What is LED Teeth Whitening?
LED teeth whitening is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to accelerate the teeth whitening process. It is a popular and effective method to brighten the appearance of teeth and achieve a whiter smile. The procedure can also be done in-salon by a technician or at-home with a self-administered kit.
The process typically involves the following steps:
Dental Examination: Before undergoing LED teeth whitening, consult with your dentist to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy and suitable for the procedure.
Cleaning: Before your session, ensure you’ve cleaned your teeth thoroughly to remove any remaining food or surface stains from eating or drinking.
Application of Whitening Gel: A professional-grade whitening gel containing hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide is applied to your teeth. This gel helps break down and remove stains from the enamel.
Activation with LED Light: Once the whitening gel is applied, an LED light is directed at your teeth. The light helps activate the whitening agents in the gel, accelerating the whitening process.
Multiple Sessions: LED teeth whitening may involve multiple sessions to achieve the desired level of whitening. Each session typically lasts around 15 to 30 minutes.
Aftercare: After the procedure, it’s recommended that you avoid certain foods and beverages that may stain the teeth, as well as continue proper oral hygiene practices to maintain the results.
LED teeth whitening is generally considered safe and can provide noticeable results in just one or a few sessions. However, individual results may vary based on factors such as the severity of teeth discoloration and the type of stains.
It's important to note that LED teeth whitening is different from laser teeth whitening, where lasers are used instead of LED lights to activate the whitening gel. Both methods are commonly offered by dental professionals as effective teeth whitening treatments. Before considering any teeth whitening procedure, it is advisable to consult with your dentist to determine the best option for your dental health and cosmetic goals.
