Laser Teeth Whitening

With this laser technique, a protective gel is also placed on the gums and later on each tooth a dental whitening gel containing 35% hydrogen peroxide. The big difference is the laser exposure times on dental tissues. It's very fast. In a few minutes you will have the whitening you have always wanted. The laser has different wavelengths. One for whitening and another therapeutic to immediately reduce sensitivity.

Important Prior Considerations

1. Usually there is sensitivity during the treatment, we recommend using Dolni-K rinses, at least two weeks before whitening and brushing with commercial or medicated sensitivity creams.
2. The intensity of the whitening will depend on each patient.
3. It is proven that whitening done slowly and gradually is safer and better.
4. A procedure is generally done in 2 sessions of 45 minutes separated by 8 days. Sometimes the teeth lighten in 30 or 40 minutes, but in the same way the treatment must be continued to avoid the rapid regression of the initial color; that is why offering immediate bleaching is deceiving patients.
5. When the patient is unaware of the natural white tones, it can force the dentist to exceed the treatment times, causing damage to the enamel matrix (chalk white), which is known as the saturation point. Beauty is not measured by the intensity of color, we must not deviate from the natural and physiological.
6. Whitening is not used in children under 16 years of age, nor in pregnant women.
7. Once the treatment is finished, the color must be fixed and the teeth shined several days later.
8. If you have undergone orthodontic treatment, it is advisable to whiten 6 months later.

If you're using at-home teeth whitening kits, it's generally safe to use them as often as the manufacturer says. Most at-home kits contain a lower concentration of the bleaching agent than professional treatments, so they may not be as effective at removing deep-seated stains. Professional teeth whitening treatments, such as those performed by a dentist, may be more effective in removing deep stains and can be repeated as needed. However, it is important to note that teeth whitening is not a permanent solution and the effects of treatment may wear off over time.
