The Art of Laser Teeth Whitening
Do you ever look into the mirror or at a picture of yourself only to see a set of yellow teeth smiling back? Are you embarrassed to smile in photos because of the color of your teeth? Do you envy friends and family who have pearly whites? If you answered “Yes” to any of those questions then you are likely an ideal candidate for Thin Centers MD teeth whitening. Read on to learn more.
There are many different forms of teeth whitening including over-the-counter options like whitening strips and toothpastes, prescription strength whitening trays, and laser whitening options. Depending on the severity of your teeth discoloration will help you decide what kind of whitening treatment option is best for you. However, if you want white teeth quickly, then laser teeth whitening is a great option for you to choose.
Laser Teeth Whitening
Laser teeth whitening is an in-office whitening treatment. Here at Thin Centers MD we use The Beyond WhiteSpa laser system which involves getting patients whiter teeth in simple 20 minute sessions. The Beyond WhiteSpa laser system is so effective in fact, that your teeth can whiten 3-5 shades in just one session. Which means that if you have a big day coming up and would like to have whiter teeth, then The Beyond WhiteSpa laser is the perfect option that you’ve been looking for. After your first laser treatment, your teeth may feel a bit sensitive and sore but that should go away after a little while— if for any reason you experience extreme sensitivity afterwards, contact our office as soon as possible.
Once you have had laser teeth whitening done, it is recommended that you abstain from stain causing foods and beverages like coffee, black tea, and dark colored juices. Additionally, it is encouraged to drink lots of water after every meal in order to rid your teeth of any sort of stains that may occur due to the food you consumed.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is laser teeth whitening different from whitening strips?
Laser whitening is an in-office treatment that uses a professional-strength whitening agent activated by light, which works faster and more evenly than over-the-counter strips or toothpastes.
How long does a laser teeth whitening session take?
The treatment is usually completed in a single office visit, making it a practical choice when you want noticeably whiter teeth quickly.
How long do laser whitening results last?
Results vary with your habits. Coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco re-stain teeth faster, while good brushing habits and occasional touch-ups help the brightness last longer.
Does laser teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Some patients notice temporary tooth sensitivity after treatment, which typically settles within a few days. Tell your provider if you already have sensitive teeth so the treatment can be adjusted.
