Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to achieve an InStyle Smile.  In some cases you can whiten you teeth several shades lighter in a very short period of time.  And don’t worry if you have sensitive teeth, InStyle Smiles can help!

A Revolutionary Teeth Whitening System

Dr. Greg Carroll uses a new breakthrough procedure in teeth whitening called Sapphire Teeth Whitening.

This new treatment is proven to whiten smiles up to seven shades lighter. Many people who have tried teeth-whitening in the past were discouraged because their sensitive teeth couldn’t handle the procedure. Sapphire has formulated their bleaching gel to minimize tooth sensitivity.

Dramatic Results in No Time

If you want to improve your smile in as little time as possible, Dr. Carroll can make that happen. You can begin to see the results of your Sapphire teeth-whitening in as little as an hour in Dr. Carroll’s office. We will even send you home with your own teeth-whitening kit so that you can continue to whiten your teeth at home or while you travel.

Benefits of Sapphire Whitening System

The Sapphire Whitening system is made by Den-Mat – they are the same makers as Lumineers. The system used to be called the Rembrandt Sapphire In-Office Whitening System, but was renamed when Den-Mat sold the Rembrandt line to Oral-B. This system uses a very powerful Sapphire Plasma Arc Light along with a professional grade teeth whitening gel.

There are over 4,000 dentists currently using the Sapphire Whitening System today. Approximately 250,000 patients have undergone this whitening treatment. The whitening system can be used with the Sapphire light or without it.

How does the combination of the gel and the Sapphire light work?

The 35% H2O2 gel is first applied to your teeth.  The sapphire light activates the gel and propels the stain removal process.

How long does the Sapphire Whitening procedure take?

The teeth whitening procedure takes about 30 minutes to complete. It is one of the fastest “In-Office” teeth whitening procedures available today.

Is there a Sapphire take-home kit or one I can travel with?

Absolutely.  Sapphire gives an at-home kit that has custom fitted trays. Depending on the condition of your teeth, the at-home kit may take from a few days to a few months to give your teeth brightness desired.

How safe is the Sapphire Whitening System?

The bleaching gel is thick and stays stable at the ‘teeth areas’ of the trays.   it does not drip over to your gums. While Den-Mat claims there is a desensitizing agent to reduce tooth sensitivity, many dentists have found that some patients have experienced severe post sensitivity after whitening (up to 12-18 hours). Ibuprophen or Naproxen will help if there is any post-sensitivity.
