Professional teeth whitening, also known as laser teeth whitening, is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves the use of hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide-based whitening gel in combination with a high-strength blue LED light. This dynamic duo works together to oxidize the whitening gel and accelerate the breakdown of stubborn stains on your teeth, resulting in a dazzling, white 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. We recommend staying hydrated before your appointment, and we will apply Vitamin E oil to your gums and lips, as hydration also plays a big role in minimizing sensitivity.
During the treatment, a purple LED light is directed at your teeth in 20-minute intervals, with whitening gel reapplied between rounds. This specialized light combines blue LED for whitening and red light therapy for reducing inflammation, promoting healthy gums, and minimizing sensitivity. By accelerating the reaction between the hydrogen peroxide and the stains, our treatment penetrates layers deep into your teeth, effectively removing discoloration and leaving you with your naturally brightest smile yet.
We will take before and after pictures as well as compare your teeth to our tooth shade guide, so you can see and 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 and advanced techniques and technology to ensure optimal, lasting results with minimal discomfort or downtime for our clients.
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.
