It is not painful (aside from sensitivity, in some cases, which can last 24 hours) and will not harm your teeth or gums. Nearly everybody with good general and dental health is suitable for teeth whitening. Everyone wants beautiful white teeth and laser whitening can lighten teeth between five to twelve shades. The effect of the treatment lasts for up to three years, depending on your lifestyle, and the cost of the treatment includes a take home kit worth £55 to enable you to get your teeth to their optimum level of whiteness and maintain your new whiter smile. Treatment begins with a medical and consent form being filled out. If both the clinician and the client are happy to go ahead the process can begin. This involves applying a barrier to the gums to protect them before applying 3-4 applications of whitening gel. Each application is ‘lasered’ for ten minutes before being suctioned off and the next being applied. (Please be aware this is not a laser, it is a blue light, and is used to speed up the whitening process). The whole treatment takes roughly an hour.
