Laser teeth whitening in Bright Dental
About the clinic
Laser teeth whitening at Bright Dental in Des Plaines, Illinois, uses professional Zoom technology to brighten smiles by several shades in a single visit. The clinic holds a 4.9 rating from 700+ patients and is recognized as a MetLife Top-Performing Provider. Care is led by Dr. Furrukh Ashraf, DMD, who has advanced training in cosmetic dentistry and facial aesthetics.
The Zoom Whitening Method
The clinic uses the Zoom whitening system for fast and visible results. This process involves applying a professional-grade hydrogen peroxide gel to the teeth. An LED light then activates the gel to lift deep stains. The entire session typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes. Patients often see their teeth become several shades lighter by the time they leave the office.
Before the procedure begins, Dr. Furrukh Ashraf performs a dental exam. This step checks for healthy gums and teeth to prevent discomfort. If you prefer at-home care, the clinic offers custom whitening trays. These trays are created using a Medit i900 intraoral scanner. This digital tool makes precise impressions without the need for messy molds.
Safety and Aftercare
Professional whitening is a safe way to improve your smile under the supervision of Dr. Furrukh Ashraf. However, the procedure is not recommended for everyone. People with untreated cavities, gum disease, or severe tooth sensitivity should avoid the treatment. It is also not suitable for patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under 18 years old.
To maintain your new smile, you should follow specific steps after the appointment:
- Avoid dark foods and drinks like coffee or red wine for 48 hours.
- Keep up with daily brushing and flossing.
- Consider touch-up treatments every 12 to 18 months.
- Use custom take-home trays for long-term maintenance.
The results can last from several months to a few years. Your daily habits and diet will affect how long your teeth stay bright. If you want to brighten your smile, you can leave a request on Bookimed to learn more about the process.

How are we doing?
Bright Dental: more details about the clinic
Bright Dental is a private family dental clinic in Des Plaines, Illinois. The practice provides oral healthcare for patients of all ages. The team combines comfort-first care with digital dentistry workflows.
Accreditations and Recognition
Bright Dental is recognized as a MetLife Top-Performing Provider for 2025–2026. The award specifically names Dr. Furrukh Ashraf for quality and performance.
The clinic has treated over 8,400 patients. It maintains high feedback scores across major digital platforms. The medical team brings around 25 years of combined experience.
Dental Implant and Restorative Surgery
The clinic provides several surgical and restorative options for missing teeth:
- Single-tooth dental implants with custom crown restorations
- All-on-4 full-arch restorations to replace an entire row of teeth
- Implant-supported bridges anchored by two implants at each end
- Bone grafting procedures to prepare the jaw for successful placement
- Flap surgery for pocket reduction in advanced gum disease cases
Surgeons use computer-guided technology for minimally invasive implant placement. This helps clinicians treat complex "last resort" scenarios. Patients typically return to normal activity within 24–48 hours after surgery.
Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry
Bright Dental manages tooth alignment for both children and adults. Specialists offer traditional metal braces for complex alignment needs. Adult patients often choose Invisalign clear aligners for nearly invisible treatment.
The clinic produces aligner models and custom retainers using in-office technology. This cuts wait times for patients starting treatment. Pediatric services include routine preventive care and early orthodontic checkups.
Periodontal Care and Cosmetic Services
For gum disease, the clinic offers Laser-Assisted Gum Therapy. This non-surgical option treats periodontitis. The laser targets infection while helping gum tissue reattach to the teeth.
The practice also provides various aesthetic treatments:
- Professional in-office teeth whitening performed in one session
- Take-home whitening kits for gradual brightening
- Porcelain veneers and cosmetic smile makeovers
- Tooth recontouring and cosmetic bonding
Deep cleaning via scaling and root planing is performed under local anesthesia. This keeps patients comfortable during removal of plaque below the gumline.
Advanced Diagnostic Technology
Bright Dental uses a Medit i900 Intraoral Scanner for all digital impressions. This device creates high-resolution 3D maps of the mouth. It replaces traditional putty molds for crowns, bridges, and aligners.
The facility operates in-office 3D printing technology. This system produces surgical guides and dentures on-site for better fit accuracy. Chairside monitors display 3D scans and X-rays so patients can understand their treatment plans. The clinic manages all patient data through Dentrix Ascend cloud-based digital records.
Services for International Patients
The clinic treats international patients and supports Spanish-speaking visitors. Staff members provide a full "Se Habla Español" experience. Support is available for both routine visits and complex surgical consultations.
