What Is GLO Teeth Whitening?
The GLO teeth whitening system is like no other. This dentist-developed, FDA-approved technology takes advantage of guided light optics (GLO), combining heat, LED light, and a powerful hydrogen peroxide gel to create a transformative whitening effect.
The key benefits of GLO teeth whitening include:
- No trays or strips: Leave messy trays and strips in the past. The GLO system is designed for comfort, using a specialized mouthpiece to deliver LED light and heat.
- Sensitivity-free technology: The whitening gel is specially formulated to prevent sensitivity, utilizing potassium nitrate as a protective barrier.
- Safe for enamel: With GLO, you don’t have to worry about damaging your enamel with acidic whitening gel.
- Brighter smile: The GLO teeth whitening system is clinically proven to whiten teeth by up to 12 shades.
How the GLO Whitening Process Works
Here’s what you can expect when you opt for in-office GLO teeth whitening at VIP Smiles:
- Preparation: We’ll ensure your teeth are totally clean, your gums are dry, and you’re ready for treatment.
- Apply the gingival barrier: Next, we’ll apply a special barrier to your gums to protect them from the whitening gel and prevent sensitivity.
- Apply the whitening gel: After that, it’s time to apply the whitening gel.
- Insert the GLO mouthpiece: We’ll insert the GLO mouthpiece and begin your 8-minute whitening session. The mouthpiece uses LED light and gentle heat to intensify the effects of the whitening gel.
- Additional whitening sessions: After removing the mouthpiece and wiping off the whitening gel, we’ll repeat steps three and four until we achieve the desired results.
- Finishing up: After that, all that’s left to do is remove the gingival barrier, clean up, and let you admire the results of your whitening treatment!
After your in-office treatment, you have the option of continuing your GLO teeth whitening journey with an at-home kit. The process is similar to the in-office treatment; however, the hydrogen peroxide gel is less concentrated, so you don’t have to apply a barrier to your gums. It’s recommended that you complete four consecutive at-home whitening sessions, one right after the other, to maintain the results of your professional treatment.
Why Choose GLO Over Other Whitening Systems?
One of the biggest advantages of GLO teeth whitening is the innovative mouthpiece. Unlike traditional trays or strips, the mouthpiece uses both LED light and heat to intensify the effects of the whitening gel. Patients can expect their teeth to be up to 12 shades whiter after just two 8-minute sessions at our office.
These benefits don’t just apply to in-office treatment. In fact, in a clinical trial, the GLO at-home system resulted in an average change of one shade more than drugstore whitening strips after just ten days of use.
GLO teeth whitening has proven to provide excellent results without pain or sensitivity. If you’ve had issues with other whitening treatments in the past, GLO is the solution you’ve been looking for.
Is GLO Teeth Whitening Right for You?
If you’re dealing with stains from coffee, tea, wine, smoking, or general discoloration, this innovative system is unlike any whitening treatment you’ve tried before.
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are ideal candidates for GLO teeth whitening. However, it’s important to note that teeth whitening is only effective for external staining. Internal discoloration due to dental trauma, fluorosis, infections, old metal fillings, and certain medications cannot be addressed through whitening treatments.
If you’re wondering whether GLO teeth whitening is right for you, don’t hesitate to reach out to us and schedule an appointment. We’d be happy to discuss your dental concerns and cosmetic goals to determine what treatment would work best for you.
