Tooth
Whitening with LED Blue Light
A
brighter smile can boost your self-esteem and help offset the effect food and
aging have on the appearance of your teeth. If you have unsightly stains on
your teeth, teeth whitening with LED blue light is the best answer, we
have.
Blue
light is within the ultraviolet spectrum, similar to the light emitted by the
sun. Studies show that blue light is an excellent activation agent for hydrogen
peroxide, the cleaning agent in tooth whitening systems, giving your
teeth a deeper clean in less time.
In
order to obtain the best results for your smile, we use one of the tooth
whitening treatments, the chairside Healix, whitening system, the leading
in-office treatment for bleaching teeth. It is blue light LED (light emitting
diode) technology.
We us in-office
bleaching, high concentration hydrogen peroxide (15%-40%) gel. It is widely
used material because of these advantages: Minimally invasive, immediate
visible results and no need of patient cooperation. Also, in-office whitening
is the best for patients who need close monitoring for clinical conditions such
as pronounced gingival recession or deep, unrestored abfraction lesions, and
necessary for tooth discoloration associated with endodontic therapy.
HealixLED activation triggers a photo catalyst within the whitener that assists in
breaking its hydrogen peroxide content down into its reactive components. This,
in turn, speeds up the rate at which the tooth whitening process takes place
(shorter appointments) and enhances the treatment's results (whiter teeth).
Note:
Modern bleaching lights are not used for "thermal" activation of the
whitener (heating it up so to increase its reactivity). Doing so can be harmful
to teeth.
♦ Teeth are cleaned and polished
with anti hypersensitive tooth flouride toothpaste.
♦ Great care is taken to isolate
your mouth so only the teeth are exposed. We will apply gingival shield to
protect soft tissue.
♦ Bleaching gel containing
hydrogen peroxide is applied to your teeth.
♦ The activation lamp emits blue
light that triggers the gel; the lamp doesn’t emit heat, meaning you won’t be
made uncomfortable by a hot light from the procedure.
♦ The tooth whitening gel enters
your enamel and lifts the stains.
♦ Everything is rinsed and
removed, and you get to take a look at your new, white smile.
♦ Tooth whitening with Healix only
takes about 1 hour, this cosmetic dentistry procedure can give your teeth a
bright, healthy shine that can last for up to 5 to 7 years.
