The Pros and Cons of Laser Teeth Whitening

Laser Teeth Whitening

Nothing is more beautiful than a brilliantly white smile, but sometimes brushing alone is not enough to give you the smile you want. There are several options available for teeth whitening, but one of the newest and most popular options is laser teeth whitening.
Before you schedule an appointment, take the time to learn the pros and cons of laser teeth whitening so you can decide if it is right for you.

Pros of Laser Teeth Whitening
The most significant benefit of laser teeth whitening is that it is the most effective whitening option available – the results are highly visible and undeniable. In addition to being highly effective, this type of teeth whitening treatment is also very quick and easy – you can whiten your teeth by several shades in just a few minutes. Perhaps, the most important benefit of laser teeth whitening is that it is not invasive or uncomfortable. All you have to do is sit in the chair, open up, and wait for the laser to do its work.

Cons of Laser Teeth Whitening
Although there are many benefits to laser teeth whitening, there are some drawbacks as well. Because this type of treatment involves the use of a laser, it is not the right treatment for everyone – some people are sensitive to the laser’s rays during treatment, and others report increased tooth sensitivity after treatment. Unfortunately, you may not be able to predict ahead of time whether you will be sensitive to the laser treatment. Another drawback of this type of tooth whitening is that it is fairly expensive – you pay for what you get, however, which includes immediate results and teeth up to 10 shades whiter.

As is true for all things in life, laser teeth whitening has both its advantages and disadvantages. It is up to you to decide whether the pros outweigh the cons and whether laser teeth whitening is the right option for you.
