Laser Whitening
What Laser Whitening Is
In-office tooth whitening using light-activated gel
Laser whitening is a professional tooth-whitening procedure performed in the clinic using a peroxide-based gel activated by a specialized light source. The process is designed to reduce surface staining and certain internal discolouration in a controlled setting.
Because treatment is carried out chairside, tooth sensitivity, gum response, and shade changes can be monitored throughout the session. This allows adjustments to gel strength or exposure time as needed.
Treatment Process and Considerations
Before whitening begins, teeth and gums are assessed to confirm suitability and identify existing restorations that won’t change colour. Protective measures are used to isolate the gums, and the whitening gel is applied in timed intervals.
Results vary depending on tooth structure, existing stains, and prior dental work. Maintenance and follow-up options may be discussed to help manage shade stability after treatment.
