If you thought lasers were only for those tiny pointers that annoy pets and teachers, then you would be mistaken. Sure they have military, scientific and medical applications, but who can forget that tooth bleaching relies on these tiny concentrated beams of light? Laser teeth whitening has become very popular in recent years, as a way to rid yourself of unsightly tooth discoloration. This whitening treatment has become very affordable and may only take one office visit to see a noticeable difference in shade.
Laser teeth whitening works by focusing a laser light on a specific bleaching gel that is applied directly to the surface of the teeth. The light speeds the bleaching process and helps the whitening gel permeate the enamel. Discoloration of the teeth is a process that takes years, until the natural whiteness of the teeth is greatly diminished. It may have taken years of drinking coffee to turn those teeth an ugly color, but usually one office visit can yield a brighter smile that is noticeably whiter.
Obviously the pro’s of professional teeth whitening is that your smile, now whiter and brighter, will give you a more youthful appearance. The con’s range from an allergic reaction to the bleaching gel, to the cost. The procedure can cost well over $1000 and can take more than one visit to yield the desired results. Also, dental condition plays a tremendous factor in whether or not the procedure will work for you. Extensive damage or discoloration may only be corrected through dental veneers or crowns.
Something many people consider a plus, but may actually be a minus where you are concerned, is how obvious the results will be. Some people are uncomfortable with other people knowing they have had “work” done and do not want to seem vain. There is nothing wrong with wanting a brighter smile and to look younger. If you do not want a dramatic change you may want to consider a home tooth whitening kit that will gradually lighten the color of your teeth.
Laser teeth whitening procedures work and are well worth the money. No, your insurance may not pay for the procedure and it may be a little uncomfortable, but you will have a great smile very quickly. Whiter teeth diminish the appearance of wrinkles so consider that an added bonus. People will notice your bright smile instead of those tiny lines. All in all, the pluses outweigh the minuses.
