Butterfly Smile Teeth Whitening

Service Description

Butterfly Smile laser teeth whitening is a procedure designed to brighten your teeth. During the procedure, a bleaching gel is applied to your teeth. A laser is then directed onto your teeth, which heats up the gel. This activates its whitening properties and alters stain molecules on the teeth. The goal of laser teeth whitening is to reduce discoloration and make your teeth look whiter. Tooth discoloration can happen for many reasons, including: consuming certain foods and drinks, like coffee and tea using tobacco aging injury to the mouth certain medications, like antihistamines and chemotherapy Compared with other in-office whitening procedures using either UV light or whitening gels, the results are about equal, according to a 2014 literature reviewTrusted Source. Because of this, laser teeth whitening is considered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an “off-label” use of lasers in dentistry, and as a result, lasers are not endorsed by the American Dental Association, according to a 2014 literature reviewTrusted Source.
