Whitening technologies and products develop at a rapid pace. During the past few years many patients have discovered that most whitening products and procedures are not identical.

Laser light activated gels, home whitening kits, bleaching trays and other types of bleaching gels all have different effects for different patients.

Crest toothpaste and other similar product manufacturers are now commonly providing whitening agents available for routine home use.

More recently, consumers can now purchase their own "laser light" that supposedly mimicks professional teeth whitening products.

This highly competitive area of direct-to-consumer marketing unfortunately has produced problems for many and yet, ironically, led to the development of improved whitening products.

Sensitivity Issues in Teeth Bleaching

As a Reconstructive Dentist who is routinely involved with soft and hard tissue modification, Dr. Pohl has always maintained a focus on the tooth and gum sensitivity issues that can accompany different types of smile brightening products and treatments.

Discus Dental, creator of the Zoom technologies, gels and professional treatments used by dentists, even revised their original gel formula. Not too long after Zoom became popular, Zoom2 was created that produced less sensitivity side effects for some patients. Later, Power Zoom was developed and made available which has a more potent whitening agent yet may be unsuitable for some patients.

Individual Differences

As a general rule, a patient's current oral health condition, oral hygiene habits, nutrition, consumption preferences of stain causing foods and beverages and dental treatment histories determine what concentrations of bleaching solutions should be used that will minimize undesireable side effects.

Dr. Pohl quickly developed a keen understanding of the different gel products and solutions (both take home and professionally administered) and how they interacted with different types and conditions of gingival tissues and tooth structures.

Product Suitablility Assessment

Dr. Pohl has developed proprietary combinations of teeth whitening services and take home kits that enable patients to obtain nearly any degree of whiteness and brightness desired without the often devastating and painful side effects of increased tissue sensitivity.

In our practice, assessments are made for each and every patient, focusing on the characteristics of tooth enamel, supportive gum tissues, existence of potential lesions and dentin health.

There is no one-size-fits-all concept in dramatic tooth color change treatments. Each product has different whitening compounds. Zoom (administered in the office), Zoom! Kits (consumer grade take home supplies, Nite White and other Discus Dental agents all have unique qualities.

Dr. Pohl is able to recommend the best whitening procedure and product for every patient, which assures the cosmetic result possible, while minimizing the effect of sensitivity problems and even excessive bleaching which can make teeth appear translucent.
