Tooth whitening is a well established procedure in cosmetic dentistry and research and clinical studies indicate that whitening teeth is safe. Results are seen immediately upon this one visit in-office treatment.
Laser whitening involves using a laser to speed the reaction of whitening gels and usually involves faster procedure times and enhanced results. In addition, lasers are focused and target specific so the require less preparation to protect surrounding tissues. The dental professionals here at Cosmetic Dentistry of Concord will have you wear specifically designed safety eyewear during the procedure.
Some people experience temporary tooth sensitivity during this treatment. These symptoms always disappear within 24 hours. We advise pre and post laser whitening treatment with prescription strength fluoride. Touch up protocols will be discussed and decided upon by your dental professional. |
