It’s ideal for anyone who wants immediate results.
Many dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure available. What is BriteSmile tooth whitening? BriteSmile is a bleaching process that lightens discoloration of enamel and dentin. What can cause tooth discoloration? There are many causes. The most common include aging and consumption of staining substances such as coffee, tea, or tobacco. During tooth formation, consumption of tetracycline, certain antibiotics, or excessive fluoride may also cause tooth discoloration. Who may benefit from teeth whitening? Just about anyone can benefit from teeth whitening. However, treatment may not be as effective or some as it is for others. Upon an oral exam, we can determine if you are a candidate for this procedure, including a shade assessment. Is teeth whitening becoming more popular? Absolutely! A bright, beautiful smile can make a big difference. BriteSmile Whitening System makes it easier and faster than ever before. Is teeth whitening safe? Yes, research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth under the supervision of a dentist is safe. In fact, many dentists consider whitening the safest cosmetic dental procedure available. As with any tooth whitening product, BriteSmile is not recommended for children under 13 years of age and pregnant or lactating women. Do the results last a long time? By following some simple post-whitening care instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than they were before. We recommend flossing, brushing twice a day, and avoiding eating and drinking things that can stain your teeth. Is there any difference between over-the-counter tooth whiteners and BriteSmile? Yes! Consulting with us is always the first step to whitening your teeth safely. Over-the-counter tooth whitening strips, brush-on gels, and toothpastes take weeks or months to whiten your teeth just a few shades. BriteSmile is clinically proven to whiten your teeth eight shades in one hour or six shades in just one weekend. How does the BriteSmile In Office System work? The BriteSmile light-activated whitening gel's active ingredient is hydrogen peroxide. As hydrogen peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching any colored substance while keeping the structure of the tooth unchanged. The BriteSmile light aids in activating the hydrogen peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth. Is the BriteSmile In Office procedure painful? No. During the procedure, patients can actually watch television or listen to music. Many fall asleep. Are there any side effects? Some people experience temporary increased tooth sensitivity to cold during treatment. These symptoms disappear within 1-3 days after interruption or completion of the treatment. How long is the procedure? The entire procedure takes approximately two hours. The procedure begins with a preparation period followed by one hour of bleaching. A five-minute fluoride treatment completes the procedure. We recommend a cleaning prior to the actual BriteSmile Whitening session for best results. |
