Laser Tooth Whitening by The laser teeth whitening
"Gentle, Safe, Fast and Effective in just 1 visit"

      Aesthetic expectations of patients have increased dramatically over the last few years leading to an increased interest in various tooth whitening procedures available on the market.

      Although home bleaching is effective and has become extremely popular over the past decade, it nevertheless presents drawbacks. Patient complaints are often related to uneasy trays, gum and stomach irritation, and unpleasant taste. Furthermore, the home bleaching technique is a time consuming procedure. In some case the treatment takes several weeks, and does not always show the desired results.

      Another once popular technique involved hot bleaching with a heat lamp. Among problems associated with this technique were increased tooth sensitivity, pulpitis, etc.

      Today's studies and research prove that laser energy (which is single color light energy) provides the key to in-office tooth whitening. The advent of the dental laser has proven to be the means of alleviating some of the problems of in-office bleaching. Since the laser energy potentially accelerates the chemical reaction, it thereby expedites the process without raising the temperature of the teeth, thus avoiding damage to the pulp.

      Laser tooth whitening is safe and will not soften enamel or existing fillings. The main ingredient in the gel that's used during the process is hydrogen peroxide. Dentists have used hydrogen peroxide solutions to whiten teeth for years.

The Chemical Reaction

      Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) breaks down to water (H2O) and a free oxygen radical (O) The smaller, less pigmented constituents by rapid oxidation. These compounds have double bonds and long carbon chains that are subsequently reduced to smaller carbon chains and hydroxyl groups, which eliminate discoloration.

      The initiation of bleaching occurs through the application of laser which emits monochromatic light at a specific wavelength absorbed by the catalyst molecules only, thus accelerating the release of activated bleaching molecules.

      Hydrogen peroxide, the most accepted active ingredient for in-office bleaching, does not decompose readily, which is partly why current bleaching procedures require lengthy visits.

      “Truly” Laser Tooth Whitening has developed a Laser Gel that, when combined with hydrogen peroxide, becomes a solution responsive to specific laser wavelengths resulting in a rapid production of free oxygen radicals.
