Teeth whitening before and After

What happens before Teeth whitening treatment ?

Many of you may have considered teeth whitening products or indeed considered in-office treatments. However it’s important to know what you are embarking on before considering treatment, as you contemplate this exciting journey, there are some important things to note about the preparation process, not everyone is a good candidate for the procedure;  individuals with dental restorations, gum disease, receding gumlines or worn enamel should speak with a dentist, either by having a consultation or by asking if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure during your regular check-ups. Teeth whitening gel won’t work on veneers or crowns, however before having veneers you might be advised to have whitened your teeth prior to the procedure to ensure that you get the perfect shade match.  

What happens during the teeth whitening treatment?

So, you have decided to go for it and take the plunge, good on you! Think Bizzle and Smile are here for one thing and one thing only; effective and safe teeth whitening. Depending on whether you have decided to go with a professional service or a home teeth whitening kit there will be some similarities. First, let’s look at professional treatments; then we will consider a home whitening kit, our own; what a shameless plug!

Professional teeth whitening

The teeth whitening professional will clean your teeth making sure that they are free from any debris or plaque. Once your teeth are clean the mouth will be prepped, some professionals will use cheek retractors to allow good separation of the lips to avoid any of the gel getting onto the soft tissue. The gumline with be prepped with gingival or gum barrier, this is usually a blue waxy substance that is cured and harden by cold light to form a protective barrier, it’s important weather you are in-office or at home that the gumline is protected.

Once the prep is done you are ready for the application, in the USA dentists will typically  use Hydrogen peroxide between 15% to 43%. Maximum results are achieved by combining Hydrogen peroxide with a high powered Laser that helps accelerate and activate the gel giving great results within 15 to 20 minutes.

Home teeth whitening Kit

 Now this is where we come in, we offer a wide range of teeth whitening products for professionals as well as home teeth whitening kits and top up gels. For our home teeth whitening kits we offer gels from 22% carbamide peroxide  to 44% Carbamide peroxide.

Before any home teeth whitening occurs the teeth should be free from debris and plaque. We recommend that you make sure the teeth are free of any food by brushing them. However, this should be without Toothpaste, a tooth brush and water will suffice, we advise this method to ensure that the process of oxidisation occurs on the surface of the tooth and not with your Toothpaste of choice.

If you choose our Dream Gleam kit you will be provided with cheek retractors in the same capacity as a professional treatment. All of our gels come with barrier to protect the gums during the whitening process.  Our Dream Gleam kit comes with trays, as well as a 16 LED light with a mouth piece. We believe that variety is the spice of life so we have given the option to whiten without trays, which means you can use the retractors for both the prep and the whitening process, or if you want to get on with your daily tasks you can whitening with the trays and the LED and use the retractors just for prep.

After 30 to 60 minutes you will see visibly whiter teeth. Unlike professional whitening treatments full results will be seen after a minimum of 5 sessions. Be assured that you can get great results with Think Bizzle and Smile Teeth whitening gel; Don’t believe me? See some of our teeth whitening before and after pictures for yourselves.

How will my teeth’ colour change after teeth whitening?

After the whitening procedure you can expect to see immediate improvements in your smile depending on the process you can see improvements from 5 to 10 shades whiter . However it’s important to recognise that results will vary from individual to individual due to a number of factors. The types of stains that you have place a major part in the overall teeth whitening results, Let’s take a look at the types of stains and what types of teeth whitening gel works best.

External stains

External stains are known as extrinsic stains, which appear on the surface of the tooth and are usually a result of life style, with food, drink and nicotine playing a major role with these types of stains. Red wine and coffee is a favourite of many, however, these drinks over a sustained period of time can be the primary cause of discoloration of the teeth and surface stains. In addition to this if an individual has a build-up of plaque this in itself can be a stain magnet with plaque build-up becoming stained over time.

Internal stains

 Internal stains are known as intrinsic stains and are found within the surface of the tooth an can be caused by a variety of reasons such as age, as we get older the tooth enamel tends to thin showing the dentin within the tooth which is  naturally yellow in colour. Some individuals have a darker shade than others. However a good level of whitening can be achieved over a longer period of time with a lower percentage of carbamide peroxide such as 22% concentration.  

Why do my Teeth look Patchy after the Bleaching process?

If you have just embarked on having your teeth whitened the last thing you expect to see is white patches, streaks or lines. However, this is completely normal and you have nothing to worry about. As teeth whitening gel either contains or converts to hydrogen peroxide , the temporary effect is dehydration that causes little flecks of white patches; this usually dissipates within 20 to 30 minutes of the treatment and you will be left with the final results.

What about home kits for teeth whitening?

Over the years there has been a rise in popularity in home teeth whitening kits, with the accessibility of home bleaching kits increasing within the USA after the 2014 ruling by the FDA that over the counter and home teeth whitening kits are classified as a cosmetic treatment and not a drug. As consumers appetite for all things cosmetic accelerated in the age of Instagram and Tik Tock so did the demand for whiter than white teeth. Here at Think Bizzle and Smile we pride ourselves on creating high quality and high performing whitening gel, our most complete and most popular kit is our Dream Gleam pro giving you more options and variations of gel to help you achieve the best teeth whitening results. We also offer a combination of gels from 22%, 36% and 44% Carbamide peroxide, so whatever your overall goal, we can help  you to achieve it. For more information why don’t you check out our Dream Gleam product page.

How long do whitening results last?

There is no permanent solution, after full results have been achieved you can expect your new smile to be maintained for 12 to 18 months. However, as we mentioned before lifestyle choices and highly pigmented foods such as deep tomato based sauces, coffee, red wine and tea all take there toll and result in your teeth becoming off white in as little as 2 to 3 months if you fail to keep a good dental routine. If you notice that the results are starting to fade you can opt to whiten at home with one of our refill options.

What should I avoid eating or drinking after teeth whitening? (Post-care recommendations)

Within 48 hours of your treatment you should avoid highly pigmented, acidic foods and drinks, teeth can be sensitive and prone to staining after whitening. It is advice that you avoid the following.

Drinks to avoid

Red wine, sugary sodas, coffee, tea and alcohol. All of these drinks are highly pigmented and will result in staining. All fruit juices should be avoided due to the sugar content and natural occurring acids found in most fruits.

Foods to avoid

Tomato’s and tomato based sauces, Sugar beets or beet root, all fruit should be avoided including any that maybe considered low in sugar or low on the glycaemic  index. If you’re partial to a curry, unfortunately you will have to give them a miss for a while, curries usually contain Turmeric and other staining spices

Can you use teeth whitening kits with braces

The plain and simple answer is no, if you have invested in having braces or Invisalign your dentist may recommend before the initial treatment that you may benefit from teeth whitening. However, it is recommended that this occurs once your braces are removed or you complete the Invisalign treatment. Whether you opt for a home kit with or in office your newly aligned and whitened teeth will give you a brighter smile.

 

Teeth whitening and Braces

How do I maintain my bright smile?

Teeth whitening Kits  vs Charcoal Teeth whitening kits

 Over recent years teeth whitening kits have become evermore popular, and the desire for consumers to attain an improved appearance  has soared. There is more accessibility with most cosmetics and beauty enhancing treatments being available either, online or at a fraction of the price, in comparison to 10 years ago. Consumers have a plethora of options available when it comes to teeth whitening kits, but what is the best option? What will give the Overall best results? well, this quite simply comes down to the results that you are trying to achieve. 

Teeth whitening products can be broken down into two categories, those that work and those that do not, all joking aside, some products simply do not do what they say on the tin, which is to whiten teeth. Charcoal Teeth whitening kits have become very popular in recent years. However, it’s important to differentiate between teeth whitening and stain removal, can Charcoal really whiten or can it only remove stains?

Can charcoal whiten teeth?

Teeth whitening kits

Firstly we need to understand the structure of teeth and how stains interact with the surface of the tooth. Firstly its important to know that the tooth is actually the hardest structure in the body, but this does not mean that they are impervious to stains and discolouration. Enamel is the first layer of the tooth and the hardest. Enamel also contains the highest percentage of minerals in the body, and is comprised of calcium phosphate, which is a hard mineral. The next layer is dentine, similarly to Enamel, dentine can become stained, due to the micro tubes, stains can penetrate into the surface of the tooth, causing discolouration. The very nature of dentine can contribute to the overall discolouration or yellowing of the teeth, as dentine is yellow in colour and can be visible from within the tooth surface  if enamel becomes thin, and the enamel can also become stained by any food, drinks and life style choices. So which product will be the best?

As we discussed previously there are two types of stains, stains which occur on the surface of the tooth (extrinsic), and stains  that occurred within the tooth (intrinsic). Surface stains can be made up  of plaque deposits that can become discoloured, or they can be comprised or stains from food and drinks like red, wine coffee  tomato based foods, and smoking, these are the kind of substances that stain the surface of the tooth.

Charcoal Teeth whitening kits consist of treated powder that is brushed onto the teeth, and, the claim is that the Charcoal whitens the teeth. But is it possible that Charcoal can whiten teeth? If we look at the components, charcoal is mainly made up of Carbon from the burning of wood, this gives a rough and semi abrasive texture, which, when applied to a tooth brush and rubbed against the surface of the tooth may remove plaque and stained plaque, which is on the surface of the tooth. Whilst the powder may remove surface plaque stains, it cannot change the colour of the tooth surface, if you want to enhance the colour of your teeth then you will need to use Teeth whitening Kits 

How do Teeth whitening Kits work?

At Think Bizzle and Smile our Teeth whitening Kits use Carbamide Peroxide gel, this is considered a perfect compound for at home kits. The reason for this is that the gel reacts  directly with the surface stains and the internal stains,  once in the mouth,Carbamide Peroxide  works  by the process of oxidation, this process works on the surface stains by breaking them down and then bleaching the colour of the stains to white, which vastly improves the overall colour of the tooth.  The contrast between Charcoal Teeth whitening kits and  traditional Teeth whitening kits, is that not one does the latter bleaches surface stains, Carbamide peroxide  can penetrate the the enamel to whiten the dentine, this is a major factor and benefit in regards to actually changing the colour of the tooth, this will not be possible with Charcoal, you cannot change the colour of the dentine or the enamel.  Therefore you will only be able to remove surface stains, and not whiten the tooth.

Whilst Carbamide Peroxide gel bleaches the stains, it actually works on removing plaque that cannot be removed by brushing, as well as changing the colour of  the enamel from its natural colour, in addition to removing  internal stains that distort the colour of the tooth.

There are many factors that may lead you to choose Charcoal Teeth whitening kits over Teeth whitening Kits , as they both have very different properties. However if you want white teeth or to improve, or change the colour of your teeth, then there is only one option as far as we are concerned, and thats Teeth whitening Kits, click here to check out what we offer.

Teeth whitening Kits

Teeth whitening Kits

So here we are, we have been here a thousand times before, and we say this with baited breath, you want white teeth, you want good results? and you want teeth whitening kits that work, and brings you the best results, of course you do, who wouldn’t?  There are many  teeth whitening products that can be purchased online these days that boast a  truck load of results, we have various companies paying well known celebrities a handsome fee to endorse there products. If you saw Kylie Jenner using an affordable teeth whitening kit, you’d also want to buy it, right? But just because popular celebrities endorse these products it doesn’t mean they use them, on  the contrary, as Kylie Jenner has veneers it is most unlikely that she would ever use a home kit. This does not of course mean that home kits do not work, but lets be realistic, if Kylie Jenner can spend thousands with a top LA dentist,  is she going to attempt to whiten veneered teeth with a $50 kit? We’d say not.

There is currently lots of hype around activated charcoal powder and the ability for it to whiten teeth,  we really wish we could  get you white teeth from  activated charcoal powder and grit, but unfortunately this isn’t the case, if You truly want results, then you need to follow these steps. Firstly you, should know that you can’t get white teeth from Rubbing Black powder onto them.

White teeth can truly be obtained from bleaching the intrinsics stains ( stains that Occur on the surface of  the tooth) And the extrinsic  stains (stains that occur on the outside on the tooth surface) So If you think you can get  good results by rubbing charcoal on your teeth, then you’re mistaken, yes you may remove some built up plaque, but true whitening comes from either Carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide, the latter is most commonly used in dentist or by any professional  technician rather than for home use, one of the issues of hydrogen peroxide is the shelf life, as this is only 3 months it is unlikely that it would be used within this period and therefore this gel is usually manufactured  to order in bulk quantities.

In all of our experience to truly get white teeth, if you have not already been blessed with white Gnasher’s, is to use a teeth whitening kit which contains, peroxide, OH NO!!!, the dreaded P word, yes peroxide. You may or may not know, that Carbamide peroxide is a compound that reacts with saliva  and creates oxidisation that penetrates  the surface of the tooth to whiten intrinsic stains.Carbamide Peroxide can also breakdown stubborn plaque build up that cannot be removed by brushing, and causes unsightly yellow patches at the gum line. We are not saying that Charcoal products  wont help with improved oral hygiene , but it will not change the colour of the tooth, if that is what you are looking to do.

Depending on where you live in the world, rules might be slightly different regarding the use of carbamide peroxide, so we have provided, the necessary Teeth whitening kits to ensure that you get great results. Whilst in our experience we feel that the best results can be obtained by teeth whitening kits containing Carbamide Peroxide, we do also provide  zero peroxide teeth whitening kits  which contains sodium bicarbonate and aloe vera, Sodium bicarbonate creates a gentle abrasive effect to remove surface stains and will improve the appearance of your teeth over time.

We have had thousands of happy customers world wide, and we will continue to sell the best quality teeth whitening kits on the market. Here at Think Bizzle and smile, we  ensure all of our customers are catered to, we have home users and professionals that use our  high grade product to get dramatic results, with Professional white light, and we also get our strong hold fans that are happy to show their results, which is white teeth!!

Tooth whitening: is it safe?

Teeth whitening has been around for decades, building confidence by giving clients brighter smiles.

However, there is the question of how safe whitening your teeth actually is.

Years and years of research have found bleaching techniques and whitening methods to be safe and effective. A large amount of products that are in the market today have presented to not have any adverse effects on the teeth or gums in both laboratories and clinical testings.

Present times have seen bleaching gels making the sensitivity of the teeth less of an issue when whitening. However, it is common for the teeth to be sensitive once they have been whitened, especially when consuming too hot or cold foods and drinks, this feeling will subside 48 hours following the treatment.

For those who experience sensitivity more than others, actions can be taken:

– When using a tray applicator, wear the tray for a shorter period of time
– Use a toothpaste for sensitive teeth
– Ask a dentist or pharmacist for product with fluoride which aids in re-mineralising your teeth
– Allow your teeth to adapt to the whitening process

What’s in store for teeth whitening?

In this blog, we discuss the current technologies of teeth whitening and what’s in store for teeth whitening in the future.

Dental stains can be widely categorised as intrinsic or extrinsic.

Intrinsic stains group together the result of defects in the development of the tooth, fluorosis, or it can be acquired through the use of tetracycline.

Extrinsic stains are more or less localised int eh pellicle and are a result of the reaction between the amino acids and sugars, or obtained from the retention of exogenous chromophores in the pellicle.

At this present time, there are three clinical methods that have been adopted for measuring stain removal and tooth whitening in the development of new whitening technologies: Loben Stain Index, Shade Guide Colour Change, and Minolta ChromaMeter. Most professional teeth whitening products rely on proved technologies which may involve 35% hydrogen peroxide for in-office power bleaching, or 10-15% carbamide peroxide for at-home bleaching in order to reduce intrinsic stain and chance the inherent tooth colour.

Regular teeth whitening kits will use a combination fo surfactants, antialculus agents, abrasives, as well as low levels of hydrogen peroxide so to lessen extrinsic stains and maintain the tooth’s white colour following any professional treatment.

With teeth whitening growing and growing in popularity, future technologies that are involved in teeth whitening could involve the use of activating agents to boost the performance of hydrogen peroxide along with natural enzymes.
