Teeth whitening is a commonly performed cosmetic dentistry treatment that involves applications of a bleaching agent to whiten the teeth.
This agent is activated by a high-intensity plasma light (laser). It will remove stains and restore the original color of the teeth. We use a whitening agent that is more concentrated than what you would find in grocery store tooth whitening products.
Our laser bleaching treatment contains both dentistry cleaning and whitening which takes only 1 hour to complete. Cleaning contains tartar removal which is suggested to have every 6-9 months. Results are immediate! Color shade can increase up to 5 shades. But this is not guaranteed!
Whitening does not have the same effect on everybody , factors like age, the surface of the teeth, the thickness of the enamel, how the tooth is worn, the patient eating and drinking habit, the patient oral hygiene are all effects on the whitening and unfortunately there is no guarantee that everybody will have Hollywood white teeth. We are using the same material what we are getting different result.
Typically you can expect whitening to last from six months to two years. Just for 3 days after treatment you may experience sensitivity since activation of the whitening agent continues still. Just for 1 week colored stuff consumption like coffee, tea, red wine, sauces are not allowed if you want whitening to last longer.
If you want your teeth to be a particular shade, say Hollywood white, consider Dental Veneers or Dental Crowns instead, which we also offer.
