Why Teeth Discolor and Stain?
There are many different ways that teeth can be stained. Common causes are age, antibiotics, excess fluoride, illness and certain beverage consumption. Teeth Whitening removes the discoloration on the teeth and restores them to their original whiteness.
Features
In laser teeth whitening systems, the dentist spreads a peroxide gel over the teeth and uses a laser, usually set in the blue spectrum, to activate the gel. This laser is used to accelerate the process of teeth whitening. Dentists use compounds containing peroxide because this breaks down pigments in the teeth into colorless byproducts.
Time Frame
The actual time it takes for a laser whitening system to work depends on the amount of discoloration, though most laser systems can work in as little as an hour. For laser treatment, the dentist seats you in the dental chair, applies the gel to the teeth, inserts a paint on dental dam and a cheek retractor to prevent the peroxide compound from burning the mouth and shines the blue laser light on the teeth for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Benefits
Laser whitening systems are typically the fastest whitening systems available. It usually takes one trip to the dentist. However, laser whitening is on average about $600, which is one of the most expensive systems. Dentist often offer laser whitening, but some practices, such as ours specialize in this process. Dentists and dental professionals, such as dental hygienist are best qualified to whiten your teeth. Only dentist and dental professionals are allowed to apply whitening gel to your teeth.
