What is BriteSmile!?
Whiter teeth, in about one hour . It's that simple! Years of yellowing as well as harsh staining from coffee, cigarettes, and red wine are almost magically erased in the time it takes to get a haircut, a manicure or lunch. In fact, there are clinical studies which prove that the BriteSmile! tooth whitening treatment resulted in an average improvement of 8+ shades whiter! Looking Great Has Never Been This Easy!
First you'll have a complimentary 10 minute consultation to answer all your questions and if you are interested in moving forward with the treatment, a dentist will then examine your teeth and gums to ensure that they're healthy for whitening at that time. Then, while you relax, watch TV, or even nap, our proprietary gel and blue light treatment work to whiten teeth to their optimal brightness.
What does the whole procedure look like?
1. Your gums and mouth are protected with isolation materials and a "Before" picture is taken.
2. The BriteSmile tooth whitening gel is professionally applied and activated by the light source.
3. After three 20-minute applications over a one-hour period, your tooth whitening is completed and your "After" picture is taken.
4. You rinse. You smile. Wow!

Want whiter, brighter teeth? A great option for you might be a professionally administered tooth whitening system. Patients with natural teeth that are discolored due to age, smoking or other extrinsic staining factors are excellent candidates for tooth whitening. Bleaching does not work as well on teeth that have intrinsic staining, stain from within the tooth. These stains are embedded deep into the dentin (the layer of the tooth beneath the enamel). Intrinsic stained teeth such as those that were injured or as a result of medication ingested while the teeth were forming such as tetracycline or fluoride will generally not give great results as a result of tooth whitening as those teeth that are not affected by medications, but - the teeth may appear to be brighter - these results will vary from patient to patient. Patients with these deep intrinsic stains can have other cosmetic options such as veneers and crowns to help achieve the desired results. The best results are with patients whose teeth are yellow, orange, or light musky brown in coloration. Dramatic results are sometimes seen in some patients in less than 1 hour in a dental office and will depend on the type of material used and the technique that the individual dental office uses.

How white is white?
In clinical studies, BriteSmile has been able to achieve 9+ shades whiter on average. Your results of course will vary as your starting point maybe different and everyone's teeth respond a little differently, but in virtually all cases, the results are dramatic. Ultimately, the goal will be to achieve your optimum, natural whiteness. During your first consultation for tooth whitening, your dentist will go over what you personally can expect for your individual situation.
Severe discoloration can be
treated and yield good results in many
instances. However, the more difficult cases
can sometimes require a more lengthy
treatment than the standard one-hour
treatment. Some enhanced results may also be
achieved when tooth whitening materials are
additionally used at home over a week or so.
An important note – The degree of whiteness
will vary from patient to patient, depending
on the structure of the teeth, the brand of
material that is used, the duration of time
that the system is used and on the way that
the material or system is administered by
your dentist.

How long do the results last?
BriteSmile!:The long-term
results depend primarily on the individual.
Certain habits, such as the use of tobacco
products, drinking a lot of coffee, tea,
dark soft drinks, and infrequent visits to
the dentist for regular cleanings, etc., can
work against the results. Regular
professional care will help maintain the
BriteSmile! up to 2 years. Some people may
prefer to do the BriteSmile! whitening
treatment more frequently. We are proud to
offer top quality products and services that
offers our patients safe and effective way
to dramatically whiter teeth – from our
professional one hour tooth whitening
treatment to several other premium teeth
whitening and whitening maintenance
products. We trust that, with BriteSmile!,
you will enjoy a whiter, healthier looking
smile for years and maintain your overall
dental health.Take-home Tooth Whitening Kits:Your
teeth will be lighter than they were and you
may need to re-whiten your teeth for one or
two nights every four to six months. This
will vary from individual to individual.
Back to top.
How’s it done?
BriteSmile!: Your dentist
will first examine your teeth and gums for
good oral health. Next as you relax in the
chair, a proprietary tooth whitening gel is
applied to your teeth and the revolutionary,
proprietary BriteSmile! light will be
positioned over your teeth to activate the
gel. As you watch TV, listen to music or
nap, your teeth will lighten to their
optimum, natural whiteness in about an hour.
At home tooth whitening: An impression is taken of
your upper and lower dental arches and
custom fitted clear trays are fabricated.
These trays will closely conform to your
teeth and allow a minimum amount of material
to come in contact with your teeth. Your
dentist or dental hygienist will provide an
overview of the quick and easy procedure and
you’re on your way to brightening your
Smile! In office procedures will generally
yield results within 30 minutes with most
patients. Using a take home kit will
generally improve the results and again
these results will vary from patient to
patient. Follow-up visits beginning the day
after first usage and continuing onto the
first and second week and third weeks may be
suggested and comparisons and evaluations of
your tooth shade will be done at that time.

Will it be uncomfortable?
The majority of our patients
experience no pain or sensitivity after the
BriteSmile Professional Tooth Whitening
treatment. A very small percentage of
patients may experience a minor dull "ache"
following the procedure. Taking an
over-the-counter analgesic like Tylenol™ or
aspirin almost always resolves the feeling.
In moderate cases, a clear dentist dispensed
fluoride rinse my help as well. It is best
to avoid very hot or very cold drinks for
the first 24 hours if there is any tooth
sensitivity.
Back to top.
Is it Safe?
BriteSmile!: Yes. The
BriteSmile! procedure will not soften enamel
or existing fillings. The primary ingredient
in the BriteSmile!'s gel is hydrogen
peroxide, which has been safely used in
tooth whitening for over 100 years and is
recognized as an effective whitening
ingredient by the dental community. The
percentage of hydrogen peroxide used in
BriteSmile!'s proprietary gel is only 15%,
much lower than other tooth whitening gels that
often contain 35%-50% hydrogen peroxide.
Unlike the "do-it-yourself" at-home
tooth whitening options, the dental team will
perform every aspect of the BriteSmile!
process. Before moving forward with the
procedure, your dentist examines your mouth
and gums to ensure they are healthy. If any
potential problems are detected, a
recommendation is made to correct the
problems before proceeding with BriteSmile!.
Additionally, BriteSmile! tooth whitening gel has
a very small amount of hydrogen peroxide gel
which further ensures the safety of your
teeth and gums. At-home or In-office tray
systems: At home or in-office tray systems
for whitening teeth with carbamide peroxide
under the supervision of a dentist has been
shown to safe for teeth and gums. Some
patients have experienced increased tooth
sensitivity and some temporary discomfort of
their gums. These symptoms tend to disappear
within 1-3 days after stopping the process.
Usually after the sensitivity disappears the
tooth whitening process can be started again and
usually the sensitivity does not return. In
any case, any reaction should be reported
immediately to your dentist or hygienist for
their special instructions. Over-the-counter
quick bleaching kits may cause problems that
you may be unaware of such as irritation of
the gums and surrounding soft tissue. Over
zealous use of over-the-counter home
bleaching can wear away tooth enamel,
especially due to the fact that these
solutions have a very high acid content. We
can’t over emphasize that these types of
procedures are best controlled at your
dentist’s office. Your progress will be
monitored carefully which will certainly
reduce most secondary effects. Only a
dentist can make your teeth their whitest.
