Laser Teeth Whitening in Annandale, VA

As an in-office procedure, laser teeth whitening doesn't require anesthesia, but should you have dental anxiety or a powerful gag reflex, there are sedation choices available to help ensure your comfort. Your teeth will need to be cleaned and dried prior to treatment so the whitening product can be evenly applied. Afterward, a protective barrier will be put over your gums while your eyes are shielded with special glasses. We will apply a hydrogen peroxide-based whitening gel to your teeth and use the Epic X laser to activate the gel. The mix of hydrogen peroxide and laser light works to break down the stains. The treatment only lasts about 20 minutes. As soon as it is complete, the rest of the gel and protective gum barrier will be cleared away before your mouth is rinsed.
