Teeth whitening is one of the most popular and in-demand dental procedures today. With technologies and modern techniques advancing at lightning speed, there are now countless methods of teeth whitening in dentistry. The key question is — which of them are truly effective? Let’s take a closer look together.
In modern global dentistry, there are several in-office teeth whitening methods:
Mechanical whitening. Performed through professional cleaning with ultrasound, AirFlow technology, and various polishing brush attachments.
Chemical whitening. A special peroxide-based gel is applied to the tooth surface, lightening the enamel by several shades.
Photo whitening. Involves using a halogen, ultraviolet, or LED lamp to activate the whitening gel applied to the enamel.
Internal (endodontic) whitening. A specialized procedure used when a tooth darkens after improper root canal treatment. The tooth is opened, a whitening compound is placed inside, and then the tooth is sealed and later restored.
Laser whitening. Currently the safest and most effective whitening method in modern dentistry. It involves applying a special gel to the teeth, which is activated by a diode laser beam.
Based on over 10 years of experience, international training of our specialists, and continuous monitoring of global dental innovations, the “Sa-Nata” clinic network performs teeth whitening exclusively using the laser whitening method.
Laser teeth whitening offers a number of advantages over other methods:
The procedure takes only 40 minutes
Completely painless and comfortable for the patient
Instant and visibly noticeable results
Results last up to 5–6 years (with proper maintenance and aftercare)
Allows the enamel shade to become significantly whiter and brighter
Safe for overall dental and oral health
At the “Sa-Nata” clinic, laser teeth whitening is performed using two types of lasers: the Italian Doctor Smile diode laser and the American-made Biolase laser.
Both of these innovative laser systems are completely safe for the patient’s health. As an additional benefit, the Biolase and Doctor Smile lasers also provide a preventive antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect on the teeth, enhancing both treatment efficiency and oral health.
Examination and Diagnostics. Every professional dental procedure begins with a consultation, examination, and diagnostics. Whitening can only be performed on healthy teeth, so the first step is to assess the patient’s oral condition and ensure the teeth are in good health.
Tooth Preparation. If treatment is needed (for example, to address cavities), a complete oral sanitation is carried out before proceeding to the whitening procedure.
Shade Selection and Cleaning. During the consultation, the dentist and patient use the Vita shade guide — a standardized chart of natural enamel tones — to determine the desired tooth shade. If all teeth are healthy, a professional comprehensive cleaning is performed.
Gum Protection. The gums are isolated using a special gel or liquid dam that serves as a protective barrier against laser exposure.
Whitening Gel Application. A special whitening gel is applied to the tooth surface, which will react with the laser light during the next stage.
Laser Treatment. Each tooth is illuminated with a Doctor Smile or Biolase laser. A reaction occurs between the whitening gel and the laser light, resulting in the lightening of the enamel.
Cleaning Teeth and Gums. The remaining whitening gel is removed from the tooth surface, and the protective gel or dam is cleared from the gums.
Result Stabilization and Prevention. A protective fluoride varnish is applied to the teeth to seal and preserve the whitening result while also preventing new plaque buildup on the enamel surface.
