If you are looking for that dazzling smile that will turn heads this holiday season, the GLO teeth whitening system offered at Washington Center for Dentistry in Washington D.C. is the perfect at-home whitening treatment to brighten your teeth on your own terms.

Professional at-home teeth whitening from Washington Center for Dentistry is one of our most convenient and popular cosmetic dental treatments. Over time, your teeth can develop unattractive stains and become unappealing. These stains can move deep into the enamel, making it harder for you to keep your smile intact. With the GLO at-home teeth whitening system, you’ll be able to clean the stains from the surfaces of your teeth, giving you a brighter, whiter smile.

Brighter teeth in a few easy steps

The GLO teeth whitening process can give you a brighter smile in just four easy steps. Once you begin your treatment, you’ll first apply the GLO Lip Treatment to keep the gel solution from getting on your lips. Next, apply a small amount of GLO gel on the provided applicator and brush a thin layer on the front, top, and bottom of the teeth. For the final step, just insert the mouthpiece and turn the power on. The mouthpiece will turn off after eight minutes, and your treatment is done.

How the GLO teeth whitening process works

At-home teeth whitening uses hydrogen peroxide that breaks apart the compounds that cause stains to stick to your tooth enamel. The peroxide compound combined with heat and light technology unlocks the chemical bonds that keep those stains intact, thus creating a whiter look. The GLO teeth whitening system can lighten your teeth up to nine shades. For the best results, we recommend you use the treatment eight minutes a day for a whole week.

The duration of your teeth whitening results will vary surrounding your situation. Proper oral hygiene, such as brushing and flossing daily, and avoiding certain staining foods and beverages, including coffee, tea, chocolate, and red wine, will help maintain that long-lasting bright smile.

Is at-home teeth whitening safe?

At-home teeth whitening is a safe and virtually painless procedure that you apply in the privacy of your own bathroom. Dentists have been using hydrogen peroxide on teeth for more than a century, and the amount contained in the whitening gel is to use on your enamel and will not cause any damage. Some people may feel minor pain and discomfort, but this is rare and does not last very long. If sensitivity does occur, it’s best to avoid hot or cold beverages and foods for 24 hours.
