As the year winds down and the holiday season approaches, now is the perfect time to give your smile the care and attention it deserves. At Houston Dentists…
Whiter Teeth Are Possible With GLO Teeth Whitening
Your smile is your first impression, whether you’re meeting someone for the first time or are greeting someone you see every day. Naturally, you want your smile to look as bright, white and healthy as possible.
Unfortunately, everything from your diet to your daily habits can affect your smile. Whether you consume lots of dark foods like cola, red wine, coffee and dark chocolate, or you are a smoker, your teeth can easily become stained over time.
And it isn’t always easy to hide your smile, either. In fact, your teeth are still visible when you speak, so trying to keep discolored teeth under wraps can truly be an exercise in futility.
The GLO Teeth Whitening System Is The Answer
Thankfully, Dr. Pigneri has a solution to help whiten and brighten teeth stained by everyday use and even by vaping and smoking cigarettes. It’s called the GLO Teeth Whitening system, and it can be done right here in Dr. Pigneri’s office.
This revolutionary teeth-whitening system uses two different strengths of whitening gel in an in-office treatment, either 24 percent hydrogen peroxide or 30 percent hydrogen peroxide. The strength used in your individual treatment will be at the discretion of Dr. Pigneri and will be based on your starting shade, desired shade, age and level of sensitivity.
GLO Teeth Whitening Makes Whitening Teeth Easier
GLO Teeth Whitening is a quick, easy way to get teeth up to eight shades whiter in less than 60 minutes! Not only that, but unlike other teeth-whitening systems, the GLO Teeth Whitening system is also much more comfortable and can be done in our peaceful treatment room, so you can enjoy some rest and relaxation while your smile gets brighter! Imagine just lying back, relaxing and getting whiter teeth, all at the same time. What could be easier than that?
Am I A Good Candidate For The GLO Teeth Whitening System?
Whether you’re ready to improve your smile or are just beginning to do your research on teeth-whitening options, you may be wondering if you are a good candidate for the GLO Teeth Whitening system. The GLO Teeth Whitening system is great for many types of dental stains, such as food- and beverage-based stains and stains from smoking and vaping.
For those who do smoke and vape, however, we recommend you quit before your whitening treatment, as these stains will come back as soon as you start smoking again.
Another reason the GLO Teeth Whitening system may not work is if you have veneers, fillings or crowns, as this material cannot change shades with any teeth-whitening treatment.
GLO Teeth Whitening Is Convenient, Too
If you’ve already spent under an hour relaxing in our peaceful teeth-whitening oasis, chances are you want to keep the amazing benefits of your GLO Teeth Whitening treatment going for as long as possible. Or maybe you would just rather whiten your teeth at home.
That’s why GLO Teeth Whitening makes an at-home system, available from Dr. Pigneri. The GLO Teeth Whitening home system is a convenient and easy way to maintain your professional results or to start your own whitening journey from the comfort of your own home. The GLO Teeth Whitening home system uses 10 percent hydrogen peroxide for a bolder white than over-the-counter whitening products available at discount stores.
What You Should Know Before You GLO
The GLO Teeth Whitening system works best on clean teeth. Because of this, we recommend you book your dental exam and cleaning with Dr. Pigneri prior to your GLO Teeth Whitening treatment. This will clear away any plaque and tartar that could be discoloring the teeth, and give the GLO Teeth Whitening system a better chance to work on your individual smile.
The GLO Whitening system also works best on non-smokers or those who have quit smoking, so expect the best results if you fit into one of these two categories.
As for dietary changes, remember: If it can stain a white shirt, it can stain your teeth. That means beets, foods that are tomato-based or any other dark foods can potentially leave behind stains and discoloration on your smile. While the GLO Teeth Whitening system can remove up to eight shades of discoloration, it is important to maintain your results by scheduling repeat visits for whitening treatments, or to grab a home GLO Teeth Whitening kit to use between visits.
A common question some patients ask is, “Will the GLO Teeth Whitening system hurt my teeth?” The great news is that no, the GLO Whitening System will not harm your teeth, and because it uses hydrogen peroxide as its active ingredient, it should not cause any tooth sensitivity, either!
