Whitening Strips

Coated with a whitening gel, these thin, flexible membranes are designed to conform to the shape of the teeth. They are very convenient and easy to use – no mixing or molding is required. What's more, they are unobtrusive enough to be worn on the job or while commuting or shopping.

However, whitening strips are less effective than trays for removing between-the-teeth stains and are not suitable for crooked teeth. In addition, saliva can more easily find its way beneath whitening strips, diluting their potency. Some whitening strips aren't long enough to cover a wide smile, and they tend to slip and slide.

Crest Whitestrips Supreme, containing 14 percent hydrogen peroxide – the highest dose currently available in whitening strips – are dispensed at dentists' offices. These strips are wide enough to cover up to six teeth.

What makes the new Crest Whitestrips Supreme different from other Crest Whitestrips?

Brush-On Whiteners

Pens with brush-on or foam-tip applicators provide what has been billed as fuss-free instant whitening. Used directly after meals or in daily regimens, as alternatives to whitening trays and strips, these whiteners are often considered instant "antidotes" to new stains from food, especially just-consumed red wine.

 Consider them useful adjuncts to in-office or tray bleaching.

Whitening Toothpaste

Technically speaking, all toothpastes are whitening toothpastes, since they remove surface plaque and debris. But only a few contain key whitening ingredients: chemical bleaching agents and abrasives in high concentrations.

When used regularly, these toothpastes may offer backup support for tooth whitening. Of course, given that brushing time is limited to a minute or two, that support is minimal. But since we all brush every day, some consider whitening toothpastes to be potential whitening enhancers.

Whitening Floss

Floss may seem like an unlikely part of the tooth-whitening regimen, particularly as it is in contact with the teeth for only a second or two. But over the long haul, using whitening floss daily may assist with stain removal in the narrow space between the teeth, an area that even in-office bleaching has a hard time reaching.

Whitening floss differs from standard dental floss in its use of mild abrasives, typically silica

Whitening Kits

Colgate Visible White is the only professional whitening system by Colgate. It is available in hydrogen peroxide concentrations of 5%, 7% and 9%. The 9% concentration will provide the best results and is equivalent to 30% carbamide peroxide. This system requires custom fabricated bleaching trays.

How does Colgate Visible White work?

Since this system requires bleaching trays. The bleaching gel is placed into the trays and fitted over your teeth. It is worn for 30 minutes a day for 3-14days.

This stuff works, and it works well! Results can be seen in only 1 – 3 days. Because this system uses custom fabricated trays, it is considered the “gold standard” in teeth bleaching. If you have been disappointed by over-the-counter products, we highly recommend this product.
