LaserSmile Teeth Whitening in Los Gatos, CA
LaserSmile is a professional laser teeth whitening treatment designed to reduce the appearance of stains and reveal a brighter, more even smile. Unlike over-the-counter whitening kits, this in-office treatment is personalized to your current tooth shade and the results you hope to achieve. Dr. Lazaar and our team evaluate your smile before treatment so your plan is tailored to you, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
What Causes Teeth to Become Discolored?
Several everyday factors can cause teeth to darken or discolor over time, including:
- Coffee, tea, red wine and other deeply pigmented foods and beverages
- Tobacco use
- Natural aging
- Certain medications
- Changes within the tooth itself
- General wear and changes to enamel over time
Some discoloration sits on the surface of the tooth, while other staining develops deeper within the tooth structure. This is one reason whitening results can vary from patient to patient.
Whiten Your Smile with LaserSmile
Dr. Lazaar at Smiles By Design Dentistry in Los Gatos, CA offers LaserSmile whitening treatment to safely brighten your teeth and reveal a more confident, radiant smile in just one visit.
Are You a Good Candidate for Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening may be a good option if you are:
- An adult who wants to improve the brightness of your natural teeth
- Noticing yellowing or staining from food, beverages, tobacco or aging
- Preparing for a special event or simply want a fresher smile
Before starting treatment, we recommend an exam to make sure any cavities, gum disease or sensitivity are addressed first. Crowns, veneers, fillings and other restorations do not whiten the way natural teeth do, so Dr. Lazaar can help you understand what results to expect.
What to Expect During Your LaserSmile Whitening Treatment
The procedure is quick and easy. In just one visit to our office you can sit back, relax and in 60 minutes you will leave with the brightest smile you have ever had.
How Long Do Teeth Whitening Results Last?
Teeth whitening results are not permanent and can fade gradually over time. How long your results last depends on factors like your diet, oral hygiene habits and whether you use tobacco products. Periodic touch-up treatments can help you maintain your preferred shade between visits.
How to Keep Your Teeth White
A few simple habits can help you protect your results:
- Brush twice daily and floss regularly
- Maintain routine dental cleanings
- Limit frequent consumption of heavily staining foods and beverages
- Rinse with water after consuming staining beverages when appropriate
- Avoid tobacco products
- Follow any personalized whitening maintenance recommendations from our team
Does Teeth Whitening Cause Sensitivity?
Some patients notice temporary sensitivity, such as a reaction to cold, during or after whitening treatment. This sensitivity is usually mild and fades within a short time. If you already experience significant tooth sensitivity, let us know before treatment so Dr. Lazaar can help determine whether whitening is a good fit for your smile.
Is LaserSmile Whitening Safe?
LaserSmile whitening is administered under professional evaluation to help ensure it is an appropriate option for your smile. Following your treatment instructions and any at-home care guidance helps support a safe, comfortable experience. Dr. Lazaar and our team are here to guide you through every step.
