Teeth Whitening
The BriteSmile teeth-whitening procedure has been available in South Africa since March 2003 and it is growing at an amazing rate, with more and more dentists becoming associated with BriteSmile every month. The procedure has been introduced in more than 80 countries since 1999 and in early 2004 over a million treatments has already been performed worldwide.
These figures reflect the good results of the procedure - over 98% of BriteSmile patients are satisfied with the treatment. In just a little over an hour, your teeth are whitened by more than 9 shades (on average 9.3), which makes it economical for tourists to have the treatment while visiting South Africa

Whiter teeth, in about one hour. It's that simple. Years of yellowing as well as harsh staining from coffee, cigarettes, and red wine are almost magically erased in the time it takes to get a haircut, a manicure or lunch. In fact, we have clinical studies which prove that the BriteSmile whitening treatment resulted in an average improvement of 9+ shades whiter!
BriteSmile offers clients safety and science within the comforts of your dentist's office. First you'll have a complimentary consultation to answer all your questions. If you are interested in moving forward with the treatment, our dentists will then examine your teeth and gums to ensure that they're healthy for whitening at that time. Then, while you relax, watch TV, or even nap, our proprietary gel and blue light treatment work to whiten teeth to their optimal brightness.
