You can also request an appointment online and one of our office staff will contact you to verify your appointment.

In a nutshell, the process is as follows: the dentist applies bleaching gel to your teeth and a laser is used to accelerate the bleaching process. Technically, the use of the word “laser” is a bit inaccurate; rather, the procedure is often called power or light-accelerated bleaching because it uses light energy (such as halogen, LED or plasma arc) to heat the gel and thereby achieve instantaneous results. In addition, your dentist will polish your teeth using pumice so that you’re able to leave our laser teeth whitening Galleria office with your teeth looking their best.

Because a laser teeth whitening procedure can result in initial sensitivity in some patients, your dentist will likely prescribe remedies to reduce post-procedure tenderness. For instance, you may be presented with soft rubber dams to cover your gums. Another option is a desensitizing toothpaste that hardens enamel, or a paste rich in potassium nitrate to relieve or reduce pain in the teeth, gums, lips and other oral tissues. Believe it or not, even regular chewing gum works to produce saliva that coats and soothes sensitive teeth.
