Teeth Whitening

Are you sick of stained, yellowish teeth, and longing to brighten your smile? Laser Dentistry is proving to be a blessing for people affected with dull and stained teeth. This modern whitening technique has now become quite popular as it is quick and easy. A hydrogen peroxide-based gel is applied to the teeth which are then exposed to the light beam. The laser beam enhances the whitening action of the hydrogen peroxide, “exciting” it to act faster. Thus the stains are easily removed.

Here are some of the factors that make laser a more popular option than other whitening methods:

More effective

Only surface stains are removed if you use special toothpastes and whitening strips. Laser teeth whitening procedure penetrates deeper to remove stains at their core and is, therefore, more effective.

It’s fast

Laser dentistry can dramatically whiten your teeth in just one session. Patients often report seeing a difference of seven to eight shades in the first session itself. After a half-an-hour or one-hour session your teeth will be significantly whiter and brighter. However, to experience the total effect, several sessions may be needed.

Laser is Less Damaging

Whitening teeth using laser is non-invasive. It does not result in bleeding of the gums and there will not be any irritation as no additional equipment or appliances are used. And, it has no after-effects. On the other hand, over-the-counter products that you use for whitening teeth at home have a lot of bleach, which can damage the enamel and be too abrasive on the teeth.

Laser dentistry is done with expert supervision and it is gentler and safer.

Lasts Longer
Since old stains are removed during laser teeth whitening it lasts longer. However, your daily oral care routine plays a major role in a lasting white smile!
