What is the teeth whitening process?
Teeth Whitening is actually a bleaching process that lightens discolorations of tooth enamel. The Dental Diva Smile System uses an effective whitening solution, retained in 2 thermoforming trays (1 upper arch, 1 lower arch) that are worn over your teeth for only 15 to 20 minutes per day until you have reached your desired level of whitening. If you combine this with a special blue laser, your first initial treatment will only be one hour. Our product is a 36% carbamide peroxide solution, which allows a shorter period of time for results. In comparison, a 16% solution needs to be in your mouth 45 minutes to an hour for the SAME RESULTS. Now you can get professional quality dental whitening without an expensive trip to the dentist!
How does the blue laser work?
The blue light frequency allows the dentinal tubules to open, thus allowing the carbamide peroxide to penatrate the enamel faster.
How does it remove stains?
Our system will remove most stains with a gentle action that whitens your teeth. As the active ingredient in the gel (carbamide peroxide 36%) is broken down, oxygen acts upon the stained organic deposits, which oxidizes them into a white color. This process makes the overall tooth color closer to its natural, unstained color. Your tooth structure remains unchanged. Years of clinical tests have demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of this system. Over 95% of people treated achieve some level of tooth whitening. Please note that crowns, bridges, bondings, and fillings do not lighten.
What is the treatment procedure?
An impression of your teeth will be made by you at home or in the spa with our easy-to-use instant thermoforming moldable mouth trays. You will then apply our whitening gel inside the thermoforming trays and place the tray over your teeth. Since our system is 36%, you can only apply the gel for 60 minutes during the first treatment; 15-20 minutes thereafter. In most cases, you will see results within only one hour.
Is the whitening process permanent?
For most people, the treatment will last for many years. Your teeth have become stained from consuming foods and beverages. Upon the completion of your initial bleaching process, your teeth will be restored close to their natural white color. Exposure to foods, drinks (especially coffee, colas and red wines), smoking and other consumables will gradually darken teeth again over time. You may want to periodically bleach your teeth. After an initial Dental Diva Smile treatment, most people do touchups about once every 3-12 months.
How Important are Thermoforming Trays?
Very Important! Having thermoforming trays is essential to assure proper bleaching results. Non-moldable mouthpieces may cause inconsistent bleaching or spotting on the teeth, and they are uncomfortable to wear. This is also true with whitening strips on the market today.
What is the difference between the thermoforming trays and the professional lab-created mouthpieces?
Although both mouthpieces are effective and safe, the professional lab-created mouthpieces are more precise and more comfortable to wear. Since they are trimmed at the gingival line, they help you save bleaching gel and are better for people who may have sensitivities to bleaching gels on their gums. The downside of these professional mouthpieces is that they cost more since there are more materials needed to create them, and professional laboratories are utilized to create the mouthpiece for you. The thermoforming trays do a great job with dental bleaching, especially if you have small scissors which you can trim the trays to the gum line, eliminating gum sensitivity. The upside of the thermoforming trays is that they are less expensive than the lab-created mouthpieces. Both mouthpieces are effective and you can decide which type is best for you.
I already have a set of moldable mouthpieces.
Can I buy just the whitening gel?
Yes, we sell 36% Carbamide Peroxide whitening gel separately. It can be used with any dental tray in the same way as your previous whitening gel.
Why is your product better than other whiteners?
Simply put, other whitening products do not work as effectively as the Dental Diva Smile System. Some over-the-counter trays are not moldable to your teeth and do not hold the gel in the proper position. Many OTC whitening gels are not thick enough to stay in place and will leak out of the tray, and they typically have less effective or a lower concentration of active ingredients. Also, many professional dental whitening systems provide a lower percentage of carbamide peroxide. We should note that you can whiten your teeth with a lower percentage, but it takes a much longer treatment time in your mouth. Our 36% gel, combined with the blue plasma laser light is HIGHLY effective. In short, the Dental Diva Smile System offers more effective whitening power for your money than any other system on the market today.
Is this product the same thing dentists sell me for $500 or more?
Yes, Our system uses the same active ingredients, percent concentration and methodology as those used in professional dental offices. We provide you with thermoforming trays and supply you with a high quality, effective whitening gel exactly like the formula used in dental offices.
What causes tooth discoloration?
There are many causes. The most common include consumption of foods, coffee, tea, wine, sodas and smoking. In other words, our teeth naturally get more and more stained as time goes on and we continue to live our lives. NOTE - Tetracycline discoloration and artificial dental work are usually not greatly responsive to dental bleaching.
Who may benefit from tooth whitening?
Almost everyone. However, there are some cases where treatment may not be effective. Tooth lightening is ideal for patients who have healthy, un-restored teeth and would like a whiter, brighter smile. Tetracycline discolorations and artificial dental work are usually not greatly responsive to dental bleaching.
Is it safe to bleach my teeth at home?
Yes, our at-home bleaching system is specially designed to be an easy-to-use with detailed usage instructions. Over a decade of research indicates that whitening teeth with carbamide peroxide is safe and effective. All of our products comply with FDA regulations.
How long does the bleaching process take?
Results are dependent upon each individual characteristics of each person and the daily wear-time of the thermoforming trays. Most people usually see results within the first week. Maximum results occur over the next 14-21 days.
Are there any side effects?
Some people experience temporary tooth sensitivity during treatment. Others have reported discomfort in the gums or in loose fillings. Gum irritation usually disappears within 1-3 days after beginning the procedure and always upon the discontinuation or completion of treatment. There are no other significant side effects.
YOU SHOULD NOT USE THIS PRODUCT IF YOU ARE PREGNANT, HAVE HEALTH PROBLEMS, PERIODONTAL DISEASE OR GUMS THAT ARE IN POOR CONDITION, WEAR BRACES, HAD RECENT ORAL SURGERY, DECAYED TEETH, HAVE ROOTS THAT ARE EXPOSED, HAVE COLITIS, OR HAVE JAW PROBLEMS.
The manufacturer and seller assume no responsibility for any usage of product. You should consult with a dentist before attempting any at-home treatments and understand that there are risks involved not doing so. A small percentage of people may experience reversible tooth sensitivity and gum irritation which disappears when treatment ends. If you become sensitive, decrease the amount of time you bleach your teeth in a session, or increase the amount of time between each bleaching session
What other whitening products are available?
Whitening Toothpastes
Inexpensive ($3-$10). If the product doesn't contain at least 10% carbamide peroxide, it probably will not work well. Additionally, carbamide peroxide must stay on your teeth for a period of time to be effective.
In-Office Whitening
Expensive ($300-$600) - The process consists of the dentist forming a mouth piece for you and usually dispensing 16% carbamide peroxide. Our tooth whitening system works the same way except you form the tray yourself and our gel is 36%.
Laser Bleaching in a dental office
Expensive $500-$1,000. This procedure is usually done in a few hours at the dentist office using a light source to speed up the process.
Whitening Strips
Inexpensive whitening strips are coated with a low percentage (non-dental strength) whitening gel. Strips cover front teeth only, and are not effective in removing stains between teeth. Because of the low percentage of whitening gel and ineffective non-fitting delivery method, additional strips are required for frequent maintenance.
What is the Carbamide Peroxide shelf life?
Carbamide Peroxide has an approximate shelf life of 2 years, if refrigerated. You don't want to purchase a kit that will expire before you have had a chance to use it. Our whitening kits have had solution fabricated within 30 days of sale to you. Many companies sell expired kits, which they purchase at a discounted price (caveat emptor: Let the buyer beware).
Carbamide or hydrogen peroxide that is stored and sold in toothpaste-like "tubes" and other containers, do not provide the air-tight properties necessary for storage. Although syringe/cartridge form is more expensive to manufacture and to purchase, it is advisable to maintain the gel in an airtight environment.
