Teeth Whitening

As you age, your smile may begin to dull and leave you without confidence as your “pearly whites” have turned a light shade of yellow. This is totally normal! Drinking coffee, age and lifestyle habits will eventually lead to your teeth changing to an undesirable shade. We love offering a whitening product that leaves our patients confident and wanting to flash a bright smile!

We currently offer Lumibrite, a convenient, at-home tooth whitening system made by Den-Mat which has been a trusted manufacturer of dental products for over 40 years. Lumibrite 32 is the strongest concentration available, ensuring you achieve a whiter smile in just 1 to 2 weeks with little to no sensitivity. The great news is Lumibrite 32 can whiten your teeth up to 9 shades!

How does Lumibrite 32 work?

Lumibrite 32 contains 32% carbamide peroxide, one of the highest concentrations available in a take-home whitening system. Both carbamide peroxide and hydrogen peroxide work exactly the same: The peroxide breaks down and forms bubbles of oxygen that remove discolorations.

Is Lumibrite 32 safe?

Lumibrite 32 is not only safe but highly effective. It contains carbamide peroxide, an established bleaching agent. Carbamide peroxide is actually gentler than hydrogen peroxide, making Lumibrite safe for patients to use at home. Lumibrite is formulated to eliminate tooth sensitivity, which is a common issue with most teeth whitening systems on the market.

How do I use Lumibrite 32?

Each package of Lumibrite 32 contains 2 syringes of whitening gel. Each syringe contains 2.5 ml of product. One syringe is good for 3 dual-arch whitening treatments.

Lumibrite 32 is used with your custom or boil-and-bite dental trays.

1. Floss and brush your teeth.
2. Load a thin layer of Lumibrite 32 gel into each tray.
3. Insert the trays into your mouth and press them lightly for good contact. To ensure protection of your gums and mouth, as well as prevent product waste, don’t overload your trays. The teeth do not need to be completely coated with gel in order to whiten. If your tissues are sensitive, you can rub petroleum jelly onto your lips and gums before each bleaching session to prevent irritation.
4. Leave the trays in for 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Remove the trays.
6. Rinse your mouth with warm water and brush your teeth again.
7. Clean your trays thoroughly with your toothbrush and cool, clear water and store.

Follow the above steps for each treatment. You can use Lumibrite 32 twice daily for 14 days. If you are interested in achieving a whiter, brighter smile, please contact our office today at 480.948.0560.
