Pro sys teeth whitening system
A Pro-Sys whitening system uses peroxide to lighten tooth stains, but the exact product steps and concentration should be checked first.
The short answer
A Pro-Sys whitening system is a peroxide-based tooth-whitening product, and its correct use depends on the specific gel, tray, and instructions supplied. Peroxide moves through enamel and dentin to break down stain molecules, while poor tray fit or excess gel can irritate the gums.
Which types of Pro-Sys whitening products exist?
The name may refer to a take-home tray system, an in-office system, or a product line with more than one formulation. Whitening changes the appearance of natural teeth, but fillings, crowns, veneers, and composite bonding do not lighten in the same way.
What should you check on the whitening product label?
Check the product label for the active ingredient, concentration, tray instructions, and contact time. Use only the supplied amount, keep gel off the gingival margin, and stop if burning, ulceration, or strong sensitivity develops.
When should a dentist examine you before whitening?
Arrange an examination before whitening if you have untreated decay, cracked teeth, gum inflammation, exposed roots, or unexplained sensitivity. A dentist can check the enamel, dentin, restorations, and tray fit before selecting a whitening plan.
Which Pro-Sys formulation and tray instructions apply?
Ask which Pro-Sys formulation you have, how the gel contacts your teeth, and whether any restorations will remain a different shade. Also ask how to manage sensitivity and whether a custom tray is appropriate for your mouth.
Frequently asked questions
Will Pro-Sys whiten a crown?
No. Whitening affects natural tooth structure, so a crown may need separate shade planning if the surrounding teeth change.
What if my teeth become sensitive?
Pause whitening and discuss the symptom with a dentist, especially if it persists or affects eating and drinking.
