Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?  

Teeth whitening is one of the simplest ways to improve the appearance of your smile. But how do you know if it’s right for you?  

Consider teeth whitening if you:

• Have healthy teeth and gums without untreated cavities or gum disease.
• Want to reduce the appearance of stains or discoloration?
• Feel self-conscious about the shade of your teeth.
• Are you preparing for a special event like a wedding, job interview, or reunion?  

During your consultation at Laughlin Dental, Dr. Laughlin will evaluate your dental health and recommend the best options for achieving your dream smile. While most people are excellent candidates for whitening, those with certain dental conditions or severe discoloration may require alternative treatments.

The Benefits of Teeth Whitening  

Professional teeth whitening in Pasadena offers numerous advantages over at-home kits or DIY remedies. Here are some of the key benefits:

• Enhanced Confidence: A whiter smile can make you feel more self-assured in social and professional settings.  
• Custom Results: With professional whitening, your treatment is personalized to fit your smile goals.
• Fast and Effective: Our advanced whitening technology works quickly to create noticeable results, often in a single visit.
• Safe for Your Teeth: Unlike some over-the-counter products, our treatments are designed with your dental health in mind.  
• Long-Lasting: Pairing professional whitening with good oral hygiene can help maintain your bright smile longer.  

The Teeth Whitening Process at Laughlin Dental  

At Laughlin Dental, we use a straightforward yet effective process for teeth whitening. Here’s what you can expect during your appointment:

Initial Consultation  

Dr. Laughlin will start with a personalized consultation to assess the condition of your teeth and gums. You’ll discuss your whitening goals to ensure the treatment meets your expectations.  

Preparation  

Your teeth will be thoroughly cleaned to remove any plaque or tartar that might interfere with the whitening process.  

BIOLASE

The BIOLASE in-office treatment method uses advanced laser technology to achieve fast and effective teeth whitening results. A special whitening gel is applied to your teeth, and the BIOLASE laser is used to activate the gel, breaking down stains and discoloration on the enamel. 

Rinse and Reveal  

Once the treatment is complete, we’ll rinse your teeth, and you’ll instantly notice a brighter, whiter smile in the mirror!  

Caring for Your Smile After Whitening  

To maintain the results of your teeth whitening for as long as possible, follow these aftercare tips:

• Avoid staining foods and beverages like coffee, wine, and berries for at least 48 hours.  
• Brush your teeth twice a day using a non-abrasive fluoride toothpaste.  
• Use a straw when drinking dark-colored beverages.  
• Rinse your mouth with water after consuming foods or drinks that could stain your teeth.  
• Schedule regular cleanings at Laughlin Dental to keep your teeth looking their best.  

Dr. Laughlin can also recommend touch-up treatments or additional care for an extended glow.
