Full Laser In Clinic Teeth Whitening

How does it work? The main whitening and cleansing ingredient is sodium percarbonate. It goes deep into the pores of the teeth – called the dentin – and oxidises the molecules that make teeth appear yellow, dark and stained.

The gum shield is filled with the gel and inserted into the mouth then the light is directed at the shield. Once the laser light hits the gel, the formula becomes active. This releases oxygen that creates a pressure, which pushes oxygen into the core of the tooth. The oxygen and cleaning agents, combined with the high intensity laser light, turns the tooth’s inner surface from a brown/yellow colour to a white colour, without changing or damaging the structure of the tooth’s enamel.

The gel also contains silicone to help the laser light travel around the entire mouth; a catalyst activator called photo initiator is also added to ensure the oxygen is released as quickly as possible.

Will the process cause pain and sensitivity?

100% pain free

Will it work on me?

Yes! Young or old, male or female, smoker or non-smoker, teeth whitening will work for you. If your teeth and gums are healthy then we guarantee you will enjoy the benefits of the whitening process. It’s clinically impossible for your tooth colour not to change although please note that results vary from person to person; teeth cannot be whitened more than genetically possible

How long does the process take?

The whole process takes 15-30 minutes

What results can I expect?

Everyone is different and tooth colour varies due to body chemistry, genetics, dental health and mineral imbalances. The average shade improvement is 9 shades lighter; some clients achieve 12 shades lighter.

Everyone gets a result.

How long before I can eat or drink

We recommend that you avoid eating or drinking anything for 30 minutes after the whitening treatment. The pores on your teeth are still open so you should avoid any dark coloured foods and beverages (e.g. coffee, tea and red wine) for 24 hours after the whitening. You should also avoid smoking for 24 hours.

What causes discoloration?

Discolouration is caused by stains that penetrate the enamel and stain the dentin. The dentin is also naturally getting darker as we grow older. Regardless of lifestyle, your teeth will darken as you age.

How often can I have this treatment?

Most clients purchase three treatments per year. Or you can have a one off session for special occasions such as holidays, weddings, birthdays etc. or just for general whitening and hygiene.

We recommend using teeth whitening every three-four months
