How long does the process
take and what are the results?
Results can vary as everyone is different. the grade of your teeth and
your age can affect the process. Results have shown that the 10 or 20 minute
process can whiten your teeth by 2 - 6 shades.
How often can I have the
IBright Treatment done?
We offer two strengths of solution dependent upon your teeth sensitivity. One
10 minute session or one 20 minute session with the LED light, is recommended.
The bleaching process continues for up to two weeks. After two weeks, process
can be repeated, typically we recommend every six months.
Is the IBright System safe?
Research has shown that if the teeth and gums are normal and healthy there are
no adverse effects to bleaching one's teeth. People with tooth decay and with
any type of gum disease should avoid this treatment. Because no studies have
been done on pregnant or lactating women, or children under age 14, as a
precaution these people should not whiten their teeth.
I have a crown on my back
or front teeth. Will your product whiten my crown?
No, but the standard procedure is to first whiten all adjacent teeth, wait two
weeks for the color to stabilize, then go to your dentist and have him match
the crown to the new shade of your teeth. On the contrary, if a crown is
already been in place for many years, the whitening process can return the
rest of the teeth to the original shade prior to the crown placement. The same
goes for composites, bridges and veneers.
Are there any side effects?
Some people may feel a little tingling sensation, white gum line, or slight
sensitivity, all of which are normal reactions. Typically, this will only last
for a couple of hours not to exceed 24 hours. Initially, white spots may
appear on certain teeth, but will disappear in 1-2 hours.
How long before I can eat
or drink after my treatment?
The first 24 hours we would recommend to avoid coffee, tea, dark colored
sodas, red wines, berries, candy, red sauces, beets or any foods that have the
propensity to stain. Remember if it leaves a tee shirt stained, it will stain
your teeth.
How does the IBright System
work?
The true essence of a smile is just "light speeds" away. This state of the art
technology is safe, innovative and affordable. Our blue LED light produces the
perfect wavelength to activate our whitening gel. Hydrogen peroxide and oxygen
will break into water molecules and free oxygen radicals. The oxygen radicals
combined with carbon-based molecules in the stained teeth proceed to make all
stains clear. This process will penetrate the tooth enamel but not damage the
enamel. This is referred to as a physical stain removal at the speed of light.
What causes stains?
Some teeth are naturally pigmented or stained as they develop. Typical, stains
come from exposure to tea, coffee, smoking, juices, colas, wine, age, or just
about anything that would stain a white tee shirt.
Who may benefit from the
IBright System?
Almost everyone can enjoy the benefit of the bleaching process if their teeth
and gums are healthy. Remember, teeth can not be bleached whiter than
genetically possible. Tetracycline stains can not be removed. Also, any stains
resulting from excessive fluorides or porous teeth will have little result.
Excluding the above, about 95% of our clients experience success.
