Effectiveness of laser teeth whitening: facts and myths
Laser teeth whitening for whiter teeth has raised many emotions and questions over the years. Some people are delighted with the results, while others are more sceptical. Therefore, I would like to introduce you to both the advantages and potential disadvantages of this method.
What does laser teeth whitening involve?
The procedure involves applying a special whitening gel to the teeth, which is then activated using a laser. This process accelerates the breakdown of enamel staining compounds, leading to more effective teeth whitening compared to traditional methods. The effects can be visible after just one visit, making this method very attractive.
Key aspects of laser teeth whitening:
- Effectiveness: Many patients notice a significant improvement in the colour of their teeth after just one treatment.
- Speed: The whitening process usually takes between 30 minutes and one hour.
- Safety: With proper care and following the doctor's instructions, the procedure is safe for enamel.
- Painlessness: Most patients experience no pain or discomfort during the procedure.
Does laser teeth whitening always produce satisfactory results?
Although laser teeth whitening can be very effective, it does not always produce the same results for all patients. This is influenced by various factors, such as:
- Baseline condition of teeth: Teeth with a lot of discolouration may require several sessions to achieve the desired effect.
- Addictions: Smoking and drinking large amounts of coffee or tea can significantly affect the longevity of the effects.
- Diet: The consumption of staining foods and drinks can speed up the process of returning teeth to their original colour.
- Oral hygiene: Regular dental cleanings and follow-up visits to the dentist prolong the effects of the treatment.
What is worth knowing before the procedure?
Before opting for laser teeth whitening for whiter teeth, it is advisable to consult an experienced dentist who will carefully assess the condition of your teeth and advise whether this method is right for you. It may be that another whitening method will have better results in your case.
