Laser teeth whitening

What is laser teeth whitening

Discoloration, especially of the front teeth, can be a serious aesthetic problem for a patient. One of the ways to correct tooth color and lighten the natural shade of enamel is laser teeth whitening. This method allows you to achieve a bright white smile in just one visit to the “SA-NATA” dental clinic.

Teeth whitening with a dental laser involves coating the teeth with a special whitening agent that reacts to the laser beams during the procedure, resulting in brighter and whiter enamel. Importantly, this procedure does not require any mechanical intervention in the enamel, making it completely safe and practically free of contraindications.

A properly performed laser teeth whitening procedure in Kyiv, under the supervision of a dentist or hygienist at our clinic, is safe for your teeth. We use the safest and most effective method — diode laser whitening, which allows patients of all ages to whiten their teeth safely and for a long time. A major advantage of this method is the complete reduction of tooth sensitivity. The result is visible immediately.

Laser teeth whitening involves the use of a whitening gel with a high concentration of active ingredients, activated by a high-energy diode laser. The procedure in our clinic lasts about one hour, and the patient leaves with visibly whiter and brighter teeth.

Laser teeth whitening — preparation, contraindications, specialist recommendations

Modern dentistry makes it possible to quickly and effortlessly eliminate unattractive enamel discoloration or tooth staining in just one visit. After the procedure, many of our patients finally stopped covering their mouths and feeling self-conscious about their smiles.

Before starting laser whitening, it is necessary to:

• treat any carious lesions;

• replace damaged fillings;

• undergo professional oral hygiene (scaling, air-polishing).

Contraindications for the procedure include:

• pregnancy;

• breastfeeding;

• severe tooth sensitivity;

• allergy to whitening product ingredients.

For the first 2 hours after laser whitening, only mineral water (without lemon) is allowed.

For 48 hours after the procedure, you should follow a “white diet”: white sauces, pasta, rice, potatoes, boiled egg whites, boiled chicken, boiled fish, white dairy products, natural yogurts, white cheese, dry cereals, and bananas. Drink mineral water without lemon, white alcohol (except light beer), and milk.

The white diet involves consuming non-colored foods and drinks. Avoid dark sauces, soups, pâtés, yellow and processed cheeses, dried or cooked vegetables, fruits (except bananas), and chocolate. Do not drink tea, coffee, blackcurrant, raspberry, cranberry juices, Coca-Cola, red wine, dark or light beer, or colored alcoholic beverages. Smoking should also be avoided, as tobacco smoke can significantly stain the whitened teeth.

To keep the effect of laser whitening for as long as possible, you should regularly undergo professional oral hygiene procedures at the dentist’s office and use the recommended hygiene products. The whitening effect can be prolonged by using whitening toothpastes.

At what age can teeth be whitened? There are no strict age restrictions. It is best to start whitening after the age of 16, when the development of teeth is complete, and it is essential to consult a dentist. Young people’s teeth are not yet fully developed and are more sensitive to any serious intervention. Whitening too early may weaken the teeth. However, there is no upper age limit for laser teeth whitening. For older people with naturally yellower teeth, the result can be even more impressive, so the procedure is worth doing even at an advanced age.

Beautiful, healthy, and white teeth are the dream of many people. White teeth make you look more attractive, youthful, and are a sign of good health and self-care. Enjoy a beautiful, bright white smile by choosing the laser teeth whitening service at the SA-NATA dental clinic network.
