You can feel confident in your decision to have our dental professionals whiten your teeth. Clinical testing has proven that the procedure is safe and sound. Safety studies conducted at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey found conclusively that BriteSmile whitening resulted in no structural change in teeth; no adverse impacts on fillings and no softening of tooth enamel. And these study results were confirmed by senior researchers at New York University. See our in-depth safety studies under "How BriteSmile Works."

The pH balanced proprietary gel is not harmful to the gums and because it is not ingested, the gel does not carry many other risks or side-effects of other options in the marketplace.

Unlike the "do-it-yourself" at-home whitening options, dentists and dental assistants perform every aspect of the BriteSmile process. Before moving forward with the procedure, our dentist examines your mouth and gums to ensure they are healthy. If any problems are detected, you are referred back to your own family dentist. Additionally, BriteSmile's whitening gel has a very small amount of hydrogen peroxide gel which further ensures the safety of your teeth and gums.
