PearlInBrite is a proprietary teeth whitening system pioneered by Dr. Jan Linhart to speed up the process so that patients experience results immediately. In as little as one session (two hours), patients can expect a 9-10 shade change in the color of their teeth, depending on the degree of previous staining.
PearlInBrite is a laser whitening system, which, like all whitening procedures, use peroxide to bleach the teeth. With ordinary laser teeth whitening, the molecules in the peroxide are “excited” by laser energy to break down the stains and whiten teeth. Dr. Linhart’s procedure, however, uses two different lasers instead of one, and three laser-specific gels to achieve an optimum white.
PearlInBrite Laser Tooth Whitening is far more effective than any other tooth whitening system. However, for results to last, patients must maintain proper dental hygiene and continue to brush and care for their teeth on a regular basis. How can you make the most of your PearlInBrite experience after the procedure? Here are 5 aftercare tips to make your teeth whitening treatment last longer.
1.) Brush, Floss, and Care for Your Teeth Regularly
This is important to the overall state of your oral health–not just maintaining the whiteness of your teeth. However, proper dental hygiene does remove plaque and debris that can stain your enamel, thus preserving your bright new smile. Brushing your teeth after every meal is ideal, although twice a day is more than efficient. You should also be flossing once a day, and consider adding mouthwash to your daily regimen. Consult with your dentist if you have any questions about specific whitening toothpastes or similar at-home products.
2.) Consider Using PearlInBrite Whitening Enhancer
What better way is there to maintain the results of your PearlInBrite Whitening Enhancer at home than by using a product designed by PearlInBrite’s creator himself, Dr. Jan Linhart? This enhancer gel acts as a supplement to your everyday toothpaste and eliminates the need to wear whitening strips. It uses hydrogen peroxide to enhance your toothpaste, and you don’t even have to brush separately! Simply apply the gel on top of your toothpaste before brushing.
3.) Minimize Exposure to Substances that Stain
Coffee. Red Wine. Certain foods with rich sauces. All the good stuff. While you don’t need to eliminate these from your diet completely, minimizing your consumption of them can help prolong the effects of your whitening treatment. After all, these are the foods and beverages that can leave lasting stains. Smoking is another substance that causes discoloration and yellowing of the enamel. If you do consume any of these, we recommend brushing or using mouthwash soon after to minimize the chance of lasting stains.
4.) Maintain Regular Dental Cleaning Visits
Regularly scheduled visits with your dentist are necessary anyway to preserve the health of your teeth. But receiving your cleaning at least twice annually from your dental hygienist can help minimize any new stains accumulated since your last PearlInBrite treatment.
5.) Consider Subsequent PearlInBrite Treatments
The results of PearlInBrite can last for a long time, and can be prolonged even longer in patients who follow the aforementioned tips. But the truth is that no whitening treatment is permanent. The daily wear-and-tear we put our teeth through eventually catches up to us, and we’ll eventually need to have our teeth whitened again. Fortunately, with PearlInBrite’s exemplary whitening effects, this doesn’t have to happen often. But if you’re noticing that your smile is losing a bit of the luster it had after your first PearlInBrite treatment, consider contacting our office to schedule another one. There’s nothing wrong with a little touch up.
As with your teeth’s overall strength and health, the whiteness of your teeth can last for a long time if you take care of them properly. Daily brushing, the use of dentist-recommended whitening products, and regular visits to your dentist can make your PearlInBrite smile brighter for longer.
