Laser teeth whitening is one of the latest developments in home teeth whitening, and according to several reviews the use of a blue light during the whitening treatment can speed up results. In fact, what we consider as a laser light is in most cases a halogen or LED light.

It is widely accepted that a beautiful, bright smile is an important contributing factor in our social, professional and clinica odontologica personal relations. Most of us are often jealous of the white pearly teeth of celebrities in the media and wish we could have an equally attractive smile.



This can be a really expensive treatment if we opt for in-surgery whitening. Several years ago, there was no alternative to having one's teeth whitened at a dentist's surgery. Nowadays, some home teeth-whitening kits include a handheld blue laser light which is equally effective to the laser light used by dentists.

Do-it-yourself laser teeth whitening can have the same spectacular effect as a laser treatment at your dentist's surgery at a fraction of the cost and in the privacy and comfort of your home.

Professional Teeth Whitening

People who choose to have their teeth professionally whitened are usually aware of the cost and the time the whole process this would require.



Before the whitening process starts, the dentist always makes sure that your teeth are healthy. If fillings are necessary, the dentist will tell you that these have to be done before the whitening process. After that, the dentist will assess how stained and discolored your teeth are in order to inform you about the necessary sessions and the cost involved.

Conventional procedure may start with a preliminary cleansing of the teeth and the necessary customized moulding of the mouth trays so that the whitening gel can be properly and evenly applied on the teeth. Customized mouth trays are very important for safe and effective whitening because they fit perfectly on the teeth and they do not allow the whitening gel to come in contact with the gums and irritate them. The whitening gel most dentists use is hydrogen peroxide which can lighten the teeth for more than 10 shades.

The same process with the use of mouth trays may take several visits to the dentist, but the dentist may ask you to perform a couple of self-maintenance treatments in between visits to the dental surgery.

Laser teeth whitening can be a lot faster and produce better results as the light energy can easily accelerate the whitening process. The gums are always protected with a resin-based barrier and the teeth are exposed to the blue light for about 15 minutes. More advanced treatment procedures that involve less heat on the teeth and reduced ultraviolet emissions may allow the teeth to be exposed to the blue light for about 30 minutes. This can reduce the number of visits to the dentist until the desired results are achieved. For teeth that are not severely discolored, the desired whitening result can be achieved in just one session.

Home Laser Teeth Whitening

Home whitening kits can provide high quality whitening results in the most affordable way. A quality whitening kit contains, apart from the whitening gel (usually carbamide peroxide), and the customizable mouth trays, a blue light for optimum results. These kits usually have the same whitening results as in-surgery laser teeth whitening, and there are thousands of positive users' testimonials and teeth-whitening reviews to prove it.

Home teeth-whitening kits are designed in such a way as to allow for easy use and they always come with simple ortodoncia estetica

and clear instructions. Also, the use of the blue light can optimize the treatment so that the final results can be as spectacular.

Whitening your teeth at home is both safe and simple. Most people have noticeable results even from the first use, but it may take from 5 to 10 days for excellent, professional-quality results.
