Tooth whitening is the most requested cosmetic dental procedure in the US and our NYC patients are no exception -- especially around the holidays! When selecting a whitening system for our patients, as with everything else in our practice we spent the time, did our research and found the very best -- exceptional results in the least amount of time with the least amount of discomfort. We proudly offer a laser whitening system that is an easy choice to brighten the smiles of our patients.
Any of our patients (and staff members) who have tried our laser whitening system have loved it, even the skeptics who had experienced sensitivity with other systems and swore they would never whiten their teeth again. We invite you to give it a try; we promise you'll be pleased!
Below are some of the benefits of laser whitening as compared to other popular systems such as Zoom:
- A proprietary hydrogen peroxide-based gel is applied to the teeth which contains a pigment that is activated by the laser, and absorbs the laser's energy, allowing for the amount of energy to be adjusted, thus substantially decreasing and in most cases completely eliminating post-whitening sensitivity aka "zingers"
- No prolonged exposure to UV light -- the laser is directed only at the gel for a total of 6 minutes (in 2 minute increments), as opposed to a minimum of 45 minutes of UV light exposure with other systems
- The whitening procedure can be completed in just 20 minutes, a HUGE time saver as compared to systems such as Zoom which require at least a full hour and usually more
- Results are noticeable immediately after the procedure, and there is no "waiting time" to allow for the whitening gel to work
