Laser teeth whitening

Teeth whitening is one of the most commonly performed treatments in dental offices.

Compared to other procedures, laser teeth whitening is shorter, making it an ideal treatment even during your lunch break.

Tooth sensitivity after treatment is not as pronounced, making it a more popular choice compared to other teeth whitening methods. Results are visible immediately after the procedure, with teeth being 4 to 6 shades lighter.

Why do teeth turn yellow, i.e. change color?

There are numerous causes of tooth discoloration. They can be divided into external and internal. External causes of tooth discoloration are most often lifestyle habits such as smoking and drinking coffee and dark beverages.

The internal causes of tooth discoloration are more complex, and may be the result of the deposition of pigments in the tooth structure itself, such as staining from certain antibiotics, genetics, aging or due to the death of the nerve inside the tooth (loss of vitality) and improper treatment.

External stains are easier to treat than internal stains, for which the bleaching process takes longer and varies depending on the cause.

Also, teeth with yellow and brown shades are easier to whiten than teeth with grayish and bluish tones.

Top-notch teeth whitening laser

In our Polyclinic, we use the most modern technology of the diode laser EPIC™ 10, which represents the latest laser innovation, and is the result of 25 years of engineering by the American company Biolase .

Epic is the only diode laser that has three unique modes of operation (therapy): soft tissue surgery, whitening and pain reduction, which ensures a versatile approach to dental treatment, and thus a more pleasant treatment for the client, that is, the patient.

Advantages of laser teeth whitening:

• tooth color change by approximately 4 – 6 shades
• short procedure
• suitable for people with sensitive teeth

Laser teeth whitening is ideal for people who have healthy teeth and would like to have a more beautiful smile.

Since the level of laser light can be controlled and adjusted during the treatment, the treatment is also good for clients with sensitive teeth.

Teeth whitening should not be used on children under 16 years of age and pregnant or breastfeeding women.

In all other age groups it is permitted and often even desirable.

Before treatment, it is necessary to tell the dentist if you have extremely sensitive teeth, so that they can assess whether you are a suitable person for the treatment.

Before laser teeth whitening, the dental doctors at the Bagatin Polyclinic will examine your teeth and supporting tissues and, if necessary, clean the tartar and polish your teeth.

Then, they will protect the mucous membrane and gums, after which a hydrogen peroxide-based gel is applied to the teeth.

The laser light beam potentiates the release of oxygen from the gel, which breaks down pigment molecules in the tooth, leaving the tooth structure unchanged.

The treatment itself takes a short time, and the effects of teeth whitening can last up to three years. However, this varies from person to person and depends largely on lifestyle habits.

In some cases, teeth become temporarily sensitive to cold during and after treatment.

Sometimes discomfort and white spots appear on the gums.

Also, tingling may occur immediately after treatment.

These symptoms are usually temporary and disappear within a few days after the treatment is completed. After the treatment, a gel can be applied to the teeth to reduce discomfort.

In cooperation with banks, Bagatin Polyclinic provides the option of paying in installments, as well as interest-free payments up to a certain number of installments.
