Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

If I am pregnant or nursing, should I use this product?

There is no known hazard associated with whitening teeth while pregnant or nursing. However, consult your physician and your dentist if you have specific concerns.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Yes! Studies show from the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD Impact, April 1998, p.23) “Several studies, during the past five years, have proven bleaching to be safe and effective”.

A small percentage of people may experience some tooth sensitivity and gum irritation, which disappears once you stop using the product or by decreasing the amount of time you bleach your teeth. If sensitivity occurs, we recommend that you brush your teeth with fluoride toothpaste. This will eliminate any sensitivity.

Can teeth whitening hurt my gums?

Overfilling of your tray may cause temporary irritation. With proper use, GreatSmile's gel will have no impact on your gums. In fact, tooth whitening often improves gum health.

Will this product affect my crowns or fillings?

GreatSmile's gel will not affect fillings, crowns or other tooth colored restorations. Occasionally amalgam fillings may leave a grey residue in your tray. This is only surface stains from the filling.

How is Greatsmile different from other teeth whiteners?

GreatSmile uses fast-acting 22% carbamide peroxide in a stabilized pH balanced formula. Other lower strength gels may not deliver results as quickly or completely as GreatSmile. Also, there are no harmful acids or abrasives to damage your teeth or gums. Products sold over-the-counter in drugstores are under 6% hydrogen peroxide and they will not effectively bleach your teeth.

If Dentists charge from $450.00 to $900.00 for this service, how can GreatSmile charge so little?

Dentists charge fees for fabrication of the custom teeth whitening trays, chair time, molds of your teeth, technician costs, etc. Our impression trays are customized in the privacy of your own home at a time when it is convenient for you. Most insurance has no coverage for the high cost of cosmetic dentistry. That is why we developed this easy to use home kit. The GreatSmile Professional Teeth Bleaching System is the exact same product for much less.
