Remember that a bright, white smile is not only about appearance; it increases confidence, improves self-esteem and leaves a great first impression! But teeth can become discolored with age, lifestyle habits, food choices or some medical conditions.
For diastema closure, we at Topazdent Dental Care, Delhi, offer a innovative and safe laser teeth whitening treatment, an effective and modern solution to reach the natural whiteness of your teeth. It is done by Dr. Pulkit Jhingan (Specialist and Master of Laser Dentistry from Austria, Europe).
Understanding Teeth Discoloration
Before we get into the specifics of laser teeth whitening, it helps to know why teeth get stained over time. Tooth staining can be broadly categorized into:s
- Extrinsic Stains (Surface Impacts)
These stains can form on the surface layer of enamel, which results from several external influences:
• Smoking and tobacco use
• Consumption of coffee, tea, wine, or carbonated drinks often
• Poor oral hygiene
- Intrinsic Stains (Deep Stains)
These happen inside the structure of the tooth, and are less easily removed. Causes include:
• Age (as enamel wears away, dentin becomes visible)
• Fluorosis from too much fluoride exposure
• Some medicines, for example tetracycline antibiotics
• Genetic factors
- Age-Related Stains
As we get older, the enamel wears down, allowing the underlying yellow dentin to be seen, resulting in a lackluster, stained smile.
But what is laser teeth whitening exactly?
Laser teeth whitening is a modern dental treatment that utilizes high-frequency laser energy to activate a specially formulated whitening gel placed on the teeth. At a molecular level, the laser boosts the breakdown of stains, resulting in faster and more effective whitening than conventional methods.
Advantages of Laser Teeth Whitening
Laser whitening is better than conventional bleaching or home remedies for several reasons:
✅ Instant Results: Traditional whitening treatments thường cần multiple visits but a laser whitening treatment can provide instant brightness in a single sitting.
✅ Safe & Non-Invasive: The process is done under expert supervision, guaranteeing safety and little agony.
✅ Long-Lasting Results: The effects can remain for years with minimal care and maintenance.
✅ Less Sensitive: Compared to chemical bleaching where post-treatment sensitivity is pretty common, laser treatment has minimal sensitivity after treatment, advising its use in patients with more sensitive teeth.
✅ Even White: Laser evenly whitens all areas of the teeth, eliminating patchy or uneven results.
What is the Process of Laser Teeth Whitening?
Here at Topazdent Dental Care, we use a standardized and customized approach to perform laser teeth whitening:
Step 1: Consultation & Shade Analysis
• We perform an in-depth oral assessment to assess the type and severity of stains.
• Recording of the tooth shade of the patient with the help of shade guide for realistic expectations.
Step 2: Clean the Teeth
• Professional scaling and polishing are performed once plaque or tartar has naturally built up on teeth before whitening for the best results
Step 3: Gum Protection
• A gel or rubber barrier is used to protect the gum tissue from irritation.
Step 4: Applying Whitening Gel
• We apply either a hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide whitening gel to the surface of the teeth.
Step 5: Laser Activation
• This method utilizes a high-intensity dental laser that activates the whitening gel to reduce stains and speed up the bleaching process.
Step 6: Rinse and last shade check
• Gel removed, final shade taken, compare to initial, 4-8 shades visibly whiter.
Step 7: Post-Care Treatment Recommendations
• Patients receive instructions on how to keep the new white smile for the long-term following dietary instructions and oral care ordel guidelines.
Is Laser Teeth Whitening Right for You?
Laser teeth whitening is appropriate for the majority of people, but especially beneficial for:
✔️ Those who have yellow or brown stains from food, drink or smoking.
✔️ People who need instant whitening for special occasions (wedding, interview, photoshoot).
✔️ People with mild to moderate intrinsic stains.
✔️ People with good overall dental health (no active cavities or gum disease).
How long does laser teeth whitening last?
How Long Do Results Last After Laser Teeth Whitening? Results last several months and even years depending on diet and oral hygiene. With appropriate maintenance, results last on average 1-3 years. Here’s how to keep your smile white:
• Steer clear of stain-clinging foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored berries.
• Quit smoking and tobacco products, which can rapidly discolor teeth.
• Drink colored drinks through a straw to limit contact with teeth.
• Brush twice a day and floss regularly to avoid new stains.
• Keep your smile bright with whitening toothpaste.
• Book regular maintenance appointments with Topazdent Dental Care for longer-lasting results.
