A sparkling white smile not only radiates or boosts confidence, makes you feel wonderful inside and out, but it is also essential in building excellent interactions both in your social and business life.
And what better way to do all that than to avail of the most effective and immediate system there is in the dental world today - The Laser Whitening Way!
First and foremost, let’s tackle on the factors of why our teeth develop such discoloration to better understand the very reasons why we need the Laser Whitening Treatment and/or Professional Home Bleaching Treatment.
• AGE - As we get older, our teeth discolour; this is due to wearing of the enamel that eventually shows more dentin that has a yellowish hue. Wouldn’t it be awesome our teeth whiten like our hair as we age? So much for our attempt at humour, admit it or not, a white sparkling smile can take off years from our faces.
• POOR ORAL HABITS - Improper brushing could lead to decay and in general, affect our oral health most negatively, and discoloration is one side effect.
• FOOD AND DRINKS - Who doesn’t love coffee, or tea? We all do. Sadly, they also contribute greatly to teeth discoloration and most of the time, brushing simply isn’t just enough to get rid of the stains brought by our caffeine. How about the food that we eat? Those colourful fruits and the spices that wet our appetites are main sources of teeth stains as well.
• TOBACCO AND CIGARETTE SMOKING - Another culprit in the discoloration department. If you couldn’t give this up, and are worried about the stains, there is good oral prophylaxis and whitening treatment to revert back to your white smile.
Now there is a better chance to revert teeth's discoloration. Stains brought about by smoking, caffeine, and teeth staining food and beverages. Other factors that may lead to teeth's discoloration are trauma, dental treatment, and medication, restoration such as amalgam and old fillings, and aging. Check this very informative video below.

There are two ways to bring back your sparkling white teeth, the active and the passive method.
What can we expect before, during, and after the treatment? Before the treatment, the dentist, or oral hygienist will examine your teeth, and discuss with you the procedure involve. It would also prove beneficial to ask questions or air your apprehensions or any issues you may have before treatment is commenced. When fully satisfied, your teeth are prepared for the whitening treatment.
One of the many advantages of this in-house whitening treatment is the immediate result. The full procedure runs about a little less than an hour. The results may vary depending on the quantum of discoloration, but most assuredly, within the 3 -8 shades difference from your tooth color prior to the procedure. With proper oral care, the results may last from 6 months to 3 years.
Another method to teeth whitening is the passive way – Home Bleaching treatment. More inexpensive than the in-office treatment, but take longer to achieve that dazzling smile. The home bleaching kit may be used as an alternative to laser Whitening, or as a follow up program, that is, to maintain your new white smile longer.For this method, an impression of your teeth is taken for custom made trays that you use at home. You may use this kit by yourself several times a week until that desired whiteness is achieved. Although not as convenient as that 1 hour stay on the dentist chair, this method is effective than the over the counter whitening gels and toothpastes that proliferate the market today.
