Laser teeth whitening is a quick and effective way to whiten teeth.
Laser teeth whitening – how exactly does it work?
This procedure uses a semiconductor laser to stimulate a whitening gel applied to the surface of the teeth. The laser selectively targets pigment particles in the teeth, catalysing a reaction with the gel to remove tartar, plaque, pigmentation, nicotine stains and other discolorations, resulting in whiter and brighter-looking teeth.
Which types of dental discoloration are typically treatable with laser teeth whitening procedures?
Yellow teeth
Laser teeth whitening is effective in treating dark stains caused by tetracycline and deep smoke stains on yellowed teeth. It is painless and has no harmful effects on teeth or gums.
Tetracycline teeth
Tetracycline teeth, a type of tooth staining, can result from the overuse of tetracycline antibiotics during infancy, pregnancy, or lactation. However, laser teeth whitening can be an effective solution for whitening teeth affected by tetracycline staining.
