FAQ
How white will my teeth get?
In clinical studies, BriteSmile has been shown to whiten teeth up to 14 shades in one hour. Your results, of course, will vary, as your starting point may be 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 the consultation, we will discuss what you personally can expect with your results.
How long does it last?
Regular professional (dental) care and use of the BriteSmile Professional Whitening After Care products can help maintain your natural whiteness for two years or more. 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. For this reason, some people may prefer to do the BriteSmile whitening treatment more frequently.
How does it work?
First, we examine your teeth and gums for good oral health. Next, as you relax in the chair, the BriteSmile whitening gel is applied to your teeth and the patented BriteSmile light is positioned over your teeth to activate the gel. As you watch TV, listen to music or nap, your teeth will lighten and your natural whiteness will be restored in about an hour through a completely safe process through oxidation. Because of the unique BriteSmile chemistry and revolutionary blue wavelength light, a process that used to take many hours can now be accomplished in just one hour.
Is it safe?
Yes. You can feel confident with the BriteSmile tooth whitening system. Clinical testing has proven that the procedure is safe and sound.
The primary ingredient in the BriteSmile's gel is hydrogen peroxide, which has 
been safely used in teeth 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%, which is much lower than other whitening gels that often contain 35%-50% hydrogen peroxide. The pH balanced proprietary gel is not harmful to the gums and, because it is not ingested, the gel does not carry the risks or side effects of other options in the marketplace.
Unlike the "do-it-yourself" at-home whitening options, our well-trained staff control every aspect of the BriteSmile procedure.
Will it hurt?
The majority of our clients experience no pain or sensitivity. A very small percentage may experience a mild, dull "ache" for a couple hours, which is usually relieved by taking an analgesic, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. If there is any tooth sensitivity, it is best to avoid very hot or very cold drinks for the first 24 hours.
How does BriteSmile compare to other whitening options?
BriteSmile offers the most advanced technology available in teeth whitening. Clinical studies have proven BriteSmile whitens up to 14 shades in one hour, while a leading tray system, which whitened only 6 shades, took approximately two weeks. One study showed that a leading whitening toothpaste whitened only 1.5 shades after a month of use.
Is this procedure for everyone?
Virtually everyone wanting to whiten their teeth can benefit from using BriteSmile - including people with severe food, coffee, tobacco or tetracycline stains. A brief pre-whitening evaluation by Dr. Smith will determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. Young adults age 14 and up are good candidates for the procedure.
Will the procedure whiten my existing crowns/veneers/bonds, etc.?
Yes. The BriteSmile Professional Teeth Whitening treatment has been successful at removing stains from crowns, veneers and bonded teeth.
Can I have this done if I am pregnant?
While there is no data that suggests BriteSmile would be problematic for pregnant women, to be safe, we simply choose to postpone the procedure until after childbirth and nursing.
How can I maintain my new white teeth?
We recommend the following to maintain your new BriteSmile:
- Brush your teeth at least twice daily or after each meal; floss daily.
- Use the BriteSmile Whitening Toothpaste and the Rotadent toothbrush.
- You may wish to consider using other BriteSmile whitening products, such as the mouthwash and gum, which are both designed to prevent stains from adhering to the surfaces of teeth.
- Visit your dentist for regular cleanings and checkups (at least every 6 months).
