Laser Teeth Whitening System: LaserSmile™ Demystified
It pays to learn about the different kinds of laser teeth whitening systems and one that really stands out is the LaserSmile™ system that is manufactured by a company called Biolase technology, Inc. this company is also well known in dental circles as being the company that manufactures Waterlase® dental lasers though its LaserSmile™ laser teeth whitening system actually makes use of LaserSmileT diode lasers and not Waterlase™.
Precise Laser Beams
When using the laser teeth whitening system called LaserSmile use is made of a hydrogen peroxide bleaching gel which contains about thirty-seven percent hydrogen peroxide and which has a pH of approximately seven. As mentioned, LaserSmile™ uses the LaserSmileT diode laser which in turn provides very precise laser beams with emissions in the region of between 798 and 815nm that is in fact an infrared red range. The end result is that with a laser teeth whitening system such as LaserSmile™ that uses the LaserSmileT laser diodes you will get vastly improved and more efficient whitening.
Because LaserSmileT laser diodes are part of the infrared range there is reason to worry on account of the lasers causing unnecessary heat. However, the truth of the fact is that while using these laser beams during the teeth whitening procedure there is less heating because the lasers are only applied to a few teeth at any given time and then only very briefly – lasting not more than fifteen seconds at a go. In fact, the entire teeth whitening procedure that lasts for approximately twenty-five minutes means that each tooth is only exposed to the laser beams for between two and four minutes.
Another aspect to using LaserSmile™ laser teeth whitening system is its costs. Because the cost to the dentist for such a laser teeth whitening system is very high (approximately twenty thousand dollars and more) you won’t get cheap treatment. Whether or not you choose to try this laser teeth whitening system depends on a number of factors including whether other laser teeth whitening systems can provide comparable results. Though a deciding factor could be the less time taken to complete this treatment which if you chose another system would require enduring at least an hour’s of treatment. LaserSmile™ can be completed in about twenty-five minutes.
Another good laser teeth whitening procedure that deserves a second look, laser bleaching (in office) provides a notable advantage in that it only (normally) takes a single sitting to get the desired results. However, cost can prove to be a downside as you may have to spend one thousand dollars for the works.
