The fastest and best teeth whitening procedure is probably also the most expensive. Some dentists have laser teeth whitening systems that require one treatment that will vary in time based on the degree of discoloration. The translucent bleaching gel is spread over the teeth carefully and a laser light is then focused on the teeth. The light causes a quickening of the bleaching action and also causes the active bleaching agent, hydrogen peroxide, to penetrate beneath the tooth enamel and into the dentin.
The teeth whitening cost for this procedure tops the list of teeth whitening options, although a method that requires multiple dentist office visits may come close in expense. A cheaper fast teeth whitening option is BriteSmile, a proprietary teeth whitening process that some dentists offer as a quick professional teeth whitening option. BriteSmile also utilizes bleaching gel that is placed on the teeth with a light beamed on both teeth and bleaching agent. This procedure also requires just a single trip to the dentist’s office. The treatment may be repeated once or twice, but each treatment lasts just twenty to thirty minutes.
The use of laser technology or some other process such as BriteSmile that employs a light accelerant is the fastest method of teeth whitening. They can also be deceptive however, as the light creates heat projected on the teeth as well as illumination. The heat will often dehydrate the teeth it’s focused on, which causes an additional whitening effect that further brightens the results of the treatment. The teeth will rehydrate in a few days however, and your teeth will lose a little of that new white gleam.
