DENTAL WHITENING

LASER TEETH WHITENING

If you want to whiten your teeth professionally, you can consider laser teeth whitening. Laser teeth whitening is a process that involves the application of a whitening gel, activated by the emission of a laser. This in itself does not whiten teeth. Instead, it activates the whitening gel, warming it up and making it work faster and more effectively. Be sure to schedule your dental cleanings regularly to keep your smile healthy

How does laser whitening work?

In scientific terms, the whitening process occurs through something called photochemical activation. This is a process in which the whitening gel comes into contact with an energy source (laser). This increases the potential of the whitening agent to whiten your teeth. As for what you’ll experience, you can expect more or less the following: Your dentist will place a rubber guard in your mouth to help keep it open during the procedure. Next, he will apply a protective layer on your gums so that they do not come into contact with the whitening gel, thus avoiding irritation and damage. Next, the dentist applies the whitening gel to the teeth and activates it with the laser. At this time, the gel will foam, indicating that it is working. The gel is usually left on the teeth for a few minutes, at which time the dentist removes it and reapplies it until the desired shade is achieved. The entire treatment can last between 30 and 90 minutes, and several appointments may be necessary.
