Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does your teeth whitening system work?
A whitening gel is placed in custom fitted trays that fit over your upper and lower teeth. As the active ingredient in the gel, carbamide peroxide, is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel of your teeth and bleaches the colored substances. The structure of the tooth is not changed; the tooth is simply made lighter and whiter. This process has been used to effectively whiten teeth since the 1980's, so it is time-tested and safe.
2. Are the custom trays and bleaching gel in your system the same as dentists use?
Yes, they are exactly the same. Our dental lab specializes in making custom teeth whitening trays. Dentists have their custom trays made by dental laboratories just like ours. Our system includes 22% carbamide bleaching gel, which is the standard bleaching gel used by dentists for professional whitening. 3. How long will it take for me to see results?
We recommend wearing the trays for at least 1 hour a day while using the system, and 2 to 3 hours or more a day for optimal results. Most of our customers wear the trays at home in the evening or on the weekends. If you're interested in whitening your teeth as quickly as possible with our system, you can wear the trays overnight. In general, people see noticable results after 3 to 4 days of treatment, and optimal results after 5 to 10 days. 4. What kind of results can I expect?
In general, our system can whiten teeth by an average of 5 to 10 or more shades after 5 to 10 days of use. The exact level of whitening that can be obtained will vary from person to person, since each person's teeth have their own natural color. People with discoloration from things like smoking, coffee and wine will typically see quicker results than people with genetic discoloration. The whitening gel included in our system is the same gel used by dentists, so our system will give you the best possible whitening results available today. Our system includes enough whitening gel for 24 days of use, which is enough gel for the average person to whiten their teeth and have gel left over for periodic touchups, and enough gel for people with severe discoloration to significantly whiten their teeth. 5. Are there any side effects of using your system?
Our system's bleaching process has been successfully used by dentists since the 1980's to whiten patients' teeth, so it is a safe, time-tested process. The most common side effects are temporary tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. If you notice your teeth becoming more sensitive while using our system, you can simply wear the trays for less time each day or wear them every other day. Tooth sensitivity typically goes away after you stop using the system. Gum irritation can be avoided by wiping the gel off your gums with your finger or a napkin after putting on the trays.

6. Why do dentists charge $400 to $500 for this system, when you charge less than $100?
Because they can! The systems are exactly the same. The only difference is that a dentist will have an assistant help you make the impressions for your custom trays in their office. With our system, you make your impressions at home using material included in your kit. By taking a few minutes to make your impressions yourself, you can save literally hundreds of dollars and get the same professional results. 7. What is the difference between your whitening method and laser whitening?
Both methods produce professional results. Laser whitening is faster because it can be completed in one session of about an hour. However, it is also much more expensive (one session currently costs $500 or more), and it is potentially more dangerous because it involves aiming a laser at your head (and eyes). Our whitening method is much less expensive and doesn't require any dentist visits. Bleaching systems like ours can also typically get your teeth whiter than laser whitening can. 8. Is the whitening process permanent?
Once you reach your desired whitening level, typically within 5-10 days, the whitening should last at least several years. If you drink items like red wine, coffee or soda frequently, or if you smoke, then it may not last as long. After your initial treatment, we recommend doing a touchup every 8-12 months. Our system includes enough gel for 24 days of use, which is enough for the average person to whiten their teeth and have enough left over for multiple touchups. 9. Do you offer a guaranty for your whitening system?
Yes, we stand behind our teeth whitening system. It is the same system currently sold by 90% of dentists in the United States for hundreds of dollars more than we charge, and it provides quick, professional results for almost anyone. If you are unhappy with the system or your results for any reason, you can return it for a refund within 30 days after purchase. For more information about our guaranty, click here.
