening treatments to extend your results.

Will this product whiten my dental work?
The short answer is, "No". Our teeth whitening products will only whiten your natural teeth. In, fact it is possible that teeth whitening treatment can damage crowns, caps, veneers, bonding and bridges. Please consult with your dentist concerning these issues prior to using our teeth whitening products.

How much gel should I use for each treatment?
You should have a thermo-formed tray for both your upper and lower sets of teeth. Each of these trays will need between ¼ to ½ cc of whitening gel. This is a small amount of gel. Each exposed tooth only needs a small amount of gel dabbed on it. Please make sure you trim your thermo-formed trays so that they do not extend above your gum line. This trimming will prevent gel waste and also help to prevent gel from getting on to your gums and other soft tissue.

Which gel is the whitening solution?
We receive this question frequently. The clear/white solution is the whitening gel and the blue/green solution is the remineralizing gel.
