If you've been considering a brighter smile, you might have explored various teeth-whitening options. Among the most effective and quick methods available today is laser teeth whitening. At OraCare Dentistry in Plano, TX, Dr. Savitha Bathini uses the state-of-the-art EPIC X™ laser technology, which can brighten your teeth up to 12 shades in just one session. Let's explore this revolutionary treatment and its benefits so you can know what to expect when you come in for treatment.

How effective is EPIC X laser whitening?

The EPIC X laser whitening system at OraCare Dentistry can dramatically brighten your smile, typically improving teeth color by up to 12 shades in a single session. This substantial enhancement depends on factors such as the original color of your teeth and your oral hygiene. The precision of the EPIC X laser ensures that each treatment is effective and safe, providing a noticeable difference almost immediately.

What are the benefits of BIOLASE dental lasers?

BIOLASE dental lasers bring many advantages to the teeth whitening process, enhancing both the effectiveness and comfort of the treatment. At OraCare Dentistry, we use these advanced lasers to ensure our patients receive the best possible results with minimal discomfort. Here's how BIOLASE dental lasers stand out:

  • Precision and control
  • Reduced sensitivity
  • Faster results
  • Customizable treatments

With these benefits, BIOLASE dental lasers not only improve the aesthetic results of teeth whitening but also contribute to a more comfortable, safe, and satisfying patient experience.

Am I a good candidate for in-office teeth whitening?

Determining whether you are a good candidate for EPIC X laser whitening involves evaluating your dental health and aesthetic goals. At OraCare Dentistry, Dr. Bathini conducts a thorough assessment to ensure this treatment is suitable and safe for you. Here are the key considerations:

  • Dental health: Candidates should have healthy teeth and gums without major issues like gum disease or deep cavities.
  • Dental restorations: People with fillings or crowns in visible areas might not see uniform whitening, as these materials do not respond to bleaching.
  • Previous whitening results: If you have experienced good results from other whitening treatments, you're likely to respond well to EPIC X laser whitening.
  • Lifestyle factors: Adults who practice good oral hygiene and avoid smoking tend to achieve optimal, long-lasting results.

If you meet these criteria, EPIC X laser whitening could be an excellent option for achieving a brighter, more uniform smile.

How can you maintain your laser teeth whitening results?

Maintaining the results of your laser teeth whitening is key to enjoying a lasting, bright smile. Here are some tips recommended by Dr. Bathini to help keep your teeth looking their best:

  • Avoid staining foods and drinks like coffee, tea, and red wine
  • Practice consistent oral hygiene by brushing twice daily and using floss
  • Consider a touch-up treatment every 6 – 12 months, depending on your personal habits and the advice of your dental professional

By following these guidelines, you can extend the life of your whitening results and enjoy a radiant smile for longer.
