Before using any whitening product or procedure, it is recommended that you first be evaluated by an oral health professional to determine which laser teeth whitening system and program is best for you.
What causes our teeth to stain and turn yellow or brown? Most people have stains on their teeth caused by age, smoking, coffee or tea. Other types of stains are caused by too much fluoride or unhealthy gum disease.
I know you’re wondering why you should choose a laser teeth whitening system when you can use an at-home kit or whitening toothpaste you get at the drugstore. The problem with most home whitening kits is that studies show that patients experience uncomfortable short-term side effects when their teeth are over-whitened. The hydrogen peroxide in these products can increase tooth sensitivity.
Over-the-counter home whitening products can also wear down tooth enamel, causing long-term and permanent damage. White, the risks are minimal, it is better if a whitening procedure is carried out under the care of a professional so that you are using a controlled application and do not risk swallowing hydrogen peroxide.
Choosing a laser teeth whitening system will give you the best results if you want a whiter smile. It’s quick and convenient, long lasting, safe and effective and is performed by a dental professional. Best of all, it’s a low-sensitivity treatment so your teeth won’t feel sensitive when you drink hot or cold liquids.
Laser whitening systems don’t even compare to home whitening systems. There are treatments that last only 45 minutes and your results will be on average 8 shades lighter. See immediate results that are long-lasting and less likely to fade in the future.
Some home systems run the risk of giving you worse stains in the future. If you are a regular smoker and use their kits to whiten your teeth and then continue to smoke again, you risk getting even darker spots. You can darken your teeth more than they were before! This happens because the chemicals you used to whiten your teeth react to stains from smoking or drinking coffee and amplify the stain!
This is why you should choose a laser teeth whitening system. You’ll feel safe, comfortable and worry-free because it’s performed by a dental professional and you’ll get the immediate results you want. Why pay for other whitening systems that will eventually fade and only remove surface stains?
