Teeth become stained and discolored from coffee, tea, colored carbonated drinks, red wine, and smoking. There are many New York City teeth whitening systems performed by certified dentists and their staff to produce long lasting and beautiful results.
Teeth are cleaned and plaque is removed before any cleaning procedure is performed. The hydrogen-peroxide based whitening gel is applied to the teeth before the laser or lighting tool is used to activate the whitening. Some procedures require certain tools and others do not require the use of tools at all. Laser whitening is the most expensive method. Crystals in the gel are activated by the laser light to penetrate enamel and cause the whitening effect on the teeth. This method is a favorite of patients with sensitive teeth and is completed in one visit. Britesmile was the first non-laser method available. The whitening gel is combined with another compound before applying to the teeth. This mixture is activated by a gas plasma or LED bleaching light which works on both the upper and lower teeth simultaneously.
We will review the three most popular teeth whitening procedures in New York City next month.
