More and more people are opting to get their teeth whitened as they feel that it increases their confidence and make them look younger as well. There are three main ways that teeth can be whitened – toothpastes with hydrogen peroxide, bleaching kits, and laser teeth whitening.
The newest method of laser teeth whitening in Toronto is usually done in a dentist’s office. The process involves applying a hydrogen peroxide solution onto a patient’s teeth and then subject to laser lights, which help to speed up the whitening process. This can take anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes and is believed to lighten teeth up to 10 shades.
This technique is like all the other targeted stains that are caused by food and drinks like coffee and colas on enamel. Toothpastes are not very effective at lightening teeth as they work on the surface and have to be used for a long time for results to be obvious. Toothpastes stop teeth from being stained further and hydrogen peroxide bleaches them.
Stains on teeth can happen for a number of reasons like illness, eating foods that can stain teeth and medications as well. Researchers are always looking for new methods to help people get cleaner, whiter teeth and laser teeth whitening in Toronto is one of the newest and most effective. Results are not permanent and expected to last 6 – 8 months.
This is a safe procedure and suitable for most people. Those who have fillings should get an opinion from their dentist about whether they can get laser teeth whitening done. Laser whitening procedures are not cheap and since they are cosmetic in nature, they are not covered by insurance. Not every dental office is set up for this procedure, so look for a dentist who has the equipment and the experience to do so.
