100-Watt Smile with the Help of RGV Smiles
A gel is placed over the teeth which contains an active ingredient that bleaches the teeth. Carbamide peroxide breaks down to hydrogen peroxide inside the mouth which enters the enamel faster. With help of light this produces faster results of whiter teeth. The laser facilitates and accelerates the bleaching of the teeth. During the sessions, teeth are usually exposed to the light for 15 minutes.
