LED Teeth Whitening
Creating your dream smile
What it is
LED teeth whitening is a non-invasive procedure that uses LED light to activate a whitening gel applied to the teeth. The process begins with the application of a gel containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to the teeth. The LED light accelerates the whitening process by breaking down the gel more quickly, allowing oxygen to penetrate the enamel and dentin to bleach discoloured substances. The treatment typically takes about 20 to 60 minutes, and you can expect your teeth to become 6-8 shades whiter.
Who it’s for
LED teeth whitening is suitable for individuals looking to brighten their smile and remove stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, smoking, and certain foods. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a quick and effective way to enhance their appearance for special occasions like weddings or anniversaries. This treatment is safe for most people, but it is recommended to consult with a dentist if you have sensitive teeth or gum disease.
The science behind it
LED teeth whitening involves the use of a specialised light to accelerate the effects of a whitening gel, typically containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. When the LED light is applied, it activates the gel, triggering a chemical reaction that releases oxygen molecules. These molecules penetrate the enamel and dentin of the teeth, breaking down stains and discolouration. The LED light enhances this process, speeding up the whitening effect and providing more noticeable results in a shorter amount of time.
Preparation
Before a teeth whitening treatment, consider these steps:
- Consult with your dentist: Ensure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for the whitening procedure.
- Schedule a cleaning: A professional dental cleaning can remove plaque and tartar for better results.
- Brush and floss: Make sure your teeth are clean before the procedure.
- Take note of any sensitivity or allergies: Inform your provider if you have sensitive teeth or any allergies so they can adjust the treatment accordingly.
Aftercare
Post-treatment, avoid foods and drinks that can stain your teeth, such as coffee, tea, red wine, dark sauces, and tobacco, for at least 48 hours. Also, avoid very hot or cold foods and beverages, as they may trigger tooth sensitivity. Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly, and schedule touch-up treatments to preserve your results.
