THE LASER TEETH WHITENING PROCESS

Professional, laser teeth whitening is a cosmetic dentistry treatment provided at Hygge Laser Dentistry in Seattle, WA that provides patients with proven, dramatic results. For professional, in-office teeth whitening, Dr. Gordon applies a whitening gel to the teeth and then shines a laser directly onto the teeth. The laser activates the gel, resulting in the whitening process. This process is repeated multiple times until the desired results are achieved.

BENEFITS OF LASER TEETH WHITENING

Laser teeth whitening in Seattle provides patients with the benefit of a brighter smile almost immediately. As opposed to at-home whitening kits and products, in-office laser teeth whitening only takes about 30 minutes to an hour to achieve the desired shade. 

​

In addition to the effectiveness of laser whitening, safety is another benefit of laser teeth whitening at the dentist's office. Over-the-counter and even professional at-home kids, when used improperly, present a number of risks and side effects that are preventable with professional whitening treatments. Risks include:

​

• Tooth Sensitivity

• Gum damage and irritation

• Dentin hypersensitivity

• Enamel erosion

• Uneven whitening

• Discomfort and pain

TIPS FOR MAINTAINING YOUR BRIGHTER SMILE

You can prolong your teeth whitening results for several months or years with the right oral hygiene practices. We recommend implementing a solid oral hygiene routine, including brushing twice daily and flossing consistently. You should also avoid habits that can cause stubborn stains to resurface, like drinking coffee without a straw and smoking. Lastly, visit your dentist in Ballard at Hygge Laser Dentistry every six months for a checkup and cleaning as well as for touch-up treatments as needed.
