Who doesn’t want sparkling white teeth like Hollywood stars? Yes? Everyone does I bet! Laser whitening has become a quick solution for most dental patients. Laser whitening is a process that aims to make the teeth whiter by getting rid of stains on its surface.
An effective laser whitening process is achieved through the use of products that causes an intrinsic change to the enamel rather than just the surface. Hence, laser whitening creates a wholesome effect on the enamel rather than just a specific area of the teeth.
The Laser whitening process is carried out in a dental office by an experienced dentist. It creates quick results but remains the most expensive whitening solution administered. First, bleach will be applied to all the teeth which produce heat that speed up the process.
Basically, the bleach is made of highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide gel. However, the concentration of the gel ensures they’re carefully applied to reduce tooth sensitivity as well as damages to the tongue, gum, and lips.
Laser Whitening costs around £500- £2,500 in most dental clinics at Harley Street London. While the cost varies from location to location, it’s the most expensive teeth whitening option available.
If you need a whiter set of teeth and you think laser whitening would be a good option, do stop by at The Harley Street Dentist and our experienced dentist would be glad to be of help.
The biggest advantage of laser teeth whitening is that it doesn’t take long. The entire process is completed within 1 hour and doesn’t require regular medical checkups. Laser whitening is not recommended for people with bleeding gum, sensitive teeth or any form of oral disease. It’s also not a viable option for pregnant women and people under the age of 16
While most patients have high expectations, it should be noted that the results aren’t always 100% predictable. Sometimes, your teeth may appear brighter than it ought to be. However, this is not a long-term solution as there’s no guarantee that the stains won’t surface again if you fail to maintain good oral hygiene.
The reason most people want to whiten their teeth is to improve their physical appearance, which boosts their confidence. Whiter teeth are linked to a healthy lifestyle. Beyond that, wrinkles and lines are less noticeable when you have white teeth that draw people’s attention.
Generally, the advantages of laser whitening are numerous, despite costing considerably high. It induces no pain or injury to patients when treatment is ongoing. Provided the right amount of bleach is used, there’s no cause for damage or irritation of the gum.
There are several home whitening treatment which aims to induce the same effect as laser whitening, but the result has been far from spectacular. Even after using for months, it creates a minimal impact in contrast to laser whitening which produces immediate results.
Laser whitening has it’s own cons — it isn’t completely hitch-free. The probability of getting sparkling white teeth with laser whitening is at a staggering 80%, but that comes at a cost. A huge one at that.
Though it’s the most effective teeth whitening option available, it’s also the least affordable. Failed cases of laser whitening result in teeth sensitivity, but this only lasts for a few days. One of its disadvantages is that it doesn’t offer long-term protection. Hence, it’s effects are short-lived.
The result varies from patient to patient, making it even harder to predict. On average, laser whitening makes your teeth 3-4 shades brighter, but there are cases where the result is far more than what was expected.
No, it isn’t. Normally, the effect will only last for 2-3 years depending on your oral hygiene. For those who use sealants, the result lasts longer since the surface of the teeth is protected. Similarly, you can get a professional cleaning to stretch the effect of this process.
Considering its price, you’re right to seek for an alternative. Fortunately, there are several low-priced options available, but none creates the same result, and neither does their effect last for long. If you want an option outside lasers, you can try an alternative treatment like scaling, veneers, and Lumineers.
