What is teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening at Back of the Wasatch Family and Cosmetic Dentistry uses GLO technology and in-office or take-home whitening kits to make your teeth up to 12 shades whiter in less than an hour, without any sensitivity. Dr. Lobrot is a certified GLO whitening provider and has many years of experience in whitening teeth.

How does teeth whitening work?

GLO teeth whitening works by using heat and light technology combined with 10% hydrogen peroxide whitening gel, which you can use from the comfort of home if you’d like. Light activates the gel and speeds up teeth whitening without pain or sensitivity.

Why are my teeth stained?

A variety of foods, drinks, and lifestyle habits can cause teeth to stain, such as:

• Coffee
• Tea
• Cola
• Red wine
• Dark juices
• Popsicles
• Tomato sauce
• Soy sauce
• Poor oral hygiene
• Smoking
• Some medications
• Certain medical conditions

Even with exceptional oral hygiene habits, teeth staining can still occur. Fortunately, teeth whitening at Back of the Wasatch Family and Cosmetic Dentistry is fast, simple, and highly effective. 

Is teeth whitening right for me? 

Anyone who has stained teeth is usually a good candidate for teeth whitening. The type of whitening that’s right for you depends on your lifestyle, oral health, and preferences. You can choose from in-office or at-home treatments.

If you have tooth decay, tooth damage, or gum disease, your dentist first treats these common oral health problems. 

What should I expect during teeth whitening?

During teeth whitening at Back of the Wasatch Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, you relax in a comfortable, reclining dental chair. Your provider applies GLO whitening gel to your teeth and uses a special LED light to activate the gel and speed up whitening in less than an hour. You notice immediate results.

If you prefer, you can choose a GLO at-home whitening kit to whiten teeth yourself from the comfort of home at your convenience.

How can I keep my teeth white?

Keeping your teeth white is as simple as brushing after meals, flossing daily, limiting foods and drinks that stain, and not smoking. See the dental experts at Back of the Wasatch Family and Cosmetic Dentistry for professional dental cleanings every six months and as needed for teeth whitening treatments.
