Dental whitening, also known as teeth bleaching, is an effective way to enhance the brightness of your teeth. Whether stained by food, wine, tobacco, or age, our dental whitening procedure can revitalize your smile.
With time teeth become stained owing to illness, medication or the food and beverages such as blueberries, tea, coffee and red wine, we consume. Another factor is of course age which is why whitening procedures are so popular as they help you look younger. Laser teeth whitening is a cosmetic laser dentistry procedure and is one of the more popular whitening treatments available today. It is done in a dental clinic and involves placing a concentrated whitening gel on your teeth which is then heated up using a laser which whitens your teeth quickly. Zoom teeth whitening is one of the most common laser teeth whitening procedures, by which a 25% hydrogen peroxide gel is applied to the teeth before a blue plasma light activates the solution.
While there are a myriad of different whitening options on the market, here at Essence Dentistry & Cosmetics, we offer 2 whitening modalities.

Before embarking on a teeth whitening treatment, it’s crucial to undergo a professional evaluation to ensure your oral health is suitable. Keep realistic expectations in mind, as results vary for each individual and can be influenced by natural tooth color. Choose a whitening method that aligns with your lifestyle and budget. Anticipate potential side effects such as temporary sensitivity or gum irritation. To maintain results, steer clear of staining foods and beverages, and prioritize regular oral care. Opt for trusted products and professional services to safeguard your dental health. Lastly, exercise patience, especially with home whitening kits, as they may require time to yield desired outcomes.
