What our Patient Think About Us?
What Is GLO Science In-Office Whitening?
GLO Science is a professional whitening system that brightens teeth evenly while minimizing sensitivity. It combines controlled LED heat with a specialized gel to deliver safe, consistent results during in-office appointments as part of cosmetic dentistry in Burnaby.
Closed-System Whitening (Why It Matters)
GLO’s closed system keeps the gel sealed on the teeth, reducing dehydration and sensitivity. This helps prevent patchy results and supports a controlled whitening process.
No UV Light or Harsh Heat
GLO Science uses gentle LED warmth instead of UV light or aggressive heat. This approach is safer for enamel and gums and helps maintain comfort during whitening.
Up to 12 Shades Whiter in One Visit
Many patients notice visible brightening after a single appointment. Controlled cycles allow fast, even results, ideal before events or special occasions.
How GLO Science Works
(Technology Explained Simply)
GLO Science whitening is designed to be effective without being harsh. The system combines controlled heat, a professional-grade gel, and timed cycles to brighten teeth evenly while keeping comfort a priority.
The LED Heat Mouthpiece
- The GLO mouthpiece uses gentle LED heat to activate the whitening gel efficiently while maintaining comfort, protecting teeth and gums, and minimizing sensitivity.
The Whitening Gel
- A professional-strength, thick gel stays in place on the teeth, reducing leakage and helping achieve even whitening with less irritation.
- Whitening is completed in short, controlled 8-minute cycles. The number of cycles is adjusted based on staining and desired brightness.
Step-by-Step In-Office Whitening Process
Knowing what to expect boosts your confidence. GLO Science whitening follows a clear process focused on safety, comfort, and consistent results.
01
Appointment & Shade Check
We begin by reviewing your whitening goals and recording your current tooth shade. This helps set realistic expectations and track improvement accurately throughout the appointment.
02
Gum & Soft Tissue Protection
Your gums and lips are protected before whitening begins. This step minimizes irritation and keeps the focus on safely and evenly whitening the teeth.
03
Application of GLO Whitening Gel
A professional-strength GLO gel is applied evenly to the teeth. Its thick, stay-put formula helps prevent leakage and supports consistent coverage.
04
LED Heat Activation Cycles
The LED mouthpiece activates the gel in short, controlled cycles. Each cycle is designed to maximize whitening while maintaining comfort.
05
Checking Progress Between Cycles
Between cycles, progress and comfort are assessed. This allows adjustments to be made based on how your teeth respond to treatment.
06
Final Shade Comparison & Aftercare Guidance
Your final shade is recorded and compared to the starting shade. You’ll receive guidance on post-whitening care to help maintain your results.

Key Features of GLO Science In-Office Whitening
GLO Science offers effective teeth whitening that prioritizes comfort and enamel safety. Its advanced technology ensures consistent results.
Designed to Reduce the Likelihood of Sensitivity
The closed-system whitening gel stays sealed against the tooth surface, helping prevent dehydration during treatment. By keeping moisture levels stable, this approach reduces the likelihood of sensitivity both during the appointment and afterward.
No UV Light – Safe for Enamel
GLO Science uses gentle LED warmth rather than UV light or aggressive heat. This controlled activation protects enamel and gums while designed to limit unnecessary heat exposure and avoid risks associated with radiation-based whitening systems.
Even Whitening Without Patchiness
Because the whitening gel remains evenly distributed across the teeth, colour change happens more uniformly. This helps prevent streaks or patchy results and supports a smoother, more natural-looking shade improvement.
Fast Results Ready the Same Day
In-office whitening is completed during a single appointment, allowing patients to see visible brightening right away. This makes it a convenient option when timing matters, such as before events or photos.
Ideal for People with a History of Sensitivity
The controlled activation process and sealed gel make this whitening approach more comfortable for patients who have experienced sensitivity with other whitening methods in the past.
Who Is a Good Candidate for In-Office GLO Whitening?
In-office GLO Science whitening works best for patients looking to brighten natural teeth safely and efficiently. The following points can help you decide if this treatment is right for you.
Stains from Coffee, Tea, Wine, Aging
GLO whitening is effective for common external stains caused by beverages, foods, smoking, and natural aging. These surface stains respond well to professional whitening.
Healthy Enamel & Gums
Ideal candidates have healthy teeth and gums, with no untreated decay or active gum disease. A quick pre-treatment check helps confirm whitening can be done comfortably and safely.
Ideal for Events or Last-Minute Whitening Needs
Because results are visible after one appointment, GLO Science is a popular option before weddings, photos, interviews, or special occasions.
Not Ideal for Crowns, Veneers, or Internal Stains
Whitening does not change the colour of crowns, veneers, or fillings, and it cannot correct internal tooth discoloration. In these cases, other cosmetic options may be more appropriate.
Whitening Results & How Long They Last
With GLO Science, many patients notice visible brightening after treatment. How long your brighter shade lasts depends on daily habits and ongoing oral care, but simple steps can help extend your results.
- Results commonly last 4-6 months, depending on lifestyle and enamel characteristics. Touch-ups may be recommended to maintain brightness over time
Lifestyle Factors That Affect Whitening
- Frequent consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, dark foods, or tobacco can shorten how long whitening results last. Good hygiene habits help slow re-staining.
Maintenance Tips
- To protect your results:
- Avoid staining foods and drinks for 48 hours after your appointment
- Maintain regular professional cleanings.
- Consider an optional GLO take-home kit for periodic upkeep as part of Custom Take-Home Whitening Kits in Burnaby.
