Professional teeth whitening, or laser teeth whitening, is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to enhance the color and appearance of your smile. The process includes the use of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide-based whitening gel in combination with a high-strength blue LED light. This duo oxidizes the gel and accelerates the breakdown of stubborn stains on teeth, resulting in a whiter smile.
Professional Teeth Whitening vs At-home Whitening
Compared to at-home whitening products like strips or trays, professional treatments are stronger and more effective. At-home products may require consistent use over an extended period of time. Their one-size-fits-all approach can lead to discomfort, gel leakage, and gum irritation, making the whitening process less efficient and more uncomfortable.
Teeth Whitening at Soft Touch Smiles
At Soft Touch Smiles, we pride ourselves on offering a premium teeth whitening experience. We use an all-natural and organic hydrogen peroxide whitening gel, free from harsh chemicals and preservatives. This gentle formula ensures minimal to no sensitivity for our clients. Hydration also plays a big role in minimizing sensitivity. For this reason, we recommend staying hydrated before your appointment and we will apply Vitamin E oil to your gums and lips.
During treatment, a purple LED light targets your teeth for 20-minute intervals, with whitening gel reapplied between rounds. This light combines blue LED for whitening and red light therapy to reduce inflammation, promote healthy gums, and minimize sensitivity. By speeding up the reaction between hydrogen peroxide and stains, our treatment penetrates deep into your teeth, effectively removing discoloration for your brightest smile yet.
We will take before/after pictures and shades, so you can compare the immediate difference in your smile. Most clients see a 3-8 shade difference in their first appointment.
Is Professional Teeth Whitening Safe?
Yes! Professional Teeth Whitening at Soft Touch Smiles is not only safe but also highly effective in removing stains and whitening your smile. We utilize the most gentle techniques and advanced technology to ensure optimal results with minimal discomfort and downtime.
When Would Professional Teeth Whitening Not Work?
Professional teeth whitening is most effective for extrinsic stains caused by food, beverages, and tobacco use. However, it may not effectively lighten intrinsic stains that originate from within the tooth, such as those caused by trauma, certain medications, or excessive fluoride exposure during tooth development. In cases of severe tooth discoloration, professional teeth whitening may not be sufficient to achieve the desired results. Alternative cosmetic dental procedures like veneers or bonding may be more suitable for addressing extensive discoloration or intrinsic staining.
