GLO Whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, almost 90% of patients request whiter teeth. With so many people seeking brighter, whiter smiles, whitening technology has developed rapidly over the past few years. There are countless options and brands out there when it comes to teeth whitening: from strips, to whitening gel, in-office treatments, and devices that utilize light or heat to whiten teeth. 

We adopted GLO, a dentist invented whitening device, into our practice as our preferred whitening treatment after learning about the brand, ingredients, and process.

Though it’s lesser known than other methods of whitening, heat is a powerful tool to accelerate and amplify teeth whitening. A gentle yet measurable amount of heat helps hydrogen peroxide to sink into the outer layers of the teeth, accelerating whitening. This heat is powerful enough to push the hydrogen peroxide to react, yet gentle enough so as to not contribute to degradation of the teeth.

You can either do one 45-minute treatment in our office or purchase an at-home kit. With either option, you can visibly whiten your teeth up to 12 shades with GLO's patented Illuminating Heat Technology™. GLO Brilliant removes the appearance of stains and discoloration from teeth with results in as little as eight minutes. This product is formulated without harsh chemicals and is sensitivity-free.

Highlighted Ingredients:

  • Hydrogen Peroxide: Shown to remove the appearance of stains safely and effectively and visibly whiten teeth.

  • Potassium Nitrate: Helps reduce sensitivity.

Your individual maintenance program depends on a number of factors, including lifestyle, age, and original shade. We recommend first completing a full GLO whitening treatment to achieve your desired shade. After that, maintain your teeth whitening results with one day of whitening each month (three back-to-back applications), followed by another five to seven-day full GLO whitening treatment after six months. If you want a boost in brightening, it is safe to continue the use of your GLO device until your desired result is achieved.
