Essentially two rival systems exist for whitening teeth.

Deep BleachingTM Developed by Californian dentist Dr Rod Kurthy DMD
Dr Kurthy was recently voted by over 60,000 dentists around the globe to be the most influential dentist in the world. With his good friend Al Bevilacqua, Rod has developed arguably the most effective method for whitening known as "Deep BleachingTM" The Chrysalis was one of the first dental centres outside of the United States to adopt this technique, bringing it to the UK public. The process is designed to facilitate the most effective and efficient whitening of natural teeth with minimal sensitivity and maximum longevity of the results. This technique does involve a couple of visits with your dentist and some at home procedures but the results are agreed by the dental community to be superior to any other whitening / bleaching system. Top-ups are easy with this system and relatively cheap. Combined with regular visits to your dentist and hygienist the results then are easily maintainable. For these reasons Deep Bleaching is Dr Ahlowalia's recommended method for long term teeth whitening.

Zoom WhiteningTM First promoted by Dr Ahlowalia's American 'Extreme Makeover' counterpart Dr Bill Dorfman DDS
The Zoom WhiteningTM system was for many years the most popular Power Light activated in surgery whitening system in the world, the Zoom whiteningTM system has been used by over 20,000 dentists worldwide. Arguably the fastest whitening system available, the Zoom WhiteningTM system requires just one surgery visit of up to two hours duration. There is often sensitivity associated with the process, in most cases it is not long lasting however clients should be aware this is an unpredictable complication of the process and may lead to the death of individual teeth which may then require additional treatment. As with all Power Light or Laser whitening systems the results achieved with the Zoom WhiteningTM system are variable dependent on the natural permeabilty of individual teeth and the starting colour. As with any Power Light or Laser whitening systems the results achieved with the Zoom WhiteningTM system gradually fade over time and may require periodic re-treatment.
