The Specifics
What is laser teeth whitening?
Laser teeth whitening is a teeth whitening solution performed in a dental office. The quickest and most expensive whitening solution used in cosmetic dentistry, laser teeth whitening uses powerful concentrations of hydrogen peroxide gel and laser whitening heat energy to rapidly and effectively remove external enamel layer staining.
The Anatomy of the Tooth
What cosmetic concerns does a laser teeth whitening procedure treat?
Who is the ideal candidate for a laser teeth whitening procedure?
The ideal candidate for a laser teeth whitening procedure has tooth discoloration and is in generally good health. Laser teeth whitening is not recommended for those with poor oral health, sensitive teeth, and deep set tooth staining below the enamel layer.

There is no recovery period following a laser teeth whitening procedure. Tooth and gum sensitivity is common, but typically resolves within days. Avoiding staining food, substances, and dental products is recommended for 24 hours.

What is the average cost of a laser teeth whitening procedure?
A laser teeth whitening procedure can cost anywhere from $400 to $1,500. The actual cost of laser teeth whitening is dependent upon location, hair loss specialist or dermatologist, and length and involvement of the cosmetic procedure.
