 Looking to have a whiter, brighter smile? In today's world,
you've probably seen all kinds of methods that claim they'll accomplish
this. However, if you're not interested in investing several weeks of
treatments, dealing with cumbersome mouth trays, and achieving relatively
limited shade improvements, consider the revolutionary, safe and easy
“BriteSmile” process. With just a one-hour treatment session,
BriteSmile can lighten your teeth up to eight shades without sensitivity
problems and with long-lasting results!
Safe & Effective, A Worthwhile Elective
If you’re interested in having your smile brightened,
we recommend that you first talk with us regarding your specific goals
so that we can evaluate how teeth whitening might impact your particular
situation. Some people are simply better candidates than others for a
successful teeth whitening treatment. For example, if your teeth are darkened
to a yellow, brown, or orange tinge due to age, coffee, tea, or smoking,
chances are very good that teeth whitening will bring satisfactory results.
However, if your teeth are a dark gray tone from fluorosis, smoking or
tetracycline use, whitening results may be a bit less dramatic; plus,
whitening does not lighten artificial materials such as resins, silicants
or porcelains. Finally, teeth with periodontal disease or worn enamel
typically do not respond well to whitening. In any case, after whitening,
your new, brighter smile will be preserved the longest if you're willing
to forgo such habits as smoking, drinking coffee and drinking tea.
Q. Why BriteSmile?
A. It's simple, convenient, and the dramatic results are achieved in just
one visit. You'll find the procedure comfortable, relaxing and performed
by a dental professional.
Q. How does it work?
A. A combination of 15% hydrogen peroxide based gel and a gas plasma blue
light creates a chemistry of teeth whitening that results in a smile many
times brighter then the one you come in with and it's all done in about
an hour!
Q. Is it safe?
A. Yes or we wouldn't offer it. Universities and researchers have proved
the procedure safe in independent clinical studies. It will not soften
tooth enamel or existing fillings. The gums are protected and only a trained
professional will perform the procedure.
Q. How much does it cost?
A. For just $500 you're finished in just one visit. And to keep your smile
white we will provide you with a take-home touch-up kit for an additional
$125.
Q. How long will the results last?
A. It will last three to five years depending on your lifestyle. Certain
habits (tobacco, coffee, tea, dark soft drinks and infrequent dental visits)
can work against the results. When you follow our recommended maintenance
program and regular professional dental care you can maintain good results.
Q. Will it whiten existing dental work?
A. BriteSmile may remove stains from crowns, veneers or colored fillings.
Each case is individual and replacement may be needed to match your new
"BriteSmile."
Q. Will it hurt?
A. This is a very comfortable process. Few patients have experienced a
slight ache. If you have very sensitive tissue then discuss this with
the dentist. He may recommend taking whatever you normally take for a
headache (e.g. Advil or Tylenol).
Q. What is the maintenance?
A. The only real maintenance is to use your touch up kit when needed and
good oral hygiene with a Sonicare toothbrush.
All of our patients have been really pleased with the results.
