Laser teeth whitening

Laser teeth whitening, or laser-assisted teeth whitening, is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to lighten the color of your teeth and reduce discoloration or stains. It is an in-office, professional teeth whitening option.

Process:

Preparation: Before the procedure, a dentist will examine your teeth to ensure they are suitable for teeth whitening. Dental cleanings may be recommended to remove any plaque or tartar.

Isolation: Your dentist will place a protective barrier on your gums to shield them from the whitening agent and the laser.

Application of Whitening Gel: A bleaching gel, usually containing a higher concentration of hydrogen peroxide than over-the-counter products, is applied to the surface of your teeth.

Laser Activation: A special laser or light is used to activate the whitening gel. The light enhances the chemical reaction, accelerating the breakdown of stains and discoloration.

Monitoring: The process may involve multiple sessions of gel application and laser activation. Throughout the procedure, the dentist monitors the progress and ensures that your teeth are responding well to the treatment.

Post-Whitening Care: After the desired level of whitening is achieved, any remaining gel is removed, and your dentist may provide post-whitening care instructions.

Benefits of laser teeth whitening include:

Speed: The process is typically faster compared to some at-home whitening methods, providing immediate results in a single visit.

Effectiveness: Professional laser teeth whitening can result in significant improvements in tooth color and can address stubborn stains.

Precision: The use of laser technology allows for precise application and activation of the whitening gel.

It's important to note that the effectiveness of teeth whitening can vary based on factors such as the type and severity of stains, the initial color of your teeth, and your oral health. Also, not everyone is a candidate for teeth whitening, and some individuals may experience tooth sensitivity as a temporary side effect.
