Laser Tooth Whitening

Laser tooth whitening in Los Angeles is a great way to professionally brighten your smile. As you know from walking down the dental care aisle of your local drug store or supermarket, there are more teeth whitening choices in California than ever before, including whitening toothpaste, whitening trays, whitening gels, and even whitening breath mints. While you have many choices, the fact is that most of these products don't work very well and will leave you disappointed in their results. In addition, many people with sensitive teeth and gums will find these treatments too harsh.

As a Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, I perform laser tooth whitening in my office. The procedure is an excellent choice for people whose teeth are stained from years of smoking, or drinking coffee, red wine, and cola. Treatment time varies, but most patients are finished in just about an hour and can enjoy their dazzling smile immediately.

Count on Beverly Hills dentist Dr. Alex A. Farnoosh to give you the bright, dazzling smile you've always wanted with Los Angeles laser teeth whitening. Leave behind the trays, gels, and broken promises of over-the-counter whitening products. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Farnoosh, or call 310.657.0503 to set up a consultation today.

Whitening from a Los Angeles Dentist

Thousands of Angelenos have sensitive teeth, which make many tooth whitening treatments that contain bleach and other harsh chemicals too uncomfortable. For these patients, I find that professional laser tooth whitening, which causes almost no discomfort for even the most sensitive individuals, is a great option for a brighter smile. Another great candidate is a busy professional who doesn't have the time to bother with other whitening products that take weeks to work. The laser tooth whitening process is usually accomplished in a single visit, producing instantaneous results.

Laser Tooth Whitening Benefits

My patients enjoy many advantages after this procedure:

• Laser teeth whitening can give you a whiter, brighter smile with healthier looking teeth.
• You will see almost instantaneous results after the treatment.
• The treatment causes very little discomfort even for those patients with the most sensitive teeth and gums.j
• Laser teeth whitening is a less expensive alternative to porcelain restorations.

Your Beverly Hills Laser Tooth Whitening Procedure

I begin your treatment with a minor cleaning and removal of any plaque along the gum line. After your teeth have been thoroughly cleaned, I apply a professional-strength gel to your teeth that increases the whitening effect of the laser. Next, I focus a special light beam on your smile, which takes about an hour to achieve the full whitening effect. After the treatment, your teeth may be as many as 10 shades brighter than their original color.

Risks and Recovery

Several studies and years of clinical experience have demonstrated the safety of laser teeth whitening. The laser does not heat the tooth. Some of my patients with very sensitive teeth experience minor discomfort, which generally resolves a few hours after the treatment. The laser can remove stains on crowns, caps, and veneers, but it will not lighten the original color of these artificial teeth.

My patients leave the office with a brighter, more dazzling smile.While your teeth may fade slightly a few days after your procedure, your results may last between six months and a year. I recommend that my patients schedule laser whitening touch-ups about every six to nine months.
