 In celebration of Ultradent’s 40th Anniversary this year, we’ve been sharing stories from Ultradent's employees about meaningful moments, sentimental memories, exhilarating milestones, and turning points in their careers that have come as a result of their time at Ultradent. For this edition of “40 Years of Stories,” we thought we’d chat with a couple of Ultradent’s vice presidents about their experiences at Ultradent, their thoughts on leadership, and their memories with Ultradent’s founder and CEO, Dr. Dan Fischer, throughout the years.

 You’ve seen those awful tetracycline tooth stains before. Perhaps you’re the one struggling with them. Perhaps you thought there was no hope to get a white, stainless smile except extremely expensive veneers. Meet Karen Stein. She was born and raised in Salt Lake City. Sometime between when Karen was three and eight years old, a doctor treated a common illness she had with tetracycline, a type of antibiotics that at the time, medical professionals did not know would stain her teeth forever. Well, at least that’s what Karen thought. She says,

 Heinz Seidl General Manager of Northeast Europe 13 Years at Ultradent I have so many crazy, wonderful memories from my time here at Ultradent, and one of them is my memory of how I first learned about Ultradent. It’s a wild coincidence that I’ve never forgotten. It all started in Autumn 2004. Although I didn’t work in the dental industry, I visited an old friend of mine in Cologne, Germany, who was there for a local trade show. When I walked into the trade show, my immediate perception of the whole show was dark, boring, and full of uninspired people in suits all over the place. That is…except for one booth that was completely outstanding to me. This particular booth had far more visitors than any of the others, and the people behind its counters looked open, energetic, and friendly. They all looked like they had a story to tell. However, the most obvious difference was how they were dressed. They all wore colored shirts that I later learned represented the three flavors of the precursor product to Opalescence Go® whitening, the Tréswhite disposable whitening system. The flavors were Mint, Melon, and Peach. I knew this company was different.

## [5 Questions with Dr. Fischer, Opalescence® Whitening Edition](https://blog.ultradent.com/from-the-desk-of-dr-fisher-july-27-2018?hsLang=en)

 1\. This month we’re launching our My Smile is Powerful Opalescence® Whitening Systems campaign. What does the phrase, “my smile is powerful” mean to you? We firmly believe that all smiles are powerful. The phrase “my smile is powerful” relates back to the things I’ve been saying in my lectures for years. The smile—the lips and the teeth—are the number one body language communicator. In fact, statistics show that when people first meet, 50% of people look at the other person’s eyes first, and the other 50% notice the smile and teeth first. A thousand words can be communicated in an instant with a smile. It’s a fabulous communicator! It radiates the inner feeling and soul of the other person, and it enables them to communicate beyond words, or it accentuates words in an instant. It is so powerful.

## [Opalescence My Smile Is Powerful - The Truth About Tooth Whitening](https://blog.ultradent.com/opalescence-my-smile-is-powerful-truth-about-teeth-whitening?hsLang=en)

 Everyone’s smile is powerful. A smile can break down barriers, cut through tension, make a stranger feel welcome, and lift a friend’s day. The problem is that many people are too self-conscious to show their unique smile to the world, and Opalescence whitening is on a mission to change that. Whether someone has coffee- or wine-stained teeth, teeth that are a little crooked, or a smile flanked by dimples large or small, everyone has a reason to celebrate their uniqueness. Something that often helps those who are self-conscious about their smile is tooth whitening. However, concerns and questions abound about this hot topic: Will whitening damage my teeth? Exactly how white can I get my teeth? How long will the whitening last? Is the chemical used in tooth whitening toxic? We’re here to help, and in doing so, help your patients embrace their most confident, powerful smile. Let’s get right to it.

 One of the most important things that being an American gives me is freedom. Having grown up in, and then subsequently leaving the FLDS society–which was very oppressive and ultra-conservative, freedom is a big deal to me. The more in balance freedom and responsibility are, the more they work together towards good.

## [The Power of a Smile: How Facial Expressions Shape Mental Health](https://blog.ultradent.com/the-power-of-a-smile-how-facial-expressions-shape-mental-health?hsLang=en)

[Ultradent Products Inc.](https://blog.ultradent.com/author/ultradent-products-inc) | October 06, 2025

 Does smiling make us happy, or do we smile because we are happy? How much can our facial expressions influence our psychological health? These are questions scientists have asked for hundreds of years.

## [Dentistry Decoded: Insights from R&D—Curing Lights](https://blog.ultradent.com/dentistry-decoded-insights-from-rd-curing-lights?hsLang=en)

[Daniel Lewis](https://blog.ultradent.com/author/daniel-lewis) | March 12, 2024

 Not all dental curing lights are created equal and it’s crucial to understand the differentiating factors between lights before investing in one for your office. Irradiance vs power, beam size, even the tools used to measure light outputs all play major roles in how a curing light will function. To find true quality and efficiency in a light, a user must be able to wade through the waves of false and misleading claims often made in the world of dental curing light advertising—Ultradent’s Sr. VP of Research & Development, Neil Jessop, delves into these topics and more in this edition of Dentistry Decoded: Insights from R&D.

## [Irradiance vs. Power: Curing Light Performance](https://blog.ultradent.com/irradiance-vs.-power-curing-light-performance?hsLang=en)

[Daniel Lewis](https://blog.ultradent.com/author/daniel-lewis) | October 05, 2022

 As curing light technology improves, dentists are consistently sold on irradiance (mw per cm2) as being the defining factor in beam effectiveness. While there is no doubt irradiance adds value, it does not tell the full story of how well a light will cure various materials. Irradiance tests typically only show the irradiance of a very small portion of the light. Measuring the power distributed over the entire beam tells a more comprehensive story of its curing capabilities.
