Whitening, Bleaching Products

On November 1, Chris Lowrance led training on various products we carry for whitening and bleaching of teeth.  SDI offers kits for in-office procedures for dentists to apply; and home kits for self-application.  Details on both follow the video.

How LED whitening light works:

• Teeth are preconditioned with a prescription-strength fluoride toothpaste.
• Care is taken to isolate sensitive tissues so only the teeth are exposed.
• Bleaching gel containing hydrogen peroxide is applied to your teeth.
• The activation lamp emits light that triggers the gel; the lamp doesn’t emit heat, meaning you won’t be made uncomfortable by a hot light from the procedure.
• The tooth whitening gel enters your enamel and lifts the stains.
