Why GLO Science Whitening?
GLO Science teeth whitening differs from traditional teeth whitening methods in that it is conducted at home and incorporates LED light energy acceleration, which is typically reserved for in-office procedures. By combining the bleaching gel with a small, handheld illuminator, patients can achieve the same incredible results from the comfort of their home rather than making trips to the dental office.
In addition, GLO Science formula is proven safe and effective for even the most sensitive smiles. The method causes no damage to the enamel as it penetrates the tooth surface and vaporizes stains and discoloration at rapid rates.
How Does It Work?
The GLO Science whitening system works by utilizing the science of heat energy combined with a safe bleaching solution.
- Patients will simply brush our hydrogen peroxide based gel onto the surfaces of their teeth to begin the process.
- Once this is complete, the LED light device is inserted into the mouth and placed over the teeth for eight minutes.
- This can be repeated over the next five days to see teeth lift up to five shades lighter!
What’s more, this treatment is offered in-home rather than in-office! Patients will simply visit us to pick up their gel and LED device and receive instructions regarding the use of the device. From there, your smile brightening journey is in your hands!

Frequently Asked Questions
GLO (Guided Light Optics) uses a combination of gentle warming heat and blue LED light to accelerate the whitening gel. This process delivers faster, brighter results with significantly less tooth sensitivity than traditional whitening methods.
Most patients see an improvement of 5 to 8 shades in a single session. Your individual results will depend on the starting shade of your teeth and the type of staining present.
GLO was specifically designed to minimize sensitivity. The whitening gel is formulated to stay on your teeth rather than migrate to your gums, and the controlled heat helps prevent the dehydration that can cause brief sensitivity, often referred to as “zingers.”
Results typically last 6 months to a year. To maintain your bright smile, we recommend avoiding dark-colored foods and beverages (such as coffee or red wine) and using the GLO at-home touch-up kit.
Whitening treatments only work on natural tooth enamel. If you have crowns, fillings, or veneers, they will not change color, although the treatment can help remove surface stains from them.
