It
is well known that first impressions last and more often
than not the first thing people notice about you is your
smile. A beautiful smile can do more to enhance your appearance
than nearly anything else. We would like to help you achieve
that winning smile. With Laser Teeth Whitening, we can whiter,
creating a bright, radiant smile.
Laser
Tooth Whitening is one of the most advanced, widely-accepted
and effective tooth whitening methods in current use. It
has transformed the appearance of thousands of patients.
Even for those whose teeth are deeply stained, yellowed
or gray in color, Laser Tooth Whitening offers outstanding
results. It is more than just a cleaning, polishing or whitening
of the tooth surface. Using powerful lasers, we are able
to target stain molecules below the surface, within the
structure of the tooth itself, oxidize them, and remove
them completely.
However,
the durability of treatment varies, and depends largely
on how well you look after your teeth. Drinking dark pop
and red wine, smoking, and neglecting dental check ups may
well shorten the life of your white smile. In clinical trials,
the results have been shown to last a minimum of seven years,
although since these trials are relatively new it is possible
that the effects may last even longer.
Laser
Tooth Whitening is a relatively short procedure. A laser,
or heat generating light source, activates a bleaching solution
on the surface of your teeth. Within an hour you’ll walk
out of our clinic with a gorgeous smile!
The chemical reaction:
Hydrogen
peroxide (H2O2) breaks down to water (H2O) and free oxygen
radical (O). The free radicals chemically reduce larger
organic-pigmented molecules in the enamel matrix into smaller,
less pigmented constituents by rapid oxidation. These compounds
have double bonds and long carbon chains that are subsequently
reduced to smaller carbon chains and hydroxyl groups, which
eliminate discoloration. It does not decompose readily,
which is why traditional bleaching procedures require lengthy
visits.
After
Laser Tooth Whitening treatment, you should resume your
normal dental hygiene routine-brushing your teeth at least
twice a day, and flossing. However, we do recommend that
you keep the consumption of staining food, such as tea,
coffee, red wine, etc., to a minimum to ensure your long-lasting
laser white smile.
Advantages :
- One visit is usually all it takes for a bright smile.
- Targets stain molecules below the surface.
- Results last for a minimum of two years.
Advantages
:
- This is the most expensive whitening procedure.
- The change will be very sudden so your friends may
be aware that you have received treatment.
