Today, more than ever, everyone wants a nice vibrant smile. There is something special about having a bright smile and people comment on such white smiles. Watching movie stars in film and favorite musical talent and you instantly notice they have very white smiles. Well it's a virtual guarantee they have their teeth professionally cleaned on a regular basis.

My family dentist in Scarborough offers both of these services, and I had to choose between them recently.

 

Laser Teeth Cleaning

In-office teeth whitening systems today consist of an hour-long laser treatment that can brighten a smile and get rid of unattractive stains such as coffee, cigarettes, and wine from teeth instantly. The laser treatment is quite awesome and once was only accessible to the very rich, but the prices are becoming more economical so that the public can also enjoy a white smile. One of the many benefits of the laser teeth whitening system is there is no discomfort. Since many people associate soreness with the dentist, this treatment does not cause pain and is a easy process. A very nice benefit to the laser whitening is it is normally a one-time treatment.

Now before the laser cleaning begins, your teeth will have to be cleaned physically by the hygienist first so as to make way for the laser instrument. This isn't a full dental cleaning, but instead is designed to quickly remove obvious plaque and tartar build-up so the laser can get to your actual surface. Oh and also, if you have teeth that may feel overly sensitive at time (when apples etc.) laser is probably the best choice for you since there is no physical contact.

Bleach Cleaning Your Teeth

Many dentists use the bleach whitening system. First, the patient's teeth undergo a thorough cleaning as regular and then polished and then each tooth is covered with whitening solution. The only area of the teeth this is applied to is the front part of the teeth and usually is composed of carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide. Based upon on the bleaching agent used, it may require a specific light, which is the curing light and remains on the teeth for about sixty minutes. When the correct shade of white is produced, the teeth are rinsed and typically a fluoride treatment is then applied.

Whether you choose laser or chemical application, the point is to have a better smile. Both will do such, so you may simply want to compare prices and your Scarborough dental office and their comfort level with either treatment.

No one likes discolored or yellowing teeth and nothing can whiten your smile like a trip to your family dentist. Your dentist can provide you with the whitest smile and the pricing is much more cost-effective than it once was. Having teeth professionally whitened in a dentist's office is a sure way to acquire the bright smile you seek. It is true that there are home whitening kits, but these are not as powerful and consequently do not produce the results that you will get in a dentist's office.
