Brightening a Smile with Laser Treatment
A visit to the dentist has never
been so inviting with the latest technology for professional teeth whitening.
Often, the foods we eat and our daily habits can discolour a person’s teeth
over time. That, in addition to a genetic disposition for naturally dull
looking teeth. Discoloured teeth can also point to an underlying tissue
infection requiring treatment. Fortunately, Orangeville residents have access
to a group of dental professionals who offer a teeth whitening laser treatment.
There are many reasons why a
person’s teeth may become discoloured. Some causes of tooth discolouration
include:
- Drinking beverages such as tea, coffee and red
wine
- Using select mouth rinses
- Taking prescription drugs such as tetracycline
- Aging
- Genetic disposition
- Fluorosis, (overexposure to fluoride in the
first eight years of development)
Pain-Free and Hassle-Free!
There is no reason a person should
be self-conscious of their smile with this new teeth whitening technology! It
has never been so easy to treat discoloured teeth with this comfortable
and pain-free approach to whitening. Orangeville patients need not feel
anxious about teeth whitening. The laser therapy now available to Orangeville
patients uses Ezlaze which, not only achieves dramatic teeth whitening results,
but also helps to treat existing infections in the soft tissue and gums. In
applicable cases, the Ezlaze can remove soft tissue lumps in a quick and
pain-free manner!
Traditionally, dental professionals
use a bleaching technique. The active ingredient in this procedure is hydrogen
peroxide or carbamide peroxide. Using either of these ingredients, the enamel
on the tooth is made lighter in colour by a chemical reaction over time. The
dental team uses a tray that is made to fit your mouth for the whitening
process and a shield to protect your gums from damage. Multiple visits are
required for this traditional approach to teeth whitening and it can take up to
four weeks for the full treatment. While bleaching has been the go-to option
for teeth whitening, the procedure usually delivers 90% effective rate.
Light Years Ahead
However, Orangeville practitioners
now use this unique laser designed specifically for the dental profession. It
has the ability to whiten the teeth without
causing any discomfort thanks to a unique wavelength of 940 nm developed
specifically for the dental industry. The wavelength of this laser is absorbed
more effectively into the bloodstream, so it cuts tissue effectively at a low
amount of power and uses less heat to do so. This unit also offers the dental
practitioner optimum precision for cutting soft tissue, without causing
discomfort. It’s not only used for teeth whitening procedures, but different oral
procedures. This specific feature of the unit reduces the amount of time the
laser is cutting tissue. Only a topical anesthetic is required for patients as
a result. This is an added benefit for the patient!
Teeth
whitening now looks brighter for Orangeville patients who have had some
reservation about a painful and uncomfortable procedure. By using a dental
practitioner who specializes in laser treatments, you can enjoy the esthetics
of teeth whitening and the benefit of healthy oral care using the Ezlaze
system.
