GLO professional teeth whitening

It’s time for your GLO Up!

Experience an instantly brighter smile after your braces are removed, or during your Invisalign® treatment, with GLO® Science teeth whitening.

You can choose GLO professional teeth whitening at-home, or in-office treatment with Dr. Matsumoto!

Gentle, yet highly-effective.

GLO dental whitening uses a sensitivity-free, gentle solution made with hydrogen peroxide, a powerful yet safe ingredient that effectively removes stains and brightens your smile without causing discomfort.

With GLO Science teeth whitening, we can whiten your teeth up to 12 shades brighter with just two back-to-back sessions of 8 minutes each.

Our professional teeth whitening system is tailored specifically to your smile, and designed to deliver noticeable results in the shortest amount of time.

How does GLO professional in-office whitening work?

The in-office whitening treatment is performed in two separate 8-minute sessions. (Dr. Matsumoto may recommend up to four sessions depending on your specific smile needs and history.)

Clean slate: First, we’ll use a special brush to gently clean and prepare your teeth for the GLO gel.
Smile prep: Then Dr. Matsumoto will apply a gingival barrier to prevent gum irritation and a GLO lip balm to your lips to keep them from drying out during your whitening treatment sessions.
Begin your GLO-up: Next, we apply the specially-designed hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel to your teeth and pop in the GLO whitening mouthpiece. This patented mouthpiece will activate the gel using a warming heat and light to penetrate through the enamel, instead of bleaching only the outer surfaces of the teeth.
Round 2! After 8 minutes, we’ll remove the mouthpiece, wipe the gel from your teeth, and then continue with another session.

GLO brighter & smile bigger. Once you’re finished with your in-office treatment, Dr. Matsumoto may recommend following up with a GLO take-home whitening kit.

How your GLO Take-home whitening kit works

To make sure you achieve your ideal shade of white, Dr. Matsumoto will send you home with a GLO whitening kit for the next 5 days. Whiten your teeth while you hang out on the couch!

To whiten your teeth at-home, you’ll use the GLO Pro vial from the kit to gently brush the gel onto your teeth and insert your GLO mouthpiece. Your GLO controller will alert you when it’s time to remove the mouthpiece and there’s no need for rinsing or wiping as the gel evaporates as it whitens. You may do 2 sessions for a 5-day period, or four sessions, depending on your instructions from Dr. Matsumoto.

We’ll explain everything you need to know during your appointment!

When’s the best time to whiten my teeth?

For our braces patients, it’s best to wait until your treatment with self-ligating braces is complete before whitening your teeth as you may end up with a two-toned smile when your braces are removed.

If you notice white spots or discolored areas after your time in braces ends, these can be reversed with a simple GLO Whitening treatment, at-home or in-office with Dr. Matsumoto! If you don’t have discoloration after treatment, you can still whiten your teeth to maximize your results.

For our patients who have chosen Invisalign® clear aligners, you can whiten your teeth during your treatment! Invisalign is completely removable, so you don’t have to worry about any unreachable spots behind brackets. You’ll simply remove your aligners during your whitening treatment, then place them back in your mouth once you’re done.

GLO teeth whitening gel can be used during Invisalign treatment to maintain a bright smile, or applied after Invisalign treatment to enhance your results.

What causes teeth yellowing / discoloration?

Everyday life can leave its mark on your smile — and that’s completely normal! Teeth discoloration happens for all kinds of reasons, from sipping coffee, tea, or red wine to enjoying richly colored foods. Smoking, certain medications, and the natural aging process can also cause your smile to lose its luster over time.

These stains can settle deep below the surface, making them tough to tackle with regular brushing. That’s where professional teeth whitening comes in to restore your smile’s brilliance!
