Teeth Whitening Santa Rosa California Dentistry

​How it works
Your dentist will apply a specialized hydrogen peroxide gel to your teeth. The GLO™ mouthpiece then gently warms and lights the gel, activating it and lifting stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, or everyday wear. Each in-office treatment is completed in a series of 8-minute cycles, and patients typically notice visible improvements after just one session.​​​​​​​​

What makes it different​

• Dramatic Results: Many patients see their smiles brighten by up to 5–8 shades after a single in-office visit

• Low Sensitivity: GLO™ is specifically designed to minimize tooth and gum sensitivity, a common issue with older whitening methods.

• Fast & Convenient: With results in less than an hour, you can achieve a whiter smile on your lunch break

• Flexible Options: Choose in-office whitening for immediate results, or maintain your smile at home with a GLO™ take-home kit.

Recovery time
One of the best parts about GLO™ whitening is that there’s virtually no downtime. You can eat, drink, and go about your day as normal immediately after treatment. Some patients may experience mild temporary sensitivity, but this typically fades within 24 hours.

 

Frequently Asked Questions                                         

1. How long do results last?                                                                           With proper care, GLO™ whitening results can last up to a year. Regular dental cleanings, good oral hygiene, and occasional touch-ups with a GLO™ take-home kit can extend your results even longer.                                                                       

2. Is GLO™ safe for my teeth and gums?​                                                Yes. The system is enamel-safe, dentist-supervised, and designed to reduce irritation and sensitivity.                                                                                                

3. Will I feel any pain during treatment?                                                Most patients feel only a gentle warming sensation from the mouthpiece. Any sensitivity is typically mild and short-lived.                                                                                 

4. Can I eat or drink after my appointment?                                            Yes! There’s no recovery period, so you can resume your normal diet immediately. For best results, we recommend avoiding deeply pigmented foods and drinks (like coffee or red wine) for the first 24 hours.                                                                                   

5. Is GLO™ better than at-home whitening strips?                              Yes. Because GLO™ uses professional-strength gel and heat-light technology, it delivers faster, longer-lasting results without the mess or sensitivity that many people experience with store-bought kits.
