The BriteSmile Whitening System is the most technologically advanced teeth-whitening product available and more dentists are beginning to provide the service. BriteSmile involves a two part system, the BriteSmile Whitening Gel—a low pH proprietary gel that contains glycerin and highly purified water that is designed to prevent teeth from dehydration; and the patented BriteSmile Light—a blue light that works in tandem with the gel.

BriteSmile claims that their product whitens teeth an average of eight shades and can even brighten teeth up to twelve shades after a twenty-minute session. The process is long-lasting and safe on teeth enamel, fillings, and gums. The next best whitening product on the market involves the use of whitening trays, where consumers must wear a whitening gel filled tray for hours at a time; only to experience mediocre results.

With very few complaints, it is evident that BriteSmile is one of, if not the, best teeth-whitening product currently available. But we here at DentistSection.com would like to hear from you! Whether you are a dentist, dental assistant, or have used BriteSmile at some time in the past, please share your experiences with our readers.

Reduce Your Visit to the Dentist with CEREC 3D®

CEREC 3D^® is a combination of dental software and hardware technology that performs tooth restoration on damaged and decaying teeth, all in one visit to the dentist’s office. Developed by Sirona Dental Group the process involves a thorough examination, by a qualified dentist, to determine the appropriate course of action.

If necessary, the decaying tooth and tissue is removed as the dentist normally would do for many similar restorative dental techniques. The dentist will then take an optical impression of the prepared tooth by coating it with a tasteless, non-toxic powder and then digitally photographing it - this step of the CEREC 3D^® process eliminates the traditional goop-filled impression tray.

From there the CEREC 3D^®machine will convert the images into 3-D renderings where the dentist then utilizes their expertise to complete the new tooth’s design. The final design is then sent to the milling machine; where in about 10 - 20 minutes a ceramic restoration tooth, that matches your teeth’s color, is created and ready to bond in place.
