Do you live in Boston and are you thinking of whitening your teeth? Then consider getting a treatment at a Boston Britesmile.

Boston BriteSmile is a company that has been around since 1999, and they provide teeth whitening services. They claim to be the pioneers of teeth whitening with their advanced whitening techniques. What exactly is Britesmile and how does it work? Using state-of-the-art technology that is both safe and effective, BriteSmile has brought brighter smiles to thousands of people. Their technology uses a patented light technology that features a specially designed lamp that shines a gentle, blue light on the patient's teeth. The lamp’s unique shape helps illuminate and whiten both the top and bottom teeth at the same time. This efficient light source allows for the use of a lower level of the proprietary ingredient, ensuring that the BriteSmile whitening treatment is pain-free and clinically proven safe for tooth enamel as well as skin, gums and other soft tissues. The cost of a whitening treatment varies and they often have seasonal discounts and promotional offers.

Boston BriteSmile is a professional teeth whitening service that is offered at one of their 'spa' locations or at an approved dentist office. They claim their system has proven to whiten about 9 shades per session. Their teeth whitening techniques uses a ‘Procedural Gel’ as the bleaching provider; this gel contains a 15% hydrogen peroxide base that serves as the bleaching compound. This gel also combines an accelerator, which is placed on prior to the gel application, which results in enhancing the whitening procedure. BriteSmile is a safe procedure as no local anesthetics are used and unlike most teeth whitening procedures, their whitening system will not ruin or harm the enamel protecting the tooth.

Boston Britesmile centers offer whitening treatments that take about 60 minutes in total. Each session is broken down into two applications of the whitening material, and each application takes 20 minutes. The system requires the use of either gas plasma or a LED bleaching light which is be done at the dental office. Light is directed onto the correct position and simultaneously illuminates all the teeth that are to be bleached. Fortunately, the light used with the treatment does not usually cause side effects, such as sensitivity on the newly bleached teeth. Furthermore, BrightSmile’s patented LED technology has the ability to kill noxious bacteria on the tooth.

The procedure for a treatment is as follows: first, the dentist will first examine your teeth and gums for good oral health. While you are relaxing in a comfortable chair, their patented whitening gel is applied to the teeth and then their patented blue light will be positioned over your teeth to activate the gel. For the patient's comfort, a TV and music is provided while the teeth will lighten and the natural whiteness will be restored in about 1 hour. Using a completely safe process of oxidation and the combination of their revolutionary blue wavelength light, a process that used to take many hours to whiten teeth can now be completed in just 1 hour.

The effects of a Britesmile treatment usually last between 2-4 years. Some customers prefer to maintain the whiteness of their teeth and therefore visit their dentist more frequently for touch ups.
