WHAT IS TOOTH WHITENING?

Its a bleaching process that lightens discoloration's and removes stains from the enamel and dentin of the teeth. Nite White uses a mild solution retained in a custom made appliance that is worn over your teeth while you sleep or during the day.

Your can only get Nite White from your dentist. Prior to beginning treatment, your dentist will examine you to determine whether you have any untreated cavities, tooth decay, or unhealthy teeth. Then, a custom-fitted tray is made by taking an impression of your teeth, which gives you a personalized tray and allows you to achieve optimum results. Dr. Harris and his staff can help you to achieve the results you wish to see with the most first-class teeth whitening Virginia Beach has seen!

There are many causes. The most common include aging, consumption of staining substances (coffee, teas, colas, tobacco), traumas, tetracycline (antibiotic) staining, excessive fluoride, and nerve degeneration.

Almost everyone. However there are some cases where the treatment may not be effective. A dentist may determine a viable candidate for the process through a thorough oral examination and diagnosis. Tooth-lightening is ideal for patients who have healthy, unrestored teeth and would like to have a whiter, brighter smile.

To date, there has been no testing done on the effects of using a professional tooth-whitening system during pregnancy. Therefore, we do not recommend that you use Nite White if you are pregnant or lactating.

Sometimes the biting edges and the sides of the teeth whiten more quickly than the rest of the teeth. This occurs because your enamel is thicker in these areas and responds faster to the whitening process. As you continue to use Nite White, the rest of your teeth will catch up and the color will even out.

Dramatically Less Sensitivity

Studies show that Nite White EXCEL causes significantly reduced levels of tooth sensitivity when compared to the leading glycerin based products. Most patients experience less sensitivity both during and after tooth whitening with no decrease in efficacy. In fact, no other tooth whitener works faster! Nite White EXCEL contains a minimal amount of glycerin. Because glycerin is hydrophilic, it dehydrates the tooth matrix and may cause mild to severe discomfort. The new "Blend Formulation" of Nite White EXCEL reduces this type of sensitivity while improving flavor and extending shelf life.

Research indicates that whitening teeth with carbamide peroxide under the supervision of a dentist is safe for teeth and gums.
