There is a wide variety of professional teeth whitening products available, but they all share a common ingredient: peroxides. Peroxides, including hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide, contain highly reactive oxygen molecules. During a professional teeth whitening treatment, the whitening machine works by opening the pores of the teeth. When the oxygen molecules come into contact with surface stains on the teeth, they initiate a reaction that breaks down the chemical bonds holding the stains to the enamel. This process effectively “bleaches” the stains away, restoring the appearance of your smile. Our professional teeth whitening product utilizes hydrogen peroxide in different concentrations as the active whitening ingredient. Additionally, other ingredients like fluoride are often included to enhance the whitening process. The presence of fluoride helps protect the teeth from weakening during the treatment and reduces the risk of tooth sensitivity afterward.
