Teeth become stained and discolored from coffee, tea, colored carbonated drinks, red wine, and smoking. There are many New York City teeth whitening systems performed by certified dentists and their staff to produce long lasting and beautiful results.

Teeth are cleaned and plaque is removed before any cleaning procedure is performed. The hydrogen-peroxide based whitening gel is applied to the teeth before the laser or lighting tool is used to activate the whitening. Some procedures require certain tools and others do not require the use of tools at all. Laser whitening is the most expensive method. Crystals in the gel are activated by the laser light to penetrate enamel and cause the whitening effect on the teeth. This method is a favorite of patients with sensitive teeth and is completed in one visit. Britesmile was the first non-laser method available. The whitening gel is combined with another compound before applying to the teeth. This mixture is activated by a gas plasma or LED bleaching light which works on both the upper and lower teeth simultaneously. Three applications take one hour to complete.

Zoom Whitening Treatments came out after Britesmile and is similar to that method. Zoom Whitening has been featured on the television show Extreme Makeover. This process uses a mercury halide light with an infrared filter to decrease any heat felt on the teeth. Both the upper and lower teeth can be done at the same time in about one hour. The Opalescence Teeth Whitening System uses the whitening gel and another separate component mixed together. A bleaching light or the standard curing light for hardening newly installed fillings can be used if desired. Since the lighting instrument only works on one tooth at a time, three applications take about sixty to eighty minutes. LumaCool uses a whitening compound that results from mixing a whitening powder and liquid. An LED or xenon halogen light activates the whitening agent. Three applications are completed in one half hour session.

The Niveous Whitening System utilizes a ready to use whitening gel that includes a compound to activate the gel. This compound is applied with applicator brushes. One tooth at a time is worked on, and the two applications in one session generally takes less than one hour. The whitening gel used in the Sapphire Teeth Whitening System includes a special ingredient to minimize sensitivity. The use of a plasma arc light is optional. Two applications in one session usually takes sixty to ninety minutes. Beyond Power Whitening System uses a halogen bleaching light on the whitening gel applied to teeth. Both upper and lower teeth are simultaneously whitened in three treatments in one session that takes about 30 minutes.

LaserSmile uses an LED laser with the whitening gel. Two applications take one session of about thirty minutes. The NUPRO Illumine System uses the same whitening gel but does not require a laser or light instrument. Three applications are applied in one session that generally takes sixty to seventy minutes. Professional teeth whitening by a certified dentist and staff offers immediate results. A return visit every six months ensures a bright smile that will last a long time.
