Re: Teeth whitening laser treatment?

I once tried to whiten my teeth with a custom made plastic thing that
fit over my teeth, which held gel that I wore at night. After I
increased the dosage of the gel it hurt like hell so I quit using it.

Meanwhile a friend of mine just had his whitened using some new laser
method, all in one quick sitting.

I would rather get it done in one quick sitting.

Is this safe? Effective? Does it last?
Please give me the scoop on this laser whitening.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!


Compared to traditional tray bleaching, laser whitening is:
Quicker
More convenient
More expensive
More likely to cause severe (if transient) dentinal hypersensitivity.

Effectiveness seems to be about the same as bleach whitening, from what I've seen and heard.
