Teeth Whitening gels are transparent peroxide gels used to bleach your teeth. Depending on the color of your teeth the whitening gel can whiten your teeth several shades. Beware – The whitening achieved with over the counter or Internet marketed DIY whitening gel kits cannot be compared in any way with the results of professional LED cosmetic teeth whitening procedures performed by a professional service provider. Statements of 6 shades are falsified by using shade guides like A 1-5, then B 1-5 & so on. Accordingly a 6 shade improvement is really only a single shade variation by our measures! When we talk shade variances we are referring to real changes. Your consultant will give you a before & after comparison with our simple 10 shade chart. No smoke & mirrors.

Cosmetic teeth whitening is a safe treatment according to the majority of studies done in the last 10 years. Modern whitening gels are better formulated and in general cause much less sensitivity than their earlier predecessors.

In fact researchers from the world leading Eastman Institute for Oral Health, (part of the University of Rochester Medical Center) set out to learn if there are negative effects on the tooth from using whitening products. They compared the effects of professional strength Hydrogen Peroxide to acidic fruit juices. They came to the following conclusion: That compared to Orange Juice “The orange juice decreased enamel hardness by 84%.” No significant change in hardness or surface enamel was found from whitening. (Eastman Institute for Oral Health is a world leader in research & post-doctoral education in general & pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics & oral surgery).
