Dr. B,<br />
This is a great question due to the amount of whitening that is done in dental offices<br />
today. We have so many ways to whiten our patient’s teeth…in the office and<br />
at home. Many guides that come with a whitening kit, for example have inexpensive<br />
shade tabs for the patient and they are not very good. They offer only a few<br />
shade samples and sometimes none of the shades accurately reflect the color of<br />
the patient’s teeth. However, I have seen a product that works quite well and my<br />
patients really see the actual color of their teeth with it. The VITA Bleachedguide<br />
3D-Master is a new guide. This guide is highly recommended for monitoring the<br />
progress of teeth whitening. I like it because of the wide color range that it encompasses.<br />
The bleach shades that it contains mimic the results we see in contemporary<br />
aesthetic dentistry. What I mean by that is; they get really light! Get<br />
one of these guides and try it out to see if it is what you are looking for.<br />
Hope this helps,<br />
