One of the quickest, safest and least expensive ways to give your face a real pick-me-up is by whitening your teeth. In fact, your teeth do not have to be perfectly straight or perfectly uniform for whitening to make a huge impact. The only requirement is that your teeth are generally healthy and free from cavities or decay.

The popularity of white teeth is everywhere: movie stars flash their pearly whites on the red carpet and on magazine covers, advertisements for whitening products abound in the media and you can even get a quick whitening fix at some malls around the country.

Most dentists agree that the safest and most effective ways to whiten teeth is through either in-office treatments or by dentist-administered, professional, at-home whitening kits. TheNite White® Tooth Whitening systemby Discus Dental® is one such at-home whitening treatment that is widely used by dentists for their patients.

The Nite White Difference

There are many different brands of professional whitening gels endorsed by skilled dentists, and some dentists offer a variety of products from which their patients can choose. However, more and more dentists are turning to the Nite White system because it is the only one that combines the whitening agent carbamide peroxide with amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), which has been proven to help rebuild tooth enamel and reduce tooth sensitivity that is often associated with whitening products.

The Nite White gel is available in mint or cherry flavors in three different strengths (10%, 16% or 22%) to allow patients to whiten the teeth comfortably and as quickly as possible.

Benefits of Tooth Whitening Trays

To begin the Nite White process, a trained dentist will fit the patient’s teeth for custom whitening trays. The plastic trays are flexible and comfortable for the patient to wear at night or during the daytime hours. The patient will load the trays with the correct strength of Nite White bleaching gel via a unique syringe before placing the trays on the teeth. The custom-fit trays are superior to other at-home methods because the trays:

• Keep the gel in the proper position on the teeth
• Keep saliva away from the teeth and gel to avoid interference with the whitening process
• Keep the gel away from the gums to avoid irritation

Advantages of Nite White

Nite White has many advantages over both over-the-counter whitening options as well as in-office whitening treatments.

• Effective: There is simply no comparison between the effectiveness of Nite White versus store-bought whitening kits or strips.
• Affordable: While more costly than over-the-counter options, the highly effective Nite White process is more affordable than in-office whitening options.
• Fast: Amazing results will be seen in just a few days when used correctly.
• Comfortable: The whitening trays are custom-made to fit comfortably in the patient’s mouth, and the different gel strengths helps eliminate or reduce tooth or gum sensitivity following treatment.
