Laser Teeth Whitening

Nowadays people have the opportunity to choose among a wide range of teeth whitening procedures. Laser whitening is the quickest but also one of the most expensive teeth whitening procedures available today. This cosmetic procedure will provide a white, bright smile in a very short time. It usually doesn't take more than a visit to the dentist to achieve a brighter smile. The visit's duration can however vary depending upon the degree of stains you have. First of all the dentist will clean the teeth, removing any tartar or stains. The dentist will next take a digital photograph of your teeth to show you the difference achieved after the laser whitening. A whitening compound will be prepared while your gums will be covered with some sort of protective gel material. Your cheeks and lips will be kept away from the teeth through a cheek retractor. The dentist will next apply bleaching gel to the teeth using a laser light to activate it and also to speed up the process.

Laser bleaching costs can vary according to the type of treatment you need and the area of the country where you choose to have the whitening procedure done. You should only use laser whitening after a previous discussion with your cosmetic dentist and only if he recommends it as the most appropriate procedure for you.
