What is the teeth whitening process? Teeth Whitening is actually a bleaching process that lightens discolorations of tooth enamel. GOWHiTE systems uses an effective whitening solution applied with a revolutionary pen applicator with a targetable, soft applicator tip, twice daily until you have reached your desired level of whitening. Using professional-strength whitening gel formulated with hydrogen peroxide is the most widely used and most desirable path to establishing effective dental whitening. How it removes stains? GOWHiTE will remove most stains by generating a gentle action that whitens your teeth. As the active ingredient in the gel (hydrogen peroxide), is broken down, oxygen acts upon the stained organic deposits, which oxidizes them into a white color. This process makes the overall tooth color closer to its natural unstained color. Your tooth structure remains unchanged. Years of clinical tests have demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of this type of system. Over 95% of people treated achieve some level of tooth whiteing. Crowns, bridges, bondings, and fillings do not lighten.

Is
the whitening process permanent?
Your teeth have initially become stained due to consumption of foods and beverages. Upon the completion of your initial whitening process, your teeth will be restored to their natural white color. Smoking, eating certain foods, and drinking beverages like coffee, soda, and red wine will gradually darken teeth again. You may select to periodically whiten your teeth, thus reducing the likelihood of your teeth becoming stained again. After an initial treatment, most people do touchups at 6-12 months. What about smoking or drinking coffee? You can not smoke/drink coffee/red wine/tea within half hour of whitening. The teeth have pores like the skin and during whitening are more likely to uptake any stains ingested. Who can benefit from tooth whitening? Almost everyone. However, there are some cases where treatment may not be effective. Tooth lightening is ideal for patients who have healthy, unrestored teeth and would like a whiter, brighter smile.
