Ways of Vital Teeth Bleaching / Teeth Whitening

Regular Teeth Whitening: This typically involves the application of a whitening gel containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to the teeth. This gel is applied either directly to the teeth or in custom-made trays that fit over the teeth. Regardless of the technique or product used, the mechanism of action of bleaching agents is based on a complex oxidation process with release of reactive oxygen species, which penetrate through the pores of enamel rods and reach the dentin, breaking down organic molecules and producing lighter and clearer shades .

Laser Teeth Whitening: In laser teeth whitening, a similar whitening gel is applied to the teeth, but instead of relying solely on the chemical reaction for activation, a specialized laser or light is used to enhance the whitening process. The light energy activates the whitening agent in the gel, accelerating the whitening process. 

Laser teeth whitening is a 20 – 30 minutes procedure  that must be carried out in a dental clinic. The process is similar to conventional bleaching, except that a special light is used to speed up the oxidation of oxygen molecules.

How is it done?

1. The dentist gives you protective glasses for your eyes  and places a cheek retractor into your mouth.
2. A protective gel (light-cured resin material)  is applied to the gums to protect them from the bleaching gel.
3. An intensely concentrated peroxide-based whitening gel is then applied directly onto your teeth.
4. After a couple of minutes, a diode  laser is then used to activate the gel.
5. This whole process can be done 2-3 times until the desired shade of the tooth is obtained.

Advantages of laser teeth whitening:

• Laser teeth whitening is incredibly powerful and long lasting
• Whitening sessions are quick—each one takes around 10 – 15 minutes.
• You’ll probably see immediate results that are more dramatic than those of standard  bleaching techniques.
• Medical professionals perform these procedures, so you can be sure they are safe and effective.

Can Laser teeth Whitening Damage Your Teeth?

Laser whitening cannot damage your teeth. Since tooth enamel is hard tissue, the peroxide used in laser whitening solutions does not damage it.

In summary, while both methods aim to whiten teeth by using a similar whitening agent, laser teeth whitening incorporates the use of specialized light or laser to accelerate and enhance the whitening process, potentially providing quicker and more dramatic results compared to regular teeth whitening methods. However, it’s essential to consult with a dental professional to determine which method is most suitable for your specific needs and oral health condition.
