Is there any difference between over-the-counter tooth whiteners and laser tooth whitening?
Yes! Consulting your dental professional is always the first step to whitening your teeth safely. Plus, over-the-counter tooth whitening strips, brush-on gels and toothpastes take weeks or months to whiten your teeth just a few shades. Laser whitening typically whitens your teeth eight shades in one visit. Only a dentist can get your teeth this white, this fast. How does the LaserSmile tooth whitening system work? The laser activated whitening gel’s active ingredient is Hydrogen Peroxide. As the Hydrogen Peroxide gel is broken down, oxygen enters the enamel and dentin, bleaching colored substances while the structure of the tooth is unchanged. The laser aids in activating the Hydrogen Peroxide and helps it penetrate the surface of the tooth. How can I maintain my new whiter teeth?

Most often a touch-up once a year will maintain a whiter smile that sparkles
