LED vs laser teeth whitening

Some within the teeth whitening industry use a Laser lamp to activate the whitening gel. It is proven that heating the gel increases results however when using a laser light, it is not only the gel that is heated but also the tooth and potentially the inner part of your tooth including the nerve. Many people find that this light feels hot and can be quite painful and thus laser lights at the incorrect wavelength and temperature increase the risk of side effects such as tooth sensitivity, gum irritation, burns to the soft tissue of your gums and lips.

We only use cool, safe and specific wavelength LED lights in violet, red and blue minimising the risk of these side effects.

Blue LED light also reduces bacteria associated to gum disease and red LED light reduces gum inflammation and helps tissue repair and healing.
