LASER TEETH WHITENING

Over time, teeth can become stained or discoloured by certain foods and beverages, tobacco products, or simply the natural aging process. Brightening the shade of your teeth can be one of the fastest ways to significantly improve the appearance of your smile and boost your confidence. Teeth whitening can lighten the colour of your teeth up to eight shades with just one treatment. 

The LED teeth whitening treatment at our clinic begins with a thorough clean of your teeth, followed by an application of a special gel, usually hydrogen peroxide based (though sometimes carbamide peroxide gel is used as well). A mouthpiece is then inserted and the gel is applied onto the surface of the teeth. This whitening gel will provide better results than the teeth bleaching products available over-the-counter, as it contains a stronger bleaching agent. After the whitening gel has been applied, your cosmetic consultant will use a patented Cool Light system to activate the photo receptors. This facilitates better gel penetration through the teeth enamel.

The longevity of your teeth whitening results depends on how you care for your teeth after treatment. To keep teeth white and bright it is important to avoid consuming staining beverages and foods when possible. If you do drink coffee, have a glass of red wine, or eat dark berries, you can help prevent stains from forming by rinsing your mouth or brushing soon after consumption. Use of tobacco products is another habit that can create tooth discoloration, so you may want to consider quitting, cutting back, or using non-staining nicotine-based products instead. Also, make sure to keep up with your dental hygiene and professional cleanings.

The treatment is unfortunately not for everyone, simply because of the use of high-powered bleaching agents. Haus Of Beauty won’t perform LED teeth whitening on people who:

• Are pregnant or are nursing newborns
• Are under the age of 16
• Wear braces or have had braces removed in the last six months
• Are allergic to peroxides
• Have decaying teeth or exposed roots / nerve endings
• Have recently had oral surgery

If you are unsure as to whether or not you would be eligible for professional LED teeth whitening laser treatment, our experts can assess you in a cosmetic consultation or you can consult with your dentist or oral surgeon.
