What Does a Laser Teeth Whitening Procedure Involve?

It takes between 30 minutes and one hour to complete the Laser teeth whitening procedure. This implies that the procedure is done in one day in one session. We understand that every patient is different, so we carefully plan your trip from A-Z and we hook you up with an expert dentist who can customize the procedure so as to suit your preferences, goals, expectations as well as the dental clinic’s best practices. Here are some of the stages you should expect when you choose to have this procedure

        1.    Preparation  

As part of your preparation, you’re required to replace your toothpaste with the ones for sensitive teeth, at least one week before the procedure.  You should eat before the procedure because you will not be allowed to eat for a few hours after the procedure. 

2.     Procedure 

When the whitening process starts, your dentist will apply bleaching gel to each tooth. After the bleach is applied, the dentist will use a heat generated Laser to accelerate the process and increase the effectiveness of the bleach. The dentist will use a very powerful bleaching gel that the laser activates and develops for fast and more satisfying results.

During the teeth whitening procedure, the dentists are using a hydrogen peroxide gel with concentration levels ranging between 25 to 40 percent. Due to this high concentration levels, your dentist will take special precautions to reduce tooth sensitivity and also to protect gums, lips and other tissues from any damage.

• You should avoid coloured soft or alcoholic beverages such as tea, coffee, red wine or cola so as to maintain the whiteness after the procedure.
• If you want your results to last longer, you should stop smoking for good.
