Ever noticed how many actors and celebrities have such white
and shining teeth? Chances are they have used a lser and gel
teeth whitening system to give them that "Hollywood Smile". This
article answers some of the most frequent questions about this
modern, safe and effective cosmetic procedure.

Q: Is it for everyone?

A: Cold Laser and gel teeth whitening gives magical results to
anyone who wants to whiten their teeth. This includes people
with teeth that have been stained by smoking or by substances
like coffee or tea. It also whitens teeth stained by
tetracycline, specked by fluoride or hereditary discoloration.
Pregnant woman or clients under 16 years of age should not
receive the whitening treatment.

Q: How white could my teeth get?

A: Tests show that, after whitening with the laser and gel
system, teeth can move 5 to 14 shades on the cold laser and gel
teeth whitening shade guide. The results depend on how white the
teeth were originally, but the end result will be white, shiny
teeth.

Q: How long will the whitening last?

A: This varies from person to person and depends on your diet,
but the effects should usually last for about 2 years. Periodic
touch-up treatments can be taken for clients that frequently
have coffee or other staining food or drinks or those that use
tobacco products.

Q: Is it safe?

A: Yes. Scientific articles have shown that the active
ingredients in cold laser and gel teeth whitening gel are
effective and safe for cosmetic tooth whitening. The dental
community has used these ingredients for tooth whitening for
years. It does not change or damage the structure of the teeth:
it merely makes them appear whiter and brighter.

Q: How long does the treatment take?

A: In a little over an hour, discoloration that has built up
over years will magically disappear. It takes no longer than the
time it would for you to have a haircut or facial - it's that
simple.

Q: What's the difference between cold laser/gel and other
methods of whitening?

A: Although cold laser and gel teeth whitening uses the same
cold-light power whitening technology seen in professional
dental offices, it has been specially adapted for the cosmetic
beauty industry. Designed with the comfort and safety of the
client in mind, our 60 minute treatment is safer, gentler, and
produces superior results to other teeth whitening options.

Q: Will is whiten my existing crowns or veneers?

A: No, the whitening treatment in general cannot change the
color of porcelain crowns veneers or fillings.

Q: Will it hurt?

A: Most patients experience no pain or sensitivity after the
treatment. A very small percentage of patients may feel some
minor tooth sensitivity, especially if having very cold or hot
foods within a few hours following the treatment. Avoid hot or
cold drinks for the first 24 hours if there is any sensitivity.

Q: What is the difference between cold laser and gel teeth
whitening and whitening treatments from a dentist?

A: The system used is the same technology used in dental
offices for power whitening and the results are comparable. The
cold laser and gel teeth whitening gel system is designed for
safe treatment by aesthetic professionals.
