Dental Whitening Systems and Materials

Many patients who walk into your office want to leave with a brighter, whiter smile. They typically know about the various options, but want to learn more about those options and what might work best for their situation. Offering whitening in your practice will not only give your patients the confident smile they’re after, it will also open the door to conversations about other cosmetic procedures—leading to increased productivity and profits in your practice. When it comes to whitening, patients have three main options: Chairside Whitening Systems and Dental Bleaching Light Systems, In-Office Dental Bleaching Kits and Home Dental Bleaching Kits. Chairside whitening offers immediate results as well as dramatic changes in tooth shade. In-Office kits can take five minutes to an hour and multiple cycles to apply, and offer everything except light activation. Many in-office manufacturers claim they can whiten teeth up to 10 shades. Home dental bleaching kits offer a more affordable option for patients, with it typically taking one to two weeks to see results. Patients can also use home bleaching kits to maintain their brighter smile after completing in-office whitening.

What Types of Whitening Materials and Accessories Are Available for My Practice?

There are various whitening materials and accessories to choose from, and they include:

• Chairside Whitening Systems and Dental Bleaching Light Systems
• In-Office Dental Bleaching Kits
• Home Dental Bleaching Kits
• Office Assisted Dental Bleaching Kits

What Should I Consider When Selecting Whitening Materials and Accessories?

It’s important to have a variety of options available for your patients. Some might need to whiten quickly to prepare for a wedding or a class reunion and opt for chairside treatments, while others might just want to see the subtle changes home bleaching kits can bring. When choosing whitening systems, look for products that are cost efficient, comfortable for your patients, reduce sensitivity and that provide the results both you and your patients are after. Make sure home kits are affordable and easy to use.
