One-Hour Tooth Whitening

Your Lightest Teeth by Tonight!
 A bright, dazzling smile can light up any room and make people stop and take notice.

Your smile is a gift. Don’t let dark or discolored teeth stand in the way of sharing your gift with the world. Treat yourself to a little ‘Smile Therapy’ and have your teeth whitened and brightened today with our BriteSmile tooth-whitening system.

BriteSmile uses powerful, yet gentle, light energy to whiten your teeth in just one hour, while you relax and watch a great movie on DVD! It’s an easy way to improve your overall appearance and enjoy the smile you’ve always wanted.

Relax and Whiten at the Same Time

Whitening teeth is one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments to improve and invigorate a smile. The BriteSmile procedure brightens your smile in one quick office visit, often making the color of your teeth many shades lighter.

Standing to benefit from this state-of-the-art tooth whitening system are teeth that are stained from wear and tear over time as well as teeth that are discolored from the effects of certain beverages and foods (red wine, coffee and tea are the most common culprits).

Whitening under our patented blue light for about an hour really does work wonders. It’s such an exciting dental visit that you will not be able to wait to tell your family and friends how easy it was. Usually, our patients relax, kick back and watch a movie on our DVD player. Some listen to their favorite music while they wait for their whiter, brighter smile.

For many patients, this procedure is just the first step in remaking a smile with the skill and artistry of cosmetic dentistry. Following the whitening treatment, newly placed all-porcelain crowns, porcelain veneers, and/or dental bonding material are matched perfectly to the new lighter color created by this tooth whitening sensation called BriteSmile.

Here’s how Britesmile works:

• Patients meet with the doctor to review the procedure and talk about the results they can expect for their smile.
• Patients relax in our BriteSmile suite while our technician takes “before” photos to record the original color of the teeth.
• The technician prepares the mouth for treatment.
• The technician places a soft holder to gently hold back the lips during treatment.
• The technician applies a special gel to protect the gum tissue.
• The technician applies a special bleaching gel on the teeth that will react with the special blue light to lighten the color of the teeth.
• The technician reapplies bleaching gel to the teeth every 20 minutes for about an hour—until the session is complete.
• The technician removes protective gel from the gums and removes bleaching gel from the teeth.
• The technician snaps a photo of the newly lightened teeth.
• The technician presents before-and-after photos to the patient to view the results.
• The doctor reviews the results.
• You admire your whiter, brighter teeth!
