How does the gel lighten natural tooth colour?

The gel diffuses through enamel and dentin and changes chromogenic molecules in natural teeth. It does not change the color of crowns, veneers, fillings, or other restorative materials, so shade matching must be planned.

How should you use Nite White trays safely?

Use only the gel amount and wear schedule supplied for your trays, wiping away gel that reaches the gums. Store the syringe as directed and report sensitivity rather than extending treatment to compensate.

What should be checked before using Nite White?

Ask the dentist whether cavities, gum recession, cracks, or existing restorations should be treated before whitening. Stop and seek advice for persistent pain, burning gums, or uneven color.

What should you ask about Nite White treatment?

Ask which shade change is realistic for your current teeth, how the trays should fit, and how restorations will be managed after whitening.

Frequently asked questions

Can home care remove the cause?

Home care may reduce irritation or debris, but it cannot repair damaged tooth structure or remove an established infection.

What should I watch for?

Watch for worsening pain, swelling, fever, bleeding, a loose restoration, or a change in chewing or swallowing.
