Fast, High Concentration At-Home Whitening
Wins the Compliance Race
The fastest wins the race. Achieving patient compliance and successful whiting cases has never been more achievable. FAST is what it takes to support whitening within the context of the real lives of your patients. Life-Like’s At-Home 30% Carbamide Peroxide provides the hub for these spokes of fast whitening:
Fast Treatments – Short treatments of just 20-30 minutes make each treatment easy. Fitting 20-30 minutes into the busy lives of patients is much more realistic than hour, two hour, or all-night treatments that require much more dedication. Fast treatments also help avoid the mental and logistical barriers that arise from long treatments. Short-term commitments are just easier to make.
Making It Routine – Because treatments are so short, it is easy to make them part of other routines. Now whitening can be done while showering, commuting, or watching a regular program - see related story Do It in the Shower.
Low Sensitivity – The short wear time of At-Home 30% means super low sensitivity because it avoids pulpal sensitivity caused by dehydration. Having lower sensitivity by using a higher concentration of carbamide peroxide may sound funny but it is the short wear time of fast whitening that is the key to preventing pulpal sensitivity – see related story Mysteries of Compliance & Sensitivity.
Reinforcement – Fast whitening means easily perceivable results and the instant gratification that keeps the patient engaged and enthused about whitening treatments. It is difficult for friends and family not to notice and make comments when the results are so fast, predictable, and perceivable. When it takes weeks for anyone to notice a change, it is easy to get discouraged or to just loose interest.
Low Treatment Days – Fast whitening with At-Home 30% Carbamide Peroxide only takes 7 to 10 days. Other whiteners may make this claim, but common sense will tell you there isn’t anything available that will whiten faster at-home than 30%. Seven to ten days stays within the common compliance window before most patients drop out – see the related article Compliance Window.
Dual Arch Whitening – Because treatments are so short, both arches can be whitened at the same time without TMJ concerns. And, because the results are so visible, there is less need to provide the contrast between arches. That means complete whitening cases can be done in half the time – just 7 to 10 days total!
You are a busy professional; your time is precious, so with which product would you be most likely to complete a full and successful whitening regimen?
