Brighten your teeth. Smile with confidence.
About Laser Teeth Whitening
Even those with healthy, cavity-free teeth have a certain extra appeal to a whiter, brighter smile. In fact, teeth whitening is one of the most requested cosmetic dentistry procedures with nearly 90% of patients requesting teeth whitening treatments, according to the American Association of Orthodontists.
Why is teeth whitening so popular? Not only because a whiter smile is a more attractive smile but because of the prevalence of stain-inducing conditions and lifestyle choices. Drinking coffee or wine, smoking cigarettes, taking certain medications, or merely getting older can cause our teeth to stain over time. Fortunately, laser teeth whitening can reverse these effects and help your pearly whites sparkle and shine like never before!
What is laser teeth whitening?
THE LASER TEETH WHITENING PROCESS
Professional, laser teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry treatment provided at Hygge Laser Dentistry in Seattle, WA that provides patients with proven, dramatic results. For professional, in-office teeth whitening, Dr. Gordon applies a whitening gel to the teeth and then shines a laser directly onto the teeth. The laser activates the gel, resulting in the whitening process. This process is repeated multiple times until the desired results are achieved.
BENEFITS OF LASER TEETH WHITENING
Laser teeth whitening in Seattle provides patients with the benefit of a brighter smile almost immediately. As opposed to at-home whitening kits and products, in-office laser teeth whitening only takes about 30 minutes to an hour to achieve the desired shade.
In addition to the effectiveness of laser whitening, safety is another benefit of laser teeth whitening at the dentist's office. Over-the-counter and even professional at-home kids, when used improperly, present a number of risks and side effects that are preventable with professional whitening treatments. Some of the risks associated with at-home teeth whitening treatments and products include:
-
Tooth Sensitivity
-
Gum damage and irritation
-
Dentin hypersensitivity
-
Enamel erosion
-
Uneven whitening
-
Discomfort and pain
Patients can avoid the risks and inconvenience of at-home teeth whitening treatments by choosing laser teeth whitening at Hygge Laser Dentistry. Call our office with any questions or book an appointment today to enjoy a brighter, whiter smile in no time.
TIPS FOR MAINTAINING YOUR BRIGHTER SMILE
You can prolong your teeth whitening results for several months or years with the right oral hygiene practices. We recommend implementing a solid oral hygiene routine, including brushing twice daily and flossing consistently. You should also avoid habits that can cause stubborn stains to resurface, like drinking coffee without a straw and smoking. Lastly, visit your dentist in Ballard at Hygge Laser Dentistry every six months for a checkup and cleaning as well as for touch-up treatments as needed.
