Limitations of Philips Whitespeed Whitening Lamps: Choosing the Right Solution for Your Dental Clinic

Teeth whitening has become one of the most sought-after procedures in the world of dentistry. Patients strive for a bright white smile, and modern technology allows achieving this goal faster and more effectively than ever before. One of the leaders in this field is the Philips Whitespeed whitening system. However, there are certain limitations to consider before integrating this technology into your clinic. In this article, we will explore these limitations and offer recommendations for the optimal use of the Philips Whitespeed system.

 How Philips Whitespeed Works

Philips Whitespeed is a professional teeth whitening system that uses an LED lamp to activate a hydrogen peroxide-based whitening gel. The procedure is conducted in several stages, significantly reducing the whitening time and increasing its effectiveness.

 Advantages of Philips Whitespeed

High efficiency: Teeth can be lightened by several shades in one session.

Speed: The procedure takes about 45 minutes.

Safety: The lamp does not heat the teeth, reducing the risk of damage to the tooth enamel and soft tissues.

 Limitations of Using Philips Whitespeed

Despite numerous advantages, the Philips Whitespeed whitening system has its limitations that dental clinics need to consider.

 Patient Type Limitations

Sensitive teeth: Some patients may experience increased tooth and gum sensitivity after the procedure, which can be problematic for those with pre-existing sensitivity.

Elderly patients: Elderly patients often have more stubborn stains that are harder to remove.

Patients with allergies: Some components of the whitening gel can cause allergic reactions.

 Technical Limitations

Equipment requirements: The Philips Whitespeed lamp requires regular maintenance and replacement of certain parts, which can increase the clinic's operating costs.

Staff training: Proper use of the system requires staff training, which demands time and additional expenses.

 Clinical Limitations

Effectiveness on different types of stains: Philips Whitespeed is more effective on surface stains from coffee, tea, and tobacco, but may be less effective on intrinsic discoloration caused by antibiotics or fluorosis.

Need for additional sessions: Achieving optimal results may require multiple sessions, increasing the overall treatment cost for the patient.

 Recommendations for Dental Clinics
 Patient Condition Assessment

Before starting whitening with Philips Whitespeed, conduct a thorough assessment of the patient's dental condition. Include:

Diagnosis of tooth sensitivity.

Assessment of the type and depth of stains.

Medical history for allergies and other medical issues.

 Training and Preparing Staff

Investing in staff training will pay off:

Conduct training sessions: Organize courses for dentists and hygienists on the proper use of the Philips Whitespeed system.

Manufacturer support: Utilize technical support and consultations from Philips to ensure maximum procedure effectiveness and safety.

 Managing Patient Expectations

It is important to inform patients about possible limitations and realistic results in advance:

Pre-procedure consultation: Explain to the patient what results they can expect based on the condition of their teeth.

Post-procedure care: Provide recommendations for post-procedure dental care to maintain the result and reduce sensitivity.

 Conclusion

Philips Whitespeed is a powerful teeth whitening system that can significantly improve the appearance of your patients' smiles. However, to achieve the best results, it is important to consider the existing limitations and follow the recommendations for using this technology. By ensuring quality staff training and proper patient diagnostics, your clinic can effectively use the Philips Whitespeed system and provide your patients with safe and effective teeth whitening.

Nevertheless, there is a way to overcome some of the limitations of the Philips Whitespeed lamp. The Bleach-Infiniter attachment increases the number of possible whitening cycles up to 100,000, which significantly reduces the cost per procedure. This innovation makes the Philips Whitespeed system even more attractive and cost-effective for dental clinics, allowing for more treatments and better patient satisfaction.
