Their eyes locked across a crowded room, he had been watching her all evening. Could she be the woman of his dreams? She had been watching him, too. She saw her chance, flashed her dazzling smile and instantly stole his heart. Thank God she had just whitened her teeth!
Nothing says confident and beautiful like a great smile so I have checked out two options for achieving those beautiful pearly whites no movie star would be without. My chief tester stepped up to the mark and took a seat in the BriteSmile treatment chair.
BriteSmile is one of the most effective professional teeth-whitening systems available in New Zealand. Developed by a former NASA scientist, BriteSmile Professional Teeth Whitening is a one-hour treatment that uses a combination of whitening gel and blue laser light shone directly on the gel-covered teeth.
The chemistry of gel and light creates a whitening effect to remove stubborn tooth stains built up over time from coffee, tea, red wine, cola and cigarettes. BriteSmile has been clinically proven to safely whiten your teeth by as much as 15 shades and with proper care, the results can last for up to three years.
As with all whitening treatments, BriteSmile will not whiten false teeth, crowns or caps. our tester had great results with this treatment, which whitened his teeth by nine shades in one extended lunch break – a very exciting result for a recently reformed smoker. He did experience some tooth and gum sensitivity for a few hours after the treatment – but this varies from person to person.
At a cost of about $1100, BriteSmile is admittedly not cheap but it is worth every cent. For your nearest BriteSmile treatment centre, check out www.britesmile.co.nz or call toll-free 0508 802 557.
Another great treatment is the new oacleans Brilliant White Dental Whitening Strips, which allow you to achieve some pretty impressive results at home. The Whitening Strip system will whiten you teeth by up to five shades in 14 days.
The thin, mouldable strips are coated witha whitening ingredient and need to be worn for 30 minutes twicea day for 14 days to obtain the best results. The whitening ingredient in the gel releases active oxygen, which bleaches the stains below the surface of your teeth.
Depending on your eating, drinking and smoking habits post-treatment, oacleans Dental Whitening Strips will give you whiter teeth for up to six months. These strips definitely work and they’re easy to use. The strips won’t get your teeth as white as a professional treatment, be as quick or last as long but at around $45 a box (one complete treatment), they are a great alternative. Available in supermarkets nationwide.
