Diagnose teeth whitening properly so your patients and your practice team love it.
Dental practices know teeth whitening is the #1 requested dental service. Over the years there have been a number of different systems used to whiten and brighten patient’s teeth.
Some of these systems are not healthy for patients. Teeth become “neon” or tissue white but are dehydrated and damaged in the process. These systems are also inefficient in a dental practice setting.
As a result dental practices and professionals started sending patients to the local drug store to purchase over-the-counter whitening solutions.
The downside of these systems is that teeth are not brightened or whitened at all. This is because these products must use a take-home use gel that has an extremely low level of peroxide.
The chairside solution for dental practices is to bring a system into their practice that combines exactly what they and their patients need.
Once a proper whitening system is in place Dentists and dental professionals can have up-front discussions with patients about a healthy and effective way to have a brighter and whiter smile.
Below are four ways to diagnose and present healthy teeth whitening options to your patients.
What Smiles Brighten & Whiten?
- A & B Shades Whiten
- Yellow Teeth Whiten
- All Teeth Brighten
Set Patient Expectations
- Brighter Smile – Enamel prisms are cleaned out allowing more light to show a bright smile.
- Whiter Smile – Patients will see a whiter shade. Dramatic results can happen, but a whiter smile requires maintenance.
