Okemos, Lansing, East Lansing MI
Teeth whitening is a commonly performed cosmetic dental treatment and is often praised for its affordability. Now, we aren’t talking about a box of whitening strips from the store. Instead, we’re referring to top-notch professional teeth whitening that provides noticeable results with a reduced chance of sensitivity or negative reactions. Sure, store-bought whitening treatments come with a cheaper price tag, but most people report being dissatisfied with their results. Talk about a waste of time and money! So, why is teeth whitening done best at our Okemos dental practice? Today on the blog, Dr. Christine Tenaglia tells all about the best teeth whitening product available.
GLO Teeth Whitening
Tenaglia Smiles offers GLO teeth whitening for exceptional results. Guided Light Optics or GLO is an FDA-registered system created by one of the top aesthetic dentists in the country. Using a patented technology that combines warming heat acceleration from a blue LED light and proprietary whitening gel, patients receive accelerated results in as little as one 30-minute treatment. The risk of tooth sensitivity is minimal when using GLO thanks to its shortened treatment time.
Will GLO teeth whitening make my teeth sensitive?
GLO teeth whitening treatments are effective but gentle. Most patients report little to no tooth sensitivity. The whitening gel is thick, so it remains on your teeth and will not smear on your gums, causing irritation. The product is cruelty-free, vegan, and gluten-free. The gel is also free from carbamide peroxide and alcohol, making the whitening gel safe, yet effective.
Will GLO teeth whitening whiten my dental restorations?
Yes! This might be one of the reasons that GLO teeth whitening is the best whitening product on the market. Many teeth whitening products will not alter the color of dental restorations, but GLO teeth whitening is different. GLO can reduce stains on crowns, bridges, veneers, and fillings. Keep in mind, however, that GLO whitening treatments can only whiten restorations to their original brightness.
How long should my GLO teeth whitening results last?
Teeth whitening results aren’t permanent, although you can prolong your results. First, take exceptional care of your teeth by brushing them twice a day and flossing daily. Dr. Tenaglia also recommends that you receive dental cleanings and exams twice a year. Additionally, limit your consumption of staining foods and beverages, and avoid using tobacco. However, touch-up treatments are usually enough to maintain results. If you follow through when you need touch-ups, you can enjoy a bright, white smile for the long haul.
