There’s no doubt that a whiter smile is important to every person who enters your practice. With very few exceptions (namely the individuals who have invested in professional veneers or whose teeth are made of man-made materials), every person who enters your practice should be interested in at least some level of supportive treatment to achieve and maintain whiter teeth.
Why do teeth get grey and dingy?
There are a lot of ways that most everyone’s teeth become dull and dingy over the years. Everyone who begins their day with coffee is causing their teeth to become stained. Another culprit is smoking, as cigarette smoke contains a high amount of tar that clings to your teeth and lungs. Fast food is another cause of dull, dingy teeth. Also, teeth become more dull through the natural process of aging, which means that virtually everyone will be a candidate for teeth whitening as some point in their lives.
If it can stain white carpet, it can stain your teeth
Recommending the best treatment for whitening teeth can be a difficult decision, but thankfully, most every current method for teeth whitening is at least generally effective and safe. The most appealing methods in this booming $300M industry are do-it-yourself custom fit whitening trays, coupled with professional strength bleaching gel.
A single 5ML syringe of 22% carbamide peroxide gel retails for $20 and can provide a full 7-10 days of whitening treatment. (And providing this gel through your practice can produce a continuing source of easy profits for you.) Coupled with custom fit whitening trays, the high-strength gel can be used sparingly-clients should apply only enough gel to the tray to cover the front surface of the tooth. For that matter, depending on the number of teeth exposed when an individual smiles, only the front 6-8 teeth, top and bottom, require gel.
bleaching kits often produce clunky and cumbersome trays. A small investment in a set of custom fit trays can make all the difference in comfortable use and will make it much easier to maintain a regular practice of whitening 2-3 times a week.
Smile Simple has offered an easy outsource solution of dentist-quality whitening trays that you can easily offer through any aesthetic or medical practice. In fact, by simply making Smile Simple kits available to your current clients, you could provide a welcome source of additional satisfaction to your clients, and with no additional equipment, staffing or training could add multiple thousands of dollars in additional profit to the practice you already have.
Is whitening for everyone?
With very few exceptions, yes! Strips, whitening trays and whitening toothpastes can all be effective for brightening the appearance of the smile.
For clients who are concerned about sensitive teeth, several issues are key: Strong bleaching products should be used for the shortest time possible to reduce sensitivity pain.
Interestingly, more than 50% of the whitening impact occurs within the first 15 minutes of bleaching. An individual with sensitive teeth can make a dramatic impact on the whiteness of teeth by bleaching just 15 minutes a day for an initial period of 7-10 days; and can bleach just once a week or every other week to maintain the improvement.
A good set of whitening trays can help to ensure that the gel is touching only the front surface of the teeth-not the gums. At professional strength, it takes surprisingly little gel to achieve a fabulous result.
