- Pre-treatment Preparation: Before your laser teeth whitening session, it’s recommended (though not essential) to floss and brush your teeth. For even better results, consider visiting your dental hygienist beforehand to ensure your teeth are free from plaque and surface stains. This step can enhance the effectiveness of the whitening process by providing a clean surface for the whitening agents to work on.
- Welcome and Instruction: Upon arrival for your whitening session, our experienced whitening professional will guide you through the self-administered procedure. You’ll receive detailed instructions and explanations to ensure you’re comfortable and confident throughout the process.
- Surface Preparation: Next, you’ll be asked to brush the front of your teeth for approximately two minutes using a specialized scrub. This scrub is carefully formulated to remove superficial stains and open the pores on the tooth enamel, allowing the whitening agents to penetrate more effectively.
- Application of Whitening Gel: Once your teeth are prepared, a non-peroxide whitening gel is applied to the front surface of a soft silicone gum tray. This gel contains ingredients such as carbomer, potassium citrate, propylene glycol, and hydroxyapatite, which work together to break down stains and lighten the colour of the teeth.
- Laser Activation: The key step in the laser teeth whitening process involves the use of a photocatalytic LED laser. This specialized laser is directed at the teeth, activating the whitening gel and accelerating the whitening process. The laser energy helps to penetrate the enamel, targeting deep-seated stains and discoloration for an instant, noticeably whiter and brighter smile. You will sit and relax under the laser for of 15 minutes at a time. This is then repeated a further 2 times with fresh gel applied every 15 minutes to create a total of 45 minutes under the laser.
- Optional Multiple Sessions: Depending on the severity of discoloration and your desired level of whitening, multiple whitening sessions may be recommended. Our whitening professionals will assess your progress and advise on the optimal number of sessions needed to achieve your desired results safely and effectively.
*each person has a natural stop point – meaning your teeth will never go whiter than what you are born with. - Post-treatment Evaluation: Once your desired level of whitening is achieved, we will conduct a thorough evaluation of the results.
