Teeth Whitening

What Is Teeth Whitening (Laser)?

Laser teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dentistry procedure used to restore the natural whiteness of stained or yellowed teeth.  The dentist begins the teeth whitening process by cleaning the patient’s teeth and removing plaque and build up.  A rubber dam is put in place to protect the gums before the dentist applies a peroxide-based gel to the teeth.  The gel, which carries a professional strength formula, aids the laser in producing the best whitening effect. 

Once the gel is in place, the dentist activates it with a laser.  Taking approximately one hour, the laser teeth whitening procedure can make the patient’s teeth up to 10 shades whiter.  Some patients may have deep stains as a result of prolonged coffee drinking or smoking.  Patients who use certain medications, like tetracycline, might also have darker teeth than necessary.  In these cases, repeated laser teeth whitening sessions may be necessary.
