We have achieved up to 16 shades whiter with a couple treatments, however the average is about 4-6 shades whiter with the first treatment. Just like dying your hair it may take a couple treatments to get to your desired shade.

Cosmetic Teeth Whitening works better on your natural teeth. Porcelain will not get whiter with treatment.

What can stain my teeth?
Food and drinks can greatly influence the color of your teeth. There are foods and beverages that make your teeth darker. The worst offenders being red wine, cigarettes, soft drinks, citrus, coffee & tea, curries, soy sauce and berries. (It is recommended to avoid the above staining agents for the first 3 hours after treatment to maximize whitening results).
Which teeth shades are easier to whiten?
In general if your teeth are yellow, it will be easier to make them more white. Gray teeth are much harder to whiten due to the stain being more intrinsic. Your teeth can only be whitened to their genetic natural whiteness.
Is the LED light safe? Can it cause any harm?
Our LED light cosmetic teeth whitening is 100% safe and produces better and faster results compared to other whitening methods. Our products have been tested and have shown to cause no harm to enamel or gums. Brite Bar™ recommends that if a client is experiencing pain or discomfort during thewhitening process, they should discontinue the treatment immediately and consult their dentist as soon as possible as this may indicate an undiscovered or unknown problem that might be occurring in their mouths. In rare occasions with improper biting and pushing saliva forward to the front of the mouth during treatment can cause a temporary irritation. *Do not use aquaphor or other SPF lip balms during treatment as this can cause a reaction with sunlight / LED light which can cause temporary swelling of the lips.
Can I get a same-day appointment?
