What makes me a candidate for laser whitening?

Candidates for laser whitening are those looking to quickly correct discoloration caused by food, drink, smoking, or aging. Ideal candidates should have healthy, unrestored teeth and good gum health. Those with deep stains or intrinsic discoloration may require more intensive treatments, but laser whitening can significantly improve the brightness of most smiles.

What is the process behind laser whitening?

The laser whitening process begins with a thorough cleaning of the teeth to remove any surface plaque. A protective barrier is then applied to the gums to shield them from the high-intensity laser light. A professional-grade whitening gel is applied to the teeth, and a laser is used to activate the gel. The light from the laser helps to break down the stains on the teeth, thus accelerating the whitening process. This procedure typically takes about 45 minutes, and the results are immediate and recognizable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Guiding Your Smile Journey: Detailed FAQs Tailored to Your Needs

Could you explain what laser whitening is?

Laser whitening, also known as laser teeth bleaching, is a cosmetic dental procedure that uses laser light to speed up the bleaching effect of a concentrated gel applied to your teeth. This method provides rapid results and can significantly lighten the color of your teeth in just one session.

How long can I expect the results from laser whitening to last?

The results from laser whitening can last anywhere from six months to two years. The exact duration varies depending on lifestyle choices such as smoking, and your diet, as well as how well you care for your teeth post-procedure, especially in terms of regular brushing and avoiding stain-causing foods and beverages.

Are there any risks or side effects associated with laser whitening?

Laser whitening is generally safe when performed by a qualified professional. The most common side effect is tooth sensitivity, which typically subsides within a few days. It’s important to consult with your dentist to ensure that you are an ideal candidate for this treatment, particularly if you have very sensitive teeth or dental restorations.

What degree of whitening can I expect from the laser treatment?

The degree of whiteness achieved can vary, but most patients notice a change of several shades brighter. The specific outcome depends on the original color of your teeth and the concentration of the bleaching agent used. Your dentist will discuss expected outcomes with you based on your individual situation.

How should I prepare for a laser whitening session?

To prepare for laser whitening, you should have a professional dental cleaning done to remove surface plaque and tartar. It’s also recommended to brush and floss thoroughly to ensure the most effective treatment. Avoiding foods and drinks that stain teeth, such as coffee, tea, and red wine, for a couple of days before the procedure can also enhance results.

Is there any risk of damage to my gums or the enamel of my teeth?

The laser used in whitening treatments is carefully controlled to minimize risks and target only the teeth, not the gums. However, there is always a small risk of gum irritation due to the bleaching agent used, which is why protective measures are taken during the procedure. As for the enamel, studies have shown that laser whitening is safe and does not structurally damage the enamel.
