Power
Whitening
One of the most popular elective dental procedures is tooth
whitening. We offer a 'power whitening' service which uses a
special whitening gel, activated by a laser-like concentrated
light. In less than an hour your teeth will look several
shades whiter than with traditional bleaching.
Over the course of the next few days, the whitening gel will
continue to gently oxidize your teeth to reduce stains deeper
in the tooth enamel, such as those from coffee or tobacco.

procedure is in making your smile brighter!
Sapphire Light Whitening
The
Rembrandt ® teeth whitening system employs a hydrogen peroxide
based bleaching gel named Rembrandt ® Whitening Plus ™. This
whitener comes prepackaged as two individual components that
the dentist mixes at the time of application so to create a
bleaching gel that has a 35% hydrogen peroxide concentration
and a pH between 7 and 8. The company states that they include
a desensitizing agent in their whitener's formulation so to
help to minimize the potential for bleaching related
sensitivity.
The Rembrandt ® teeth whitening system protocol includes the
use of a plasma arc light (named the Rembrandt ® Sapphire ™).
This bleaching light can be fitted with the Rembrandt ®
Whitening Crystal ™ so as to allow the dentist to
simultaneously treat both the patient's upper and lower teeth.
The wavelength of the light emitted from this unit is in the
range of 400 to 525nm (meaning that the light has a blue-green
coloration). The implication associated with the use of a
bleaching light is that the company believes that light of
this specific wavelength activates some aspect of the
Rembrandt ® tooth whitener so to enhance its whitening effect.
