According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the demand for teeth whitening has increased 300 percent over the past 5 years. The increased demand and latest technologies have ensured that teeth-whitening is accessible to anyone.
Laser teeth whitening, administered by Plano Smile Studio in Texas, is a completely safe, FDA-approved procedure that has been performed on thousands of patients to date. Faster and more efficient than other treatments, Laser whitening can be completed in less than an hour right in your Dallas dentist’s office.
“Laser whitening” is a universal term used to describe whitening procedures that employs a light activated gel. This gel contains an ‘activator’ that becomes excited when light is applied. Halogen or LED lamps are most commonly used as curing lights to accelerate the whitening process.
The whitening gel normally contains hydrogen peroxide and the activator, in varied degrees based on what brand is used. When this gel is applied to the teeth and exposed to the light, the hydrogen peroxide breaks down into hydroxyl free radicals, that will break down and remove deeply penetrating stains. The toughest stains caused by tobacco, cigarettes, coffee are removed in no time.
While not always permanent, this process can last for some years, but it is recommended that it be repeated once a year to maintain its appeal. There are touch up kits that will allow patients to perform this task at will, within their own home.
