How does laser whitening work?

Professional Laser Teeth Whitening is the best and only way to achieve maximum whitening in 1 hour. Dublin Vitality Centers 60 minute Laser Teeth Whitening treatment uses professional strength Hydrogen Peroxide to whiten the teeth. LED laser light technology uses a blue green spectrum of 400 - 500 nanometer intensifies the action by oxidising stain pigment which occur within the pelicle layer of the teeths surface. This is the most effective whitening range possible. It is perfectly safe for teeth and gums and achieves fast effective whitening. The IBrite system is used in professional teeth whitening clinics all over the world and is known to be one of the best systems for laser teeth whitening.

What Can I expect When I Come For Laser Teeth Whitening?

Firstly you will be asked to complete a consultation form. You will be asked if you have visited your dentist in the past 12 months. You must provide a date in the past year that you have seen your dentist in order to proceed. Your clinician may refuse to perform the treatment if you do not visit your dentist regularly and keep your teeth healthy.

Once your forms are completed you will be seated in a comfortable chair. A cheek retractor is used to keep your teeth exposed. Gel is applied to the teeth. A laser light is activated and applied for 3 x 20 minute intervals. You will watch a DVD during the treatment and will be very comfortable at all times. There is no pain and no stinging. You will have a bell in your hand to alert the clinician if you experience any discomfort.

You must not talk or use your mobile phone, move, text, read a book or do anything but focus on the DVD which will be positioned directly in front of your line of sight.

After 1 hour, the clinicican will finish the treatment and show you your teeth. Your original teeth colour will be compared using a shade guide to show you the difference.

During 1 hour treatment results vary from 3 - 12 shades. Most people experience at least 5 shades of improvement during a 1 hour treatment. Exceptional cases see an improvement of up to 20 shades.

 

How Long Do Results of Laser Teeth Whitening Last?

Once you have a beautiful white smile, you will invariably ask "how long will my teeth stay white?" With whitening, as with any procedure, there is no way to know for sure how long anything will last. Result longevity depends on several factors. If the patient drinks 5 cups of coffee in the morning and a glass of red wine at night, their teeth will begin the slow darkening process as soon as that first drop crosses their lips. For this type of person, usually 6 months to a year is a realistic expectation.

In an ideal patient who avoids food and beverages that stain teeth and is not a smoker, usually 3 years is a realistic expectation. It is important that you understand that darkening of the dentition is a natural part of the aging process and is as unavoidable as any of the other signs of aging. Luckily Laser Teeth Whitening can turn back this aging effect.

 

Natural or Fake White White Teeth

Always aim to keep your smiles looking naturally clean and white. When teeth get too white, they can draw attention to your smile for the wrong reasons. The first thing a person should notice is the quality of the smile. Having really white teeth is not the same as having a great smile. At Dublin Vitality Center we record Hue, Value and Shade of the teeth before we proceed.

A client, who suffered from tetracycline stains since birth, whitened her teeth recently and commented that people told her that she looked younger though they couldn't pinpoint exactly why. That is a successful whitening treatment.

How Does Laser Teeth Whitening Work?

DURING the teeth whitening process, the active ingredient in the gel (hydrogen peroxide) is broken down to water and oxygen, oxygen enters the tooth enamel. This bleaches embedded discolored substances (stains). The structure of the tooth is not changed; only the tooth enamel stain is changed and becomes a lighter and whiter shade. Fillings, crowns, bridges and bonding are not affected.

Do I need a Second Treatment?

No, whitening results are apparent during the FIRST TREATMENT. Typically, the whitening effect becomes even more evident after a second treatment but this is normally only necessary if the teeth are deeply stained by medication such as tetracycline. In this case, teeth will continue to whiten with each successive treatment until desired results are achieved. It is important to note that your teeth will only whiten to their natural shade. If your teeth are naturally cream coloured they will brighten to that shade.

How do I know what my teeths natural colour is?

Look at the white of your eye. That is how white your teeth CAN whiten to. Any whiter than this and your results will appear unnatural and fake. If you have not been keeping regular visits to a dentist and hygienist you may require a second of third treatment. For most people one laser whitening session is enough.
