Laserblekning

Laserblekning is a cosmetic procedure used to lighten the color of teeth. It involves applying a bleaching gel to the tooth surface, which is then activated by a laser. The laser energy helps to accelerate the chemical reaction of the bleaching agent, leading to a faster and often more pronounced whitening effect compared to traditional at-home bleaching methods.

The procedure typically begins with a dental professional cleaning the teeth and applying a protective barrier to the gums to prevent irritation. The bleaching gel is then applied to the enamel. The laser is directed at the gel, and the process is usually repeated several times within a single appointment. Patients may experience some temporary tooth sensitivity following the treatment.

Laserblekning is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified dental professional. However, it is important to have a dental examination prior to the procedure to ensure that the teeth and gums are healthy. It is not suitable for individuals with certain dental conditions, such as severe enamel erosion or untreated cavities. The results of laserblekning can vary depending on the individual's natural tooth color and the extent of staining. Maintenance of good oral hygiene and avoiding staining substances like coffee, tea, and tobacco can help prolong the whitening effects.
