Procedure of Teeth Whitening


Digital tooth color analysis helps to determine the level of staining and discoloration on teeth, as well as the degree of whiteness that can be achieved with different whitening treatments.


The tooth surface will be cleaned to remove any food particles or debris.


A bleaching agent is applied to the tooth surface and is activated with laser for better penetration.


The process will be repeated in multiple appointments until your teeth have reached the desired level of whiteness.

  • Genetic conditions such as high melanin production in the gum areas, certain syndromes.

  • Systemic conditions such as Addison’s diseases.

  • Certain drugs like tetracyclines

  • Smoking

  • Gum infections.

Procedure Gum whitening with Laser
