Laser Teeth Whitening is a procedure
carried out to solve the problem of teeth discoloration or yellow teeth. It is
a highly effective process due to its minimally invasive nature, whereby it
treats the affected parts of the teeth without affecting the surrounding areas.
This procedure cannot be performed by people in their homes, and is exclusively
performed in a dental office. Manipal Hospitals one of the best dental hospitals in Bangalore and a renowned center for laser teeth whitening at HAL Airport Road and the surrounding areas. It is equipped with the required facilities
and skilled manpower to perform this procedure flawlessly.
How does laser teeth whitening work? There are a series of steps in this
procedure:
· Screening: The dentist checks if the root of the teeth are exposed due to
receding of the gums. If they are, other alternatives are recommended as the
root of the teeth are resistant to the bleach and hence may result in an uneven
bleaching.
· Cleaning and Filling: Next, the dentist cleans the teeth thoroughly
and ensures any cavities, if present, are treated and filled in order to
prevent the whitening solution from penetrating to the interior of the teeth. Also, a non-steroid, anti-inflammation
medication is also given before the first whitening session.
· Whitening: Before the procedure begins, a rubber dam is placed inside the
patient’s mouth so that their gums are protected. Next, a layer of strong
bleaching gel is applied to their teeth. This bleach is a hydrogen peroxide gel
with normal pH levels and concentration of about 25 to 40 percent. The dentist
then uses a hand-held laser to activate this compound. As a result, it develops
foam and removes the stains on the teeth. After all of the teeth are whitened
by the laser, the bleach is allowed to remain for a few minutes before it is
wiped out using a vacuuming equipment. This process is then repeated for up to
three times to give the best possible result. At the end of the whitening
session, the protective covering over the gums is removed.
There are many benefits of laser teeth
whitening. The entire process takes
about an hour before any visible improvements are seen. As compared to other
methods such as whitening strips or special toothpastes which only remove
superficial or surface stains, this process penetrates deep to remove the
stains at their core. It is a non-invasive procedure with no after-effects,
i.e. it does not damage the enamel. It also lasts longer than other treatment
options, though of course, the longevity of this whitening effect depends on
good oral hygienic practices.
