Do I Need a Specialist for Laser Teeth Whitening?

Question

Lance Timmerman, DMD, MAGD · Answer

Teeth whitening is not a specialty, just as cosmetic dentistry is not a specialty.  So there really isn't a specialist to go TO.
However, while many dentists say that they whiten teeth, many don't do it well.

James Magee, DDS · Answer

No, all dentist can performed this treatment, but they have to have the required equipment. We use a revolutionary laser called Biolase epic. This system includes a hand piece specifically designed for laser whitening. How does it work? The whitening solution is placed on the teeth, just like any other whitening system. The Biolase epic opens the tooth the fastest, as well as the deepest. This produces whiter, and more beautiful teeth in as little as 30 minutes.

the need for a "specialist" is not needed but you need to look for a few items before you bleach

	1. do they provide pre op instruction on how to use a sensodyne like product to decrease bleaching sensitivity

	2. do they protect the gingiva with a barrier type product?

	3. is the staff aware of different bleach types like carbemide peroxide vs. hydrogen peroxide and the pros and cons of each

	4. before and after photos?

	5. do they provide trays with the power bleaching?

Peter Mann, DDS · Answer

Any dentist can perform "Laser teeth whitening".  Some but not all dentists have the equipment in their office to perform such a procedure.  Like other Doctors suggested the teeth whitening does  not actually use a laser, but a halogen lamp to activate the whitening products.  Zoom! teeth whitening is one option which works well for most people.  Prices range anywhere from $500-$1,000 depending on your region.  But if you shop around you'd be surprised the deals you can find.  However,  I recommend that in-office teeth whitening only be performed by a dental professional.
