Why is the Nite WhiteŽ 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 WhiteŽ 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 three nights. Maximum results generally occur when the process is continued for 14 nights. Are there any side effects? Some people experience increased 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 one or two nights every four to six months.
