In Office Teeth Whitening Without Light Assistance

 

In Office Teeth Whitening Not Requiring Light Activation       Go Back

By Dr Lawrence Spindel, Monday November 16, 2008

 

Some patients are on medications that may make them photosensitive and the Zoom Whitening system advises against them using a light assisted bleaching system.  This doesn’t rule out In Office rapid whitening for these patients.

 

We have used a number of in office whitening systems that do not require light activation.  Most recently we having using Nupro White Gold In-Office Tooth Whitening System with great success.  It seems as effective as the Zoom Whitening System and it does not require any light assistance! The set up is simpler and I have found that it requires about 15 minutes less time.

Cosmetic Dentistry Tip:After whitening, smiles remain bright for a long perioed of time. Gradually the brightness does tend to fade somewhat. Often teeth remain brighter than they were prior to bleaching for years. Most patients desire a bleaching touch up after 6 months to year. If a patient has whitening trays most touch ups can be accomplished easily in a day or two. Sometimes teeth become temporarily sensitive during the whitening process. If a patient stops whitening or takes a break this sensitivity goes away. Forty eight hours after they stop bleaching most patients report their teeth feel normal again.
