Teeth Whitening Theory
Everyone’s teeth have a natural biological limit of how white they can get. Historically, once you reached this limit, no amount of additional bleaching would whiten your teeth. However, this Deep Bleaching system will extend this previous limit and allow significantly more whitening.
The special Deep Bleaching Technique of custom-made tray fabrication is one of the reasons this style of bleaching works so well. The Deep Bleaching trays allow room for excess bleaching gel, and they seal it at the gum line. Unlike Deep Bleaching trays, most trays fabricated in the dental office do not seal the bleach at the gum line to keep the bleach in place. The bleach is sucked and washed out of the trays by the saliva very quickly, and very little depth of bleaching occurs. The amount of whitening and the technique we will recommend for your individual needs depends on several factors including: how light you would like to get, what color the teeth are when we start, and what your oral habits are (ex. Do you smoke, drink lots of red wine, tea, coffee, etc.) These habits do not make it impossible to whiten at all, there just might be a little more maintenance. Call us to discuss the options that will best get you the results you are looking for.

Zoom! And GLO Teeth Whitening Solutions
All teeth whitening systems are not created equal. While over-the-counter kits can be somewhat effective, professional whitening administered by a dentist is more potent. All dentists can use the strong, prescription-strength systems, but results are dependent upon the dentist’s technique.
Our doctors use a technique that yields amazing results. A one-visit whitening technique cannot optimally whiten teeth. You may have seen the Zoom! system on television makeover shows. Zoom! Whitening has been shown to be most effective when combined with home (tray) bleaching.
GLO Whitening provides a state-of-the-art tooth whitening service, using advanced technology to deliver quick, effective results. The process is gentle, minimizing sensitivity for a brighter smile.
The Deep Bleaching® technique designed by Dr. Rod Kurthy combines several methods of teeth whitening and is regarded as the most effective system. Patients who previously could not achieve the bright smile they desired (because of ‘whitening resistant teeth’) can now achieve significantly whiter results.
