Teeth Whitening
What is teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening includes bleaching or other methods to lighten yellowed teeth and remove stains.
Over time, drinking certain beverages like coffee, smoking and eating certain foods can cause discolouration, staining and yellowing of the teeth. The natural aging process can also lead to the yellowing of the teeth. Poor dental hygiene and trauma to the teeth can also cause stains to form.
Whitening strips and home remedies such as applying baking soda are usually temporary fixes that don’t offer sustainable solutions for whiter teeth. Although having yellowed teeth is not harmful to one’s health, many people with discolouration on their teeth experience low self-confidence and desire a brighter smile.
For long-lasting results, professional grade laser whitening treatment laser treatment is a popular choice as it’s a safe and harmless procedure, as well as effective.
How do teeth whitening treatments work?
Teeth whitening laser treatments work by applying bleaching gel on your teeth, then using high intensity laser therapy to heat up the gel so it penetrates deep into the layers. This process activates the whitening process of the gel for long-lasting and effective results.
It’s a painless procedure where the patient usually only experiences some sensitivity for a short while afterwards. Results are often visible after just one session.
