An oxygen-containing gel is applied to the teeth, after which the doctor begins to work on the enamel with a directional laser beam. Thanks to this process, atomic oxygen is released, deeply penetrating and removing all the coloring substances from it.

The bleaching time is from fifteen to thirty minutes. After the first procedure, the enamel will lighten to six or eight shades. What is characteristic of laser whitening is even the most neglected teeth.

After laser bleaching, the teeth will never become as yellow as before, keeping the whiteness. At the same time, the enamel itself is strengthened, the sensitivity of the teeth to various stimuli is prevented.
