PEARLINBRITETM Laser Tooth Whitening in New York City
Dr. Linhart's practice in New York City whitens teeth by using specially formulated gels requiring activation from two lasers.
While individual patients respond differently, depending upon the degree of previous staining, patients can expect a 9-10 shade-change in just one visit. PEARLINBRITETM takes approximately two hours; the advantages over other tooth whitening procedures are numerous:
What are the benefits of PEARLINBRITETM Laser Tooth Whitening?
- PEARLINBRITETM speeds up the tooth whitening process, so that immediate results are achieved.
- It is safe because the teeth are isolated and unnecessary sensitivity to the gum tissue is avoided.
- Dr. Linhart can whiten one or two teeth adjacent to where other cosmetic dentistry has been performed.
- It is much more effective than any other tooth whitening system.
How does PEARLINBRITETM tooth whitening work?
All whitening systems use peroxides to "bleach" the teeth. Current laser whitening systems utilize hydrogen peroxide and laser energy to "excite" the hydrogen peroxide into a higher energy state which expels, or "kicks off," the free radical oxygen; this, in turn, "attacks" the organic molecule which constitutes the stain. PEARLINBRITETM uses proprietary technology, whereby the laser energy strikes what is called Energy Transfer Crystals (ETC). ETC's absorb the laser energy and transfers it on a molecular level to the hydrogen peroxide molecule, "exciting" it and producing the free radical oxygen.
When Dr. Linhart performs PEARLINBRITETM the gel, comprised of a predetermined percentage of hydrogen peroxide, is applied to the teeth, and each tooth is then exposed to the laser for 30 seconds. After a three minute wait, the gel is suctioned off and a second coat is applied. This procedure is repeated several times. After the last application, the patient is given a fluoride treatment.
What makes PEARLINBRITETM unique?
Dr. Linhart has specifically utilized two different lasers and three different laser-specific gels to get the optimum result in laser whitening systems. The system has been attributed to almost 100% tooth whitening success in the majority of cases leaving Dr. Linhart's New York City office.
