Everyone wants a brighter smile.  Teeth can become discolored by many factors including age, stains from eating and drinking, and smoking.  Presently there are several options to consider when whitening your teeth.  Laser teeth whitening is one of the easiest and quickest ways to obtain a more beautiful smile.

Laser teeth whitening involves an in-office treatment that begins with a teeth cleaning.  A peroxide based gel is then applied to the teeth and activated by a special laser light, which causes the bleaching agent to lighten the enamel and dentin with an oxidation process.  The procedure lasts roughly and hour to an hour and a half.  Depending on the desired level of whitening and the intensity of the stain, laser teeth whitening can be completed in as little as one appointment.

The results of laser teeth whitening on average last one to three years before any darkening begins; however, if you take care of your teeth and are not a smoker, the results can last for years longer.  The cost of laser teeth whitening varies depending on the amount of treatment needed, but the average cost ranges from $300 to $2,000.
