Blue Light Teeth Whitening Process

The blue light teeth whitening process is very much like the laser teeth whitening where the dentist first starts the procedure with documenting the "before" status. He checks the color shade of your teeth and sometimes even takes a picture for you to compare it to the results when the procedure is done. The dentist then continues by applying a protective material on to your gums to prevent the bleaching material from hurting the soft tissue.

The doctor then applies hydrogen peroxide gel(a bleaching chemical) onto the teeth. This bleaching gel is then activated by using the blue light. The light penetrates to the dentoid part of each tooth and deoxidizes it, which performs a bleaching action that lightens the color of the tooth.

This process is repeated a second shorter time a few minutes after the first is completed. In some cases the doctor will cover the teeth with a fluoride gel to protect the enamel after the procedure is completed. Typically the entire process from start to finish will take 60 minutes, depending on the dentist and patient.

At the end of the whole procedure the dentists will compare the final results with the initial color shade - and you will notice the difference!!

Blue light whitening is a very effective whitening procedure giving noticeable results : typical results for this procedure is a change of 6-8 shades to a lighter white after 1 treatment only! As a comparison - Whitening toothpastes give a 1-2 shade color change after 4 weeks!
