Laser teeth whitening is just one of the many teeth-whitening treatments we offer here at One and Only Dental. It must be carried out at the practice and involves applying bleach to each individual tooth before applying heat from a laser to help the whitening process.
Because laser teeth-whitening involves much higher levels of hydrogen peroxide, every precaution has to be taken when protecting the rest of your mouth during the treatment.
Patients will be given cheek retractors to wear, along with a dental dam to cover and protect the gums. You will also undergo a desensitising process for this treatment to help reduce tooth sensitivity during and after the treatment.
Most laser teeth-whitening treatments take about an hour in the chair.
How long the results of your teeth-whitening last will depend on your lifestyle, and on whether or not you smoke, or drink red wine, tea or coffee in large amounts. However, laser teeth-whitening is believed to last up to six months longer than other teeth-whitening treatments.
