What is laser teeth whitening?

Laser teeth whitening uses state-of-the-art technology to remove deep stains and discoloration, leaving patients with a stunning smile. During the procedure, our specialists will protect the gums with a special barrier, then apply a whitening gel to the teeth. The laser works by activating the gel and breaking down the unwanted stains. Dr. Veytsman can perform laser treatment in about 45 minutes, and results are visible right away.

Caring for your teeth after laser teeth whitening

Cosmetic dentistry experts recommend taking special care of your teeth after Philips Zoom! White Speed in NYC or Beverly Hills, CA. Here are some top tips provided by our celebrity dentist:

• Avoid staining food and beverages: Avoid or limit consuming staining substances such as coffee, tea, red wine, and dark-colored fruits. If you do indulge, rinse your mouth with water or brush your teeth afterward.
• Maintain excellent oral health: Continue to practice smart oral health habits like brushing twice daily. Pay special attention to brushing along the gumline and all tooth surfaces to remove plaque or food particles that could contribute to staining.
• Book regular dental cleanings: Scheduling regular six-month checkups and cleanings is a great way to maintain your teeth whitening outcomes. During these visits, our expert team can recommend more treatments if needed.
• Use a whitening toothpaste: Over-the-counter whitening toothpaste can keep your teeth looking bright in between appointments. Just be sure to check the ingredients and avoid products that contain abrasive materials that can damage the enamel.
• Use a straw: When drinking staining beverages like coffee, tea, or soda, opt for a straw to minimize contact between the liquid and your enamel. This is especially helpful if you’re unable to brush afterward.
