Discolored teeth can be improved with laser teeth whitening at our facility. The food you eat over time is the most prevalent cause of teeth getting dull or discolored. The enamel, which is the hard outermost covering of your teeth, can be stained by certain foods and beverages. Laser teeth whitening can eliminate stains that normal brushing and over-the-counter teeth whitening treatments can’t. Cigarette smoking can also discolor your teeth. When the dentin appears through the enamel, teeth might seem yellow. The dentin is the layer of the tooth that lies underneath the enamel. Age, heredity, certain drugs, poor dental hygiene, and drinking particular foods and/or drinks on a regular basis can all cause yellowing.
WHAT IS LASER TEETH WHITENING?
Laser teeth whitening is a laser-based in-office therapy that may brighten the smile by many shades. Teeth whitening usually takes 60-90 minutes to finish in the majority of situations. The benefits of laser teeth whitening can persist for months – even years – if you take care of your teeth at home with a daily oral health regimen and watch what you eat. Because the laser technology utilized is meant to remove just the color build-up that has accumulated over time, rather than the tooth structure itself, laser teeth whitening is a safe technique that does not harm the teeth. A concentrated gel will be carefully applied to the teeth and triggered by a laser during laser teeth whitening. The combination of this gel and laser technology removes discolorations and whitens the smile.
It’s crucial not to eat or drink anything dark-colored for at least 72 hours following any teeth whitening process. Blueberries, red wine, coffee, and turmeric are among the foods and beverages to avoid. In the days after your laser teeth whitening procedure, you should refrain from smoking.

IS LASER TEETH WHITENING BAD FOR YOUR TEETH?
No, laser teeth whitening is a safe and effective approach to improve the appearance of your smile. The laser technique used in laser teeth whitening is meant to target particles that contribute to stains in the microtubules (pores) of the teeth. Laser teeth whitening causes no harm to the teeth and can safely eliminate stains and discolorations.
HOW LONG DOES PROFESSIONAL TEETH WHITENING LAST?
Professional teeth whitening can last up to a year and a half in most cases. Teeth whitening usually lasts longer for those who maintain good dental hygiene. Patients who drink coffee, tea, or red wine on a daily basis may discover that their benefits disappear faster. Tobacco usage can also reduce the effectiveness of tooth whitening. Every 1-2 years, we recommend a follow-up laser teeth whitening procedure or a tray whitening “boost” system that is custom-made for your teeth.
WHO IS AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR LASER TEETH WHITENING?
Patients who have tried and failed to whiten their teeth with over-the-counter whitening procedures are ideal candidates for laser teeth whitening. Laser teeth whitening may be beneficial for patients who have a build-up of stains and discolorations. Patients must be in good dental health to be candidates for laser teeth whitening. Teeth whitening procedures will not whiten restorations in the front of your mouth (smile line). We can offer an alternative therapy if an underlying problem is discovered that precludes you from undergoing laser tooth whitening. We can evaluate if laser teeth whitening is good for you after your teeth are healthy.
