Is Professional Teeth Whitening Worth It? Exploring the Science Behind Brightside’s Whitening Process

Let’s face it: a dazzling smile can open doors, boost confidence, and generally make life brighter. But with teeth whitening kits all over the market, how does professional teeth whitening stack up?

In this article, we’ll walk through the ins and outs of the professional-grade whitening system used at Brightside Dental Singapore, and you get to decide if it’s worth the investment.

The Secret to Brightside’s Effective Whitening

Hydrogen peroxide is the primary whitening agent used in professional grade products utilised by dentists. This is crucial as this chemical compound can effectively break down stains on teeth by penetrating the enamel and oxidising pigments that cause discolouration. In Singapore, the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is regulated. Only licensed dentists are allowed by law to use a higher concentration than non-professional establishments or over-the-counter products, which means results are often more effective and, most importantly, safer for you.

But here’s the catch: handling such chemicals requires extra care and expertise. Maintaining the right temperature to preserve the quality of the peroxide is critical, as degraded hydrogen peroxide won’t be as effective. That’s why Brightside uses InnoWhite’s proprietary cold-chain system—Coldthru. This protocol keeps the peroxide stable during shipping, controlling its temperature to prevent it from breaking down. It’s science in action, ensuring the gel is as effective on day 30 as it was on day 1.

Did you know? Studies show that hydrogen peroxide’s stability significantly impacts teeth whitening outcomes. Professional systems handled by our experienced dentists address these factors for consistently safe and bright results.

Brightside’s Patient-centric Whitening Approach

Teeth whitening, while popular, is not suitable for everyone. Here at Brightside, we ensure that you’re a good candidate for whitening before proceeding with the treatment. We’ll check for issues like tooth decay, gum disease, or enamel issues and address them first so your whitening session is safe and effective.

And because teeth whitening isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution since no two sets of teeth are the same, we tailor the treatment to suit your needs. This individualised care guarantees not only your satisfaction (think maximum effect), but also your safety.

What Makes In-clinic Treatments More Effective Than Take-home Kits

Beyond science and precision, Brightside has thought about your comfort, too. Unlike most do-it-at-home whitening kits, which can lead to increased sensitivity, Brightside’s formula which include desensitising agents to minimise discomfort.

Brightside’s lovely clinic was designed with the warm atmosphere of a spa in mind.

Brightside’s flexible treatment options give you control over the whitening process. This means that our dentists can adjust the concentration based on your needs, ensuring safe and personalised care every step of the way.

The Long-Lasting Difference of Professional Whitening

At the end of the day, teeth whitening is an investment in yourself. Because professional skill, science and expertise is needed to deliver lasting results, always seek real dentists for real whitening procedures.
