Why is teeth whitening needed?

When discolouration develops, teeth whitening can help to restore a white smile – the results are immediate, efective and will last for a long period of time.

With age our teeth become darker; they acquire a yellowish tint or may become stained. The colour of our teeth changes because of the stains which appear on the tooth surface or due to some changes in the tooth structure itself. 

Age-related stains are extrinsic ones, not deeply penetrated into the enamel or the dentin. Such teeth usually have a yellowish tint and are easy to b e whitened.

Tooth colour is the most important factor while trying to predict the outcome of the whitening procedure. Yellowish teeth respond best to bleachinng whereas brownish or greyish teeth tend to be less responsive.

A white, bright smile can help you make a dramatic impression and help you feel better about yourself. Tooth whitening can remove years of stains from your teeth, making your smile significantly brighter. Teeth whitening is becoming ever more popular. A whiter, brighter smile is beautiful – it can help you feel better about yourself and make a memorable impression. The most common causes of tooth discoloration are due to the everyday things that we enjoy such as tea, coffee, wine, nicotine etc. During tooth formation may also cause tooth discoloration like antibiotics or excessive fluoride in a drink water

Laser teeth whitening

Laser teeth whitening is one of the most advanced, effective and safest teeth whitening methods available to date.

Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural teeth and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile.

What Makes Teeth Yellow or Stained?

The most common causes of yellow, grey or dull looking teeth are; normal aging, consumption of coffee, tea, colas, tobacco, the use of antibiotics such as tetracycline, excessive fluoride, trauma and nerve degeneration.

Safe, Effective and Inexpensive

Teeth whitening has been around for many years.  However, earlier versions often included overly strong chemicals that were difficult to handle.  In addition, the at-home treatment was often uncomfortable, cumbersome and only partially effective.

Because having whiter teeth has now become the number one aesthetic concern of most patients, there are now a number of ways to whiten teeth.  Our office currently offers atrue laser whitening treatment as well as an improved at-home whitening system.  In just one short visit, you can now enjoy the benefits of a whiter and more confident smile with “true” laser teeth whitening.

Diode Laser Teeth Whitening

The Diode Dental Laser is a device at the cutting edge of technology, designed for a wide variety of procedures, including whitening.  Diode Laser Teeth Whitening is achieved with a proprietary photo-activated whitening gel that is activated by the selective absorption characteristics of a specific true-laser wavelength of light.

This is one of the most advanced, widely-accepted and effective tooth whitening methods in current use.  It has transformed the appearance of thousands of patients.  Even for those whose teeth are deeply stained, yellowed or gray in color, Diode Laser Teeth Whitening offers outstanding results.

Best of all, the Diode Laser Whitening procedure is completed in just four (4) 30-second sessions, performed in one short visit.

Since teeth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is important to evaluate the status of any old fillings, crowns, or other esthetic restorations prior to treatment.  Replacement of any inadequate restorations will be done after whitening, so they will match the newly whitened teeth.

Diode Laser Whitening vs. Traditional Non-Laser Whitening

Most dental offices and all spas and salons that offer “laser teeth whitening” do not, in fact, use an actual diode laser in the procedure.  The term “laser” has been loosely used to refer to bleaching systems that use light as an activator.  These lights are actually non-laser plasma lights.  There is a significant difference in both the effectiveness and safety of these plasma lights, versus true diode laser activation.

Diode Laser

The wavelength output of the diode laser is synchronized to the proprietary whitening gel, which increases efficiency and minimizes the amount of energy required to produce maximum whitening.  This results in shortened treatment time and increases effectiveness while eliminating the heating of teeth that can result in post-operative sensitivity.
 
Non-Laser Plasma Light  (Inaccurately referred to as a “laser” light)

Ordinary non-laser whitening systems require longer treatment times and higher energy output because of their inefficiencies.  Non-laser whitening devices use just a tiny percentage of the broad-spectrum light’s energy.  The rest of the energy is wasted as heat and light, which is absorbed by the teeth and adjacent tissues, often resulting in intra-operative and post-operative sensitivity.

Is Teeth Whitening Effective for Everyone?

Everyone’s teeth respond differently to teeth whitening, but in almost all cases the results are dramatic.  An examination by Dr. Kenward or Dr. Mayoral will determine if you are a good candidate for whitening at the time of your free consultation.  The long-term results depend primarily on the individual.  Certain habits, such as the use of tobacco products, drinking a lot of coffee, tea and colas can work against the results.  Regular professional care can help maintain your natural whiteness for up to 2 years or more.
