FAQ About Laser Whitening in Medellín

¿What is Dental Laser Whitening?

Laser Whitening is a bleaching process that lightens discoloration of enamel and dentin.

¿How long does Laser Whitening Chairside Whitening take?

The complete procedure takes about an hour. The procedure begins with a preparation period followed as little as by 30-45 minutes of bleaching. (A cleaning is recommended prior to the whitening session.)

¿How does the Laser Whitening In-office system work?

The laser light activated whitening gel's active ingredient is Hydrogen Peroxide. As the Hydrogen Peroxide is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching colored substances while the structure of the tooth is unchanged. The laser light aids in activating the hydrogen peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth. A study has shown that use of the laser lamp increases the effectiveness of the Whitening gel by 26% or more, giving an average improvement of up to eight shades.

¿What will I experience during the Laser Whitening In-Office Procedure?

During the procedure, patients may comfortably watch television or listen to music. Individuals with a strong gag reflex or anxiety may have difficulty undergoing the entire procedure.

¿How long do the results last?

By following some simple post whitening care instructions, your teeth will always be lighter than they were before. To keep your teeth looking their best, we recommend flossing, brushing twice daily and occasional touch-ups with Whitenings gels or Night White gel. These are professional formula products designed specifically to keep your teeth their brightest. They are available only through your dental professional.

¿Are there any side effects?

Sensitivity during the treatment may occur with some patients. The laser light generates minimal heat which is the usual source of discomfort. On rare occasions, minor tingling sensations are experienced immediately after the procedure, but always dissipate. You can also ask your dentist to supply you with anti-sensitivity toothpaste for use prior to treatment.

¿What causes tooth discoloration?

There are many causes. The most common include aging and consumption of staining substances such as coffee, tea, colas, tobacco, red wine, etc. During tooth formation, certain antibiotics or excessive fluoride may also cause tooth discoloration.
