How does the laser compare with bleaching trays?
Both are effective and will give good results when properly used. The laser procedure shows results in one hour that may take wearing trays 1-3 weeks to achieve. Also, the laser is in the doctor’s control whereas the trays are under the patient’s control. It takes discipline, patience and there is usually more discomfort with the trays. Approximately half the patients we treat with the laser have tried trays, and for one reason or another have chosen to get the laser treatment. If you could lose 10 pounds in one hour instead of dieting for 1-3 weeks to achieve the same 10-pound loss, which one would you choose? The biggest advantage of the laser is instant gratification, which our low cost makes possible for the same price most dentists charge for the trays alone.
