Laser teeth whitening procedures

As mentioned earlier in this article, laser teeth whitening must be performed exclusively in a dentist’s office. Regarding the procedure, it usually takes anywhere between 30 minutes to 1 hour.

‍

So here are the usual procedures for the laser teeth whitening treatment:

The dentist will start off by putting a plastic prop in your mouth to keep it open during the treatment. After that, you’ll wear protective glasses and place a gum barrier to protect your eyes and gum.

‍

Once the safety measures are in place, your dentist will apply the bleaching gel to the targeted teeth. After a few minutes, the dentist will direct the laser onto the teeth.

‍

The laser's function is to heat the bleaching gel and activate its whitening effects.

‍

In the final step, your dentist will remove the gum barrier and protective glasses, and cleanse away the bleaching gel.
