GLO Teeth Whitening in Scottsdale, AZ
The color of your teeth is among the most important aspects of your smile. People notice it, and our society associates whiter teeth with people who are more confident, friendlier, and more attractive. Enamel color often does change over time. Your teeth can dull or become discolored due to genetics but also due to the foods you eat, drinks like coffee and wine, tobacco, and so forth. Regular brushing and flossing can certainly help stem the tide, but they generally are not effective in undoing any dullness and discoloration that has already occurred. At Scottsdale Cosmetic Dentistry Excellence, we’re proud to offer GLO in-office teeth whitening, which is among the best options available for improving the color of your teeth.
How Does GLO Teeth Whitening Work?
GLO teeth whitening is effective because it combines three important elements:
- Bleaching gel
- Mouthpiece
- Lights
The bleaching gel used at Scottsdale Cosmetic Dentistry Excellence is a highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide solution. It does not contain alcohol, carbamide peroxide, or any of the other harmful ingredients that are present in many other teeth whitening gels on the market. Our team will apply the gel to your teeth, and the gel will help to break down those stains that have built up over the years. The gel is effective because it separates the bonds between the molecules that make up the enamel stains. This makes the stains less visible and lets the natural whiteness of your teeth shine through.
The mouthpiece is important because it keeps the gel in place. It ensures that there is maximum contact between the gel and the surface area of your teeth. The guard is secure, and it keeps oxygen from escaping, which is very important to ensuring that the whitening gel is as effective as possible.
The GLO in GLO teeth whitening stands for Guided Light Optics. Guided Light Optics Technology involves a series of LED lights that are integrated into the mouthpiece and heats up the gel. This is a chemical reaction that activates the gel and causes it to work not just more effectively but faster too. It is the combination of gel, mouthpiece, and lights that make GLO teeth whitening such a successful and popular option.
The Process
When you visit us at Scottsdale Cosmetic Dentistry Excellence for GLO teeth whitening, the first step will be to clean your teeth, followed by a light application of the gel on the front surfaces of your teeth. For your comfort, you will then receive a protective layer for your gums and lips before the mouthpiece is installed and the lights are activated. Once the mouthpiece is in, the entire treatment takes just 32 minutes. You will take the mouthpiece as well as some additional gel home so that you can continue the process there. Just 32 minutes a day over the next five days can give you tremendous results that will last. Typical results are 6-10 shades whiter. The take-home kit that we will give you is much more effective than any store-bought kit, and the treatment will never cause your teeth to be more sensitive, as is the case with many other whitening options.
