Tooth Whitening
BriteSmile Professional Teeth Whitening treatment consists of a gentle whitening gel activated by a special, patented light operating in the gentle "blue spectrum." The gel and light were both developed by BriteSmile, Inc. and are available exclusively at BriteSmile Professional Teeth Whitening Centres. Unlike traditional bleaching methods, with BriteSmile there's no fuss or mess and no gels or trays to take home. All you have to do is sit back and relax while the BriteSmile dental professionals do the rest. The patented BriteSmile light is not UV, heat or laser-activated. It is a gentle, blue light that is wavelength matched to our whitening gel to effectively whiten and brighten your teeth in just about an hour.
Home Whitening
How does it work?
Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth that will allow for custom trays to be made for your bleaching procedure. The Opalescence gel is placed in thin, comfortable trays and fitted over your teeth. As you whiten your teeth, carbamide peroxide is broken down and oxygen enters the enamel and dentine. This bleaches out the discoloured areas. The structure of the tooth is not changed. The colour of the tooth is simply made lighter.
Is It Safe?
Whitening your teeth, under the supervision of your dentist, has been proven safe in clinical studies over a period of many years. The primary ingredient in Opalescence is carbamide peroxide, which has been safely used to brighten the smiles of millions of people worldwide.
When will I see results?
Results are often seen after one night. Optimum natural whiteness usually occurs when the process is continued for a week to 10 days. Your dentist will go over what you can expect for your individual situation.
How do I keep my smile white?
After you have the white smile you've long desired, it's important to keep it that way. Practice good oral hygiene and always remember to brush after consuming staining food or beverages.
