Gloscience Pro - Clinical Whitening FAQ

Q: What type of mouthpiece is used now?

A: We use a single-patient, single-use mouthpiece. Autoclavable mouthpieces are discontinued. Each patient requires a fresh mouthpiece, which is discarded after the procedure.

Q: How many shades lighter can patients expect?

A: Most patients achieve 5–8 shades lighter after 2–3 eight-minute passes, depending on starting shade.

Q: What if a patient experiences sensitivity?

A: Our gel includes potassium nitrate to minimize sensitivity. If mild sensitivity occurs, clinicians may apply a fluoride varnish for relief. Patients should avoid very hot or cold drinks temporarily.

Q: Which gel strength should be used?

A: 30% hydrogen peroxide is recommended for resistant stains (coffee, wine, tobacco).

Q: What is the difference between in-office and take-home treatments?

A: In-office treatments use 24–30% HP gel for immediate results in under 30 minutes. Take-home kits use 10% HP gel for 4 days to maintain and extend results.

Q: How do I set up the operatory for whitening?

A: Prepare shade guide, retractors, suction, gingival barrier, and whitening syringes. Use a fresh single-patient mouthpiece for each case. No sterilization is required.

Q: How long do results last?

A: Results typically last months, especially when maintained with at-home touch-up kits and post-whitening enamel serum.

Q: Is GLO whitening safe for enamel?

A: Yes. GLO whitening meets ISO medical device standards. Clinical trials confirm its safety for enamel and soft tissues.
