Tooth Whitening

One of the most commonly requested procedures today, also referred to as bleaching, tooth whitening is simple, producing a brighter smile.

Our “truly” laser tooth whitening represents a leap in technology which has elevated the standard for cosmetic dentistry. The laser tooth whitening system was designed to utilize advanced laser technology. The laser is synchronized with a proprietary photon activated whitening gel, that is activated by the selective absorption characteristics of this specific laser wavelength. Our laser tooth whitening system has been engineered with the most optimum laser beam characteristics to be used with the proprietary gel for whitening. 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, Laser Tooth Whitening offers outstanding results. With exceptional service and first-class care at an affordable price, we will give you plenty of reasons to smile during your holidays!

• Regular checks ups and cleanings will help you to maintain your beautiful new smile as well as keeping your teeth and gums in healthy condition.
• Brush at least twice a day and floss regularly. This drastically reduces plaque and tartar buildup as well as keeping the stains to a minimum
• To keep your smile bright and beautiful, avoid the consumption of something that cause staining. Tobacco and smoking are also major causes of staining. To keep stains at a minimum develop healthy oral habits.
• ou may have a small degree of sensitivity. This will disappear usually within a 24 hour period. Avoid foods and beverages that are too hot or cold, and try to stay away from acidic foods like oranges, grapefruit, tomatoes and foods that contain these things.
• If you want to extend the period of your new color, “touch up” program by either laser whitening or home bleaching can be done once a year.

The Chemical Reaction

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) breaks down to water (H2O) and a free oxygen radical (O) The smaller, less pigmented constituents by rapid oxidation. These compounds have double bonds and long carbon chains that are subsequently reduced to smaller carbon chains and hydroxyl groups, which eliminate discoloration.

The initiation of bleaching occurs through the application of laser which emits monochromatic light at a specific wavelength absorbed by the catalyst molecules only, thus accelerating the release of activated bleaching molecules. Hydrogen peroxide, the most accepted active ingredient for in-office bleaching, does not decompose readily, which is partly why current bleaching procedures require lengthy visits.

The“Truly” Laser tooth whitening has developed a Laser Gel that, when combined with hydrogen peroxide, becomes a solution responsive to specific laser wavelengths resulting in a rapid production of free oxygen radicals.

Laser : The laser wavelength output is synchronized to the proprietary whitening gel, which increases fficiency 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 : 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 polychromatic light's energy. The rest of the energy is wasted as heat and light, which is absorbed by the teeth and adjacent tissues, which often results in intra-operative and post-operative sensitivity.

Etiology Type of Discoloration

Factors & Causes

Tooth color is in most cases an inherited trait, however, tooth color mainly depends upon the condition of the teeth, dental health and lifestyle.

Various factors could lead to tooth darkening or discoloration. The most common factor are : the intake of staining fluids, such as cola, tea, coffee or wine; tobacco; cigarette smoking and time. Change in temperature of foods and drinks allow the teeth to expand and contract, thus enabling the penetration of stains onto the teeth.

Foods that are slightly acidic open up the pores of the enamel and allow stains to move in. Teeth darken as we age because the staining factors act upon the teeth for a longer period of time. There are also internal causes such as tetracycline stains, fluorosis, injury, dental work and, of course, the aging process. Depending upon the severity of staining, bleaching will lighten the darkest areas but may not totally remedy the condition.
