Teeth Whitening with BriteSmile®

Teeth whitening treatments have become extremely popular over the past decade, and as a result there have been several advancements in the methods used to whiten teeth. Many of these whitening systems are very effective and you can achieve some great results. The quickest results are often obtained with whitening treatment at your dentist's office.

The BriteSmile® System

The BriteSmile® Tooth Whitening System is a procedure that must be performed at a dentist's office or a BriteSmile® spa. As with many in office whitening treatments, the BriteSmile® system has been shown to be very effective at whitening teeth several shades in a single visit, depending on how stained your teeth are. The BriteSmile® treatment lasts approximately one hour, in which patients can relax by watching TV or reading. During the treatment, a whitening gel containing 15% peroxide is applied to the teeth; at this point a blue plasma or LED bleaching light is used to activate the gel and accelerate the whitening agent.

Safe and Effective Treatment

BriteSmile® is considered to be a safer in office treatment than many others as the whitening gel contains less peroxide and has a pH of 6.4l, in addition to the fact that the light used to activate the gel is not as powerful as the laser light treatments. The BriteSmile® Teeth Whitening System involves two 20-minute sessions, and most often only one visit is necessary to see significant improvement. You may also choose to continue using some home BriteSmile® products to help maintain your white teeth much longer. The BriteSmile® Teeth Whitening System is one of the most popular professional treatments available.
