In-Office GLO Whitening
Dr. Deshpande uses the patented GLO mouthpiece — combining warming heat and guided light — to whiten all teeth at once across several short cycles during a single appointment.
Exam Before Every Treatment
Every whitening visit begins with a thorough dental exam to confirm your teeth and gums are healthy and ready for the best possible result.
Take-Home Maintenance Kit
After your in-office treatment, you'll leave with a custom touch-up kit so you can maintain your results on your own schedule.
Quick Facts
Essential information about this procedure
“Whitening works best when it starts with a healthy foundation — that's why we never skip the exam.”
Why Professional Whitening Works Differently
Over-the-counter strips and trays can lighten teeth modestly over several weeks, but they're designed for the average mouth — not yours. The concentration of whitening agent is limited, coverage is uneven, and there's no dental evaluation to make sure your teeth and gums are in the right condition to respond well.
Professional GLO whitening at Brilliant Smiles works differently. Dr. Deshpande starts with a thorough exam, because whitening works best on healthy teeth — and skipping that step is one of the most common reasons people end up disappointed with their results or experience unnecessary sensitivity.
The GLO system applies a professional-strength whitening gel to all your teeth and activates it with the patented GLO mouthpiece, which combines warming heat and guided light for faster, more even results. That professional approach is why the results are so noticeable — visibly brighter in a single visit — compared to weeks of at-home effort with drugstore products.
Your appointment also includes a complimentary at-home care kit — your GLO mouthpiece, a shades guide, and professional whitening vials — so you can refresh your results whenever you need to, without scheduling another full in-office session. It's the kind of personalized, comfortable dental care that makes a real difference in how you feel about your smile.

Is professional teeth whitening safe, or could it damage my teeth or gums?
Professional whitening performed by Dr. Deshpande is safe for healthy teeth and gums when done as directed. GLO professional whitening, which we offer at Brilliant Smiles, is designed to minimize gum irritation while delivering effective results. Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity after treatment, which typically resolves within a day or two — Dr. Deshpande will assess your teeth beforehand to make sure whitening is a good fit for you.
How much whiter will my teeth actually get, and how long does it last?
GLO professional whitening can leave your teeth noticeably brighter after a single in-office visit of about an hour — results that would take weeks to achieve with at-home strips. How long your results last depends on your diet and habits, but most patients enjoy a noticeably whiter smile for one to three years with good oral hygiene and occasional touch-ups. Dr. Deshpande will give you realistic expectations based on the starting shade of your teeth.
Does insurance cover teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure and is generally not covered by dental insurance. However, the cost of professional whitening at Brilliant Smiles is an affordable investment compared to the dramatic improvement in the brightness of your smile, and we offer flexible payment options to help fit it into your budget. We believe professional results are worth it — and at a fraction of the cost of more extensive cosmetic work.
Why choose professional whitening over whitening toothpaste or store-bought strips?
Over-the-counter whitening products contain much lower concentrations of whitening agents than professional treatments, which limits how dramatically — and how quickly — they can whiten your teeth. GLO professional whitening uses a professionally supervised process that combines guided light and gentle warming heat to deliver reliably consistent results in a single visit that simply can't be matched by at-home products. You'll also have the reassurance of Dr. Deshpande evaluating your tooth and gum health first, so you're not whitening over an undetected problem.
I have some crowns and veneers — will whitening work on those too?
Whitening agents work only on natural tooth enamel and will not change the color of crowns, veneers, bonding, or other dental restorations. This is an important consideration to discuss before treatment, because whitening your natural teeth could create a noticeable color mismatch with any existing restorations. Dr. Deshpande will review your dental history and talk through your options during a consultation so you get results that look seamlessly natural.
A whiter smile means something different to every patient — my job is to make sure the treatment we choose is right for your teeth, your health, and the result you're actually hoping for.
Dr. Sonal Deshpande, DMD
General & Cosmetic Dentist · Brilliant Smiles of North Plainfield
Dr. Deshpande's approach to cosmetic care starts with a thorough exam — not because it slows things down, but because it's the step that makes results last.
