Teeth Whitening by Des Plaines Dentist Dr. Thomas Meyer

Teeth Whitening

If you're looking to take your smile to the next level, teeth whitening is a great cosmetic option with fast results. Whiter teeth help improve self-confidence by making your entire appearance healthier, fresher, and younger.

Teeth whitening can help remove the staining that results from drinking coffee and wine, smoking cigarettes, advancing age, or medications that dim your smile. Some of these effects are inevitable, like aging. Thanks to the expert help of a professional cosmetic dentist like Dr. Meyer, you won't have to go without your favorite beverages to restore the brightness of your smile!

We offer several different levels and types of teeth whitening in our office.  We are proudly using two top of the line in-office whitening systems - Brite Smile and Zoom! Advanced Whitening!

The Brite Smile Teeth Whitening treatment comfortably, effectively and safely brightens your smile an average of 8+ shades in 1 hour. Offering the most advanced technology to whiten teeth and enhance your appearance, Brite Smile uses the combination of a gentle hydrogen-peroxide whitening gel and a plasma-arc blue light.

The dramatic difference of your teeth looking 8 to 10 shades whiter awaits. Our Des Plaines dental team can help schedule your cosmetic consultation or whitening appointment, so you can start smiling today.

How Does Brite Smile Work?

Des Plaines dentist, Dr. Meyer will examine your teeth and gums to insure they are healthy. As you are made comfortable by our friendly team members, our patented whitening gel is applied to your teeth and the Brite Smile light will be positioned over your teeth to activate the gel. As you relax in your chair and watch videos or listen to music, your teeth will lighten and will brighten to natural whiteness in just one hour.

You can feel confident that the Brite Smile procedure will not damage your enamel or fillings. The primary ingredient is hydrogen peroxide, which has been used for many years and is widely and effectively used by the dental industry. In fact the hydrogen peroxide that is used in Brite Smile is much lower than other whitening gels that are often used.

Almost anyone wanting to whiten their teeth can benefit from using Brite Smile. Stains caused from food, coffee, tobacco etc. can be virtually eliminated and you can smile with confidence knowing that you are looking your absolute best!

More Options

If you prefer the convenience of an at-home treatment, custom mouth trays can be made by Dr. Meyer.

Why should you use custom trays? They are specifically formed for your teeth, so they ensure the maximum contact of the whitening gel to your tooth surface while minimizing contact with your gums or other soft tissues. Because the peroxide used in at-home kits is of a lower potency, you will need to use these trays for an hour a day for two weeks to have desirable results. Usually, you will see your teeth whiten about 5 or 6 shades lighter with this method, depending on the staining.
