Questions and answers

How white will my teeth get?

In clinical studies, BriteSmile has been able to achieve more than 8+ shades whiter on average. 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, our dentist will personally analyze your teeth and provide you with a customized recommendation. Even severe discolouration can be treated to yield very good results. However, the more difficult cases can sometimes require a more lengthy session than our standard  3 x 20 minute treatment.

Is it safe and will it hurt?

The procedure is completely safe. The BriteSmile procedure will not damage enamel or existing fillings. The primary ingredient in 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%, much lower than other whitening gels that often contain  as much as 35%-50%.

The majority of our clients experience no pain or sensitivity during or after the BriteSmile Professional Teeth Whitening treatment. A small percentage of customers may experience a minor dull „ache“ or  temporary sensitivity following the procedure. Taking some sort of analgesic almost always resolves the feeling. It is best to avoid very hot or very cold drinks for the first 24 hours if there is any tooth sensitivity.

Can BriteSmile whiten crowns,facets ?

The BriteSmile professional  teethwhitening treatment has been  successful at  removing stains  from crowns, facets. However,  whitening procedures in general  can not change the color of  crowns and facets.We recommend that you discuss your situation with a BriteSmile dentist to determine what you can expect.

How long does it last?

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 cleaning, can work against the results. Regular professional care and use of the BriteSmile Professional Whitening Maintenance Products can help maintain your whiteness for 2-3 years. Some people  may prefer to do the BriteSmile whitening treatment more frequently.
