New York City, Manhattan, Queens

BriteSmile in New York City

We are one of the first offices in New York City to offer the new BriteSmile 3000 state-of-the-art technology to whiten teeth and enormously enhance personal appearance and esthetics. Our new system delivers truly amazing results, whitening teeth an average of nine shades in just over an hour. There are over one hundred and thirty BriteSmile Bleaching Centers in the United States which have successfully treated thousands of patients.

How does it work?

BriteSmile Laser tooth WhiteningTooth Whitening with BriteSmileOur system, which uses gas plasma light technology, plus a new proprietary bleaching gel, has created a revolutionary method of teeth whitening which quickly, safely, and effectively whitens all teeth at once. The primary ingredient in BrightSmile’s gel is hydrogen peroxide, which is recognized as an effective ingredient by the dental community. Even so, the percentage of hydrogen peroxide in BriteSmile’s proprietary gel is only 15%, far lower than most other whitening products which may contain as much as 35%-50% hydrogen peroxide. Our innovative light system activates the hydrogen peroxide in the gel and speeds up the whitening procedure, so you leave in just over an hour with your teeth at their optimal whiteness. Most other procedures only offer as few as 3 - 5 shades of change. Please keep in mind that you may have the BriteSmile procedure performed in our office and continue to see your current dentist. We will be happy to supply “before and after” photographs and any other details your dentist feels would be appropriate.

Is It Safe?

Results of BriteSmile Tooth Whitening SystemYes. Unlike the "do-it-yourself" take-home bleaching trays, our dentists oversee every aspect of your BriteSmile procedure. Before you can even move forward with your procedure, our dentists do a thorough examination to ensure both teeth and surrounding tissue are acceptable. Your BriteSmile procedure will not soften enamel or damage existing fillings. Independent safety studies conducted at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and reviewed by researchers at New York University found conclusively that the BriteSmile procedure results in no structural changes in teeth.

Will It Hurt?

The BriteSmile teeth whitening process is normally painless. A very small percentage of people may experience a minor, dull "ache" following the procedure. Taking an ibuprofen or Tylenol almost always resolves the feeling. It is best to avoid very hot or very cold drinks for the first 24 hours if there is any tooth sensitivity. 

Is This Procedure for Everyone? 

Virtually everyone wanting to brighten his or her teeth can benefit from using BriteSmile, including people with severe food and tobacco or tetracycline stains. However, extremely dark teeth that may need changes of 20+ shades would require more than one treatment.
