What is laser teeth whitening?

 

Laser teeth whitening is the process of whitening a patient’s teeth using strong bleach and high-powered light (lasers are not used) for a short period, usually between 60 and 90 minutes.

The whitening is done with hydrogen peroxide, which is the active ingredient in many tooth whitening products. The high-powered light heats the whitening solution and claims to accelerate the whitening process.

How does laser teeth whitening work?

A protective barrier is put in place around your gums and your lips to protect them from bleach. At this point, your teeth get covered in bleach.

The bleach used contains a high concentration of hydrogen peroxide. A very high-strength light is then used to activate the bleach.

This process is usually repeated several times to achieve the desired shade. This is the process behind laser teeth whitening. As the bleach and the light used are both quite strong, the whitening process is more rapid than other techniques

Is laser teeth whitening safe?

Laser teeth whitening is generally safe.
