Teeth Whitening

What is reNUE™?

reNUE™ is an in-office procedure and an at-home kit for professional teeth whitening that whitens teeth up to 8 shades in 30 minutes.

Is whitening with reNUE™ safe?

Yes! Using hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, when under the supervision of a dental professional, is perfectly safe and effective.

Am I a good candidate for reNUE™?

We recommend a consultation with your dentist to make sure no underlying oral health issues exist. We also recommend a professional teeth cleaning before your teeth whitening appointment. As with any other whitening, you should treat existing issues before whitening your teeth.

Consult your dentist if you are:

Pregnant or breastfeeding
Under the age of 18
Currently being treated by a physician for a serious illness or disorder (e.g. AIDS, uncontrolled diabetes, etc.)
Light sensitive and are being treated with PUVA (psoralen + UV Radiation) or any other photochemotherapy
Are taking any photo-reactive drugs or substances, whether over-the-counter, prescription, or homeopathic

How does reNUE™ differ from over-the-counter (OTC) kits?

reNUE™ is a professional whitening system that is administered by a dentist. OTC systems can sometimes be less effective than professional systems. Many OTC products can take a week to show results. reNUE™ works in only 30 minutes.

How long after a whitening can I eat or drink?

Try not to eat and drink for an hour after the session. For the first 24 hours, we recommend avoiding coffee, tea, cola, etc., or any foods that have the tendency to stain teeth. Use a straw when drinking anything that can stain teeth.

Are there any side effects?

Sensitivity during and/or after a whitening occurs with some patients but will go away. Patients who have existing sensitivity, recession, exposed dentin, exposed root surfaces, recently cracked teeth, open cavities, leaking fillings, or other dental conditions that allow penetration of the gel into the tooth are more susceptible to sensitivity.
