Las Vegas Laser Teeth Whitening

Have you ever admired celebrity smiles that seem to glow on the red carpet or yearned for teeth that look naturally white? Thanks to laser teeth whitening treatments, achievable, eye-catching results are no longer out of reach.

How Does Professional Laser Whitening Work?

Laser teeth whitening is an in-office procedure that uses a specially formulated whitening gel and a low-level laser light to penetrate below your teeth’s surfaces and break up stains. The light energy activates and amplifies the whitening gel to lift years of discoloration for noticeably whiter teeth after a single one-hour treatment.

During your appointment, your dentist will first protect your gums. Next, a cheek retractor is placed to keep the mouth open and the special whitening gel is applied to the teeth. As the laser light is directed on the teeth, the gel is broken down into oxygen molecules that lift intrinsic stains and penetrate the microscopic pores of your enamel. The light energy is absorbed by pigments and breaks the chemical bonds of stains, while the oxygen acts as a whitening agent. This dual-action whitening minimizes sensitivity that other professional treatments sometimes cause.

Exceptional Whitening Power Minus Side Effects

Clinical studies published by the National Institutes of Health demonstrate the superior whitening achieved by laser light treatments. On average, test subjects’ teeth brightened 6-8 shades measured on a professional dental shade guide with no negative side effects. The light energy deactivates proteins and enzymes that normally cause sensitivity and irritation.

Research also confirms the safety of laser whitening. A systemic review published in The Journal of Evidence-Based Dental Practice analyzed over 150 studies and concluded no evidence suggests damage to pulp, enamel, or gingival tissue when peroxide whitening gels are used alongside light activation. Using the correct clinical guidelines, laser whitening is considered completely safe for teeth and gums.

Visibly Whiter Teeth in Just One Session

While drugstore whitening strips take weeks of daily use to lighten teeth a couple shades, laser whitening achieves transformative brightening in a single hour-long session. Most patients see a 4 to 8 shade improvement after one treatment. With drastically whiter teeth right away, you can confidently show off your smile leaving the office!

Lasting Results that Rival Nature

In addition to immediate, dramatic whitening, the results of laser teeth whitening treatments endure. With proper oral care and avoidance of dark staining foods and drinks, your glowing smile can last 1 to 3 years. Occasional touch-up sessions can keep teeth looking freshly bright. Compared to at-home whitening kits that last just weeks or months, laser whitening offers considerably longer-lasting outcomes that rival naturally white teeth.

Know If You're a Candidate Before Your Consultation

The ideal candidate for professional laser teeth whitening is someone in overall good oral health with generally healthy teeth and gums. Yellowed teeth or mild intrinsic stains that resist brushing and conventional whitening methods are the most responsive. While the treatment can still brighten teeth with darker stains, severely discolored teeth see a less dramatic effect from a single session.

Ideally, candidates should not have current tooth decay, visible cracks in teeth, recent extractions or oral surgery before starting treatments. For certain conditions, your dentist may recommend waiting or alternative treatments. Scheduling a quick consultation allows your dentist to assess candidacy based on your oral health and goals.

Achieve a Red Carpet Smile with Laser Whitening

For those longing for a smile that dazzles like Hollywood stars on the big screen, laser teeth whitening offers a way to roll out the red carpet for your mouth. In only one swift, comfortable treatment, lackluster teeth transform to reveal a radically brighter, glowing white smile.
