Protecting teeth against erosion and tooth decay is usually at the forefront of everyone’s daily dental care.

We spend a lot of time carefully brushing, flossing, using mouthwash and keeping regular dental appointments to ensure that our teeth remain strong and healthy, and capable of a lifetime of use. The archetypal image of strong, healthy teeth is a wide, bright, white smile. Teeth whitening is often dismissed as a purely cosmetic procedure, undertaken for aesthetic reasons. But at its heart, it is also a clear indicator of active dental care, that you take care of yourself and how you appear to the world.

Teeth undergo a lot of stress, normally described as everyday wear and tear. The foods and drink we consume do take a certain amount of toll on the strongest healthiest teeth. Simple everyday beverages such as tea and coffee can add a slight stain to healthy teeth. Many people have chosen teeth whitening toothpastes, or bought do-it-yourself home whitening kits and can gradually lighten stained teeth by a one or two shades, but are unlikely to make any significant impact on teeth staining. Professional whitening by a specialist and especially laser teeth whitening is a much more effective way to get the best and safest results quickly.

Modern laser teeth whitening technology uses the most advanced light filtration systems, using high intensity blue light for fast whitening results. Laser whitening can brighten teeth by between 5 and 14 shades, though the average is around 8 shades lighter. Sessions are normally undertaken in a small number of short sessions for the best results. Laser technology is ideal for teeth which have been stained by smoking, or from tea, coffee and wine. It can also whiten teeth which have been discoloured by taking certain medicines, or teeth which have become speckled by fluoride.

Laser teeth whitening provides a natural-looking finish to your smile. And after treatment, that wide white smile can be kept by simply maintaining your daily brushing and flossing routine. A wide white smile lends confidence, and helps people to feel younger and more outgoing.
