Laser Teeth Whitening: Get a Brighter Smile in 60 Minutes

What is Laser Teeth Whitening?

Laser teeth whitening (also called power whitening) is an advanced cosmetic treatment that uses specialized light technology and professional-grade whitening gel to remove stains and brighten your teeth. Unlike over-the-counter strips or trays that take weeks, laser teeth whitening delivers dramatic results in a single appointment.

At our Peterborough clinic, we use cutting-edge laser technology combined with safe, effective whitening agents to help clients across Cambridgeshire, Huntingdon, and Wisbech achieve their dream smiles.

Why Choose Laser Teeth Whitening?

The Laser Teeth Whitening Process

Here's what to expect during your 60-minute appointment:

Step 1: Consultation & Preparation (10 minutes)

We examine your teeth and discuss your desired shade. Your gums and lips are protected with a special barrier, and we record your current tooth shade to track your progress.

Step 2: Whitening Gel Application (5 minutes)

A professional-strength hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide gel is carefully applied to the surface of your teeth. This gel is much stronger than what's available in over-the-counter products.

Step 3: Laser Activation (30-40 minutes)

A specialized laser light is positioned near your teeth. The light activates the whitening gel, accelerating the bleaching process. This is typically done in 2-3 cycles of 15-20 minutes each, with fresh gel applied between cycles.

Step 4: Final Clean & Protection (5 minutes)

The whitening gel is removed, your teeth are cleaned, and we apply a fluoride treatment to reduce sensitivity. You'll see your new, brighter smile immediately!

Benefits Over Other Whitening Methods

Laser teeth whitening offers significant advantages compared to other whitening options:

Who is a Good Candidate?

Laser teeth whitening is ideal for clients in Cambridgeshire who have:

• ✓ Yellowing or staining from coffee, tea, wine, or smoking
• ✓ Age-related tooth discoloration
• ✓ Natural teeth (not veneers or crowns - these won't whiten)
• ✓ Good overall dental health
• ✓ Realistic expectations about results
• ✓ An upcoming event (wedding, interview, photoshoot)

Note: Laser whitening works best on yellow-toned stains. Gray-toned stains (from certain medications or trauma) may be more resistant. We'll assess your specific situation during consultation.

Maintaining Your Bright Smile

To keep your teeth white and bright for as long as possible:

• 🥤 Avoid staining beverages (coffee, red wine, tea) for 48 hours post-treatment
• 🚭 Quit or reduce smoking and tobacco use
• 🪥 Brush twice daily with whitening toothpaste
• 🦷 Floss daily to prevent staining between teeth
• 🥛 Drink water or use a straw when consuming staining drinks
• 🍎 Eat crunchy fruits and vegetables that naturally clean teeth
• 📅 Schedule touch-up treatments every 12-18 months

Frequently Asked Questions

Will teeth whitening damage my enamel?

No! When performed correctly by trained professionals, laser teeth whitening is safe and doesn't damage tooth enamel. We use clinically proven products and techniques.

Will my teeth be sensitive afterward?

Some clients experience mild sensitivity for 24-48 hours after treatment. We apply fluoride treatment and provide desensitizing gel to minimize discomfort. Most clients report little to no sensitivity.

How white will my teeth get?

Most clients see improvement of 5-8 shades. Results vary based on your starting shade, tooth structure, and the cause of discoloration. During consultation, we'll give you realistic expectations based on your specific teeth.

Can I whiten my teeth if I have crowns or veneers?

Laser whitening only works on natural tooth enamel. Crowns, veneers, and fillings won't change color. If you have visible dental work, we'll discuss options to achieve a harmonious smile.

Is laser whitening safe during pregnancy?

As a precaution, we recommend postponing teeth whitening until after pregnancy and breastfeeding, as there's limited research on the effects of whitening agents during this time.

What's the difference between laser whitening and Zoom whitening?

Both use light-activated technology. Zoom is a specific brand of light-activated whitening, while "laser whitening" is a general term. The principles and results are very similar.
