Laser Teeth Whitening

Unlike most other treatments that require weeks and months of routines to be followed and optimum care to be taken, the laser technique for whitening the teeth has super instant results and is cost-effective. Laser treatment for whitening teeth is now regarded as more effective and worthy than other whitening treatments. It has many more significant results than other treatments and leaves your teeth visibly whiter, sometimes more than 6-shades whiter.

Among other cosmetic surgeries, laser whitening is now being increasingly opted to enhance beauty. Laser treatment is not a surgery, it is bloodless, painless and probably the safest way to whiten your teeth. As we get older, our teeth get darker. This is due to our getting older and also caused by the foods we eat and drink, and by other habits such as smoking. Tea, coffee, red wine and other foods that have strong colours can have an effect on the overall colour of our teeth. Teeth may also darken as a result of some antibiotics.

First, our dentist will assess you to see whether tooth whitening is suitable for you or not. The effects of whitening are thought to last up to three years. However, this will vary from person to person. The effect is less likely to last as long as you smoke or eat or drink products that can stain your teeth. Any side effects are usually temporary and should disappear within a few days after the treatment.

Laser whitening can only lighten your existing tooth colour. Also, it only works on natural teeth. It will not work on any types of false teeth such as dentures, crowns and veneers.

Many people find that their teeth and gums feel cleaner after they have been whitened. The whitening treatment was first used as a treatment to help heal gums, so this is an enhanced benefit.

You can help to keep your teeth white by cutting down on the amount of food and drink you have that can stain your teeth. Don’t forget, that stopping smoking can also help prevent discolouration and staining.
