Teeth Whitening Done Fast Can Be Helpful

So you want your teeth whiter, but you don't have much patience. Forget the "whitening" toothpaste - you've been using one for years and don't see much change. There might be some small changes, but it isn't dramatic enough for you. You've had friends use whitening strips or gels, but frankly, you're not impressed. You want to see some really white teeth, and you want it now!

Getting fast teeth whitening is a job for the professionals. Cosmetic dentists, fully trained, can get your teeth whitening done faster than anyone else or any other system, too. That's their job, and they know how to do it.

What you need, for fast teeth whitening, is to have a laser tooth whitening treatment. Whichever trademarked system you use, whether it is LaserSmile or some other laser treatment, they are all accomplish the same thing. They get your teeth white, and they do it fast!

How it Works

For example, with the LaserSmile Teeth Whitening System, it uses a hydrogen peroxide-based bleaching gel. The gel comes prepackaged for the dentist's convenience, and that expedites the process. The gel is 37% hydrogen peroxide, with a pH of around 7. The fast teeth whitening of LaserSmile system uses a LaserSmileT diode laser as the bleaching light. It is an expensive "gizmo" that the dentist pays big bucks for (more than $20K), but can also be used for other things besides tooth whitening.

The teeth are prepared by protecting the parts of the mouth that would be damaged by the powerful gel and laser. This is done by coating them with a different, comforting gel. Then, the laser is fired up and the fast teeth whitening process can begin! The laser emits a light within the 798 - 815nm range, which is near the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The emissions don't heat up the teeth, as it is just a short burst of exposure (about 15 seconds) at a time, and in all each tooth only gets from 2 to 4 minutes of laser exposure.

How Long It Takes

So, how fast is "fast," you ask? Considering many home treatments take an hour a day (30 minutes in the morning, 30 minutes at night) for several weeks, anything better would be a fast teeth whitening, wouldn't it? An ordinary whitening in a dentist's office would take an hour or so, which is much better.

But often, repeated visits are needed before you reach your full whiteness potential. Laser teeth whitening is fast - faster still than even an ordinary visit to the dentist. A laser teeth whitening only takes about 24 minutes for the teeth whitening, total.

Including the time before and after the treatment, it will be more like an hour at the dentist. When you leave, you will know you have had a fast teeth whitening, and you will absolutely see the difference in the shade of your teeth. Nothing could be faster! You can leave the cosmetic dentist's office smiling, showing off your new white teeth!
