When your patients ask about teeth whitening, what’s your strategy for differentiating between all the options available? It goes beyond discussing available treatments, to explaining how teeth whitening works so patients are comfortable with the process and have clear expectations.
The proliferation of whitening solutions may give the impression that most are the same, but when patients want effective and safe results, it’s important to know the science behind these options so you can guide them in the right direction.
Philips Oral Healthcare professional whitening solutions offer safe, effective and clinically validated whitening gels so you can be confident in your recommendations. Their formula, developed together with dental professionals, combines amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), potassium nitrate and fluoride. This unique blend delivers dramatic whitening results while also minimizing sensitivity, improving whitening luster and being safe on enamel. Together, these help even patients with sensitivity have a comfortable experience as they achieve brighter smiles.
While each Philips whitening solution uses this professional formula, each option incorporates other technologies to give patients the experience and results they want. For patients who want the fastest and brightest results, Philips Zoom! WhiteSpeed combines 25% HP with blue LED technology to speed up whitening. This accelerated process whitens teeth up to 8 shades in 45 minutes.1 While 99% of patients experience little to no sensitivity with WhiteSpeed,2 Relief ACP is included to address any sensitivity issues that may arise. Zoom 25% HP gel used in combination with the Zoom! lamp targets staining components which HP gel alone cannot.3
Philips Zoom! take-home solutions offer the broadest variety of formulas to give patients their preferred experience. After trays are created from patients’ intraoral scans, they can choose from DayWhite and NiteWhite solutions based on their preferred wearing time. For patients who want to whiten for 30–90 minutes during the day, DayWhite offers different concentrations of HP. For patients who prefer to whiten overnight, NiteWhite solutions use CP to allow for a longer bleaching process. Whichever option patients choose, they’ll see optimum results after wearing trays for 2 weeks.
For patients who value convenience, grab & go Philips Sonicare Teeth Whitening Kits let patients bring the whole whitening experience into the comfort of their homes. Available in Advanced and Caring concentrations (9.5% HP and 6% HP), these kits include moldable whitening trays that let patients create semi-custom trays in the comfort of home, no chair time required.
