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


By "severe dentinal hypersensitivity" do you mean Pain?
If it would be MORE painful than the gel I used at night, I want no
part of it. It was like having a toothache in most of my mouth, for
days!


It is the same active ingredient (carbamyl peroxide) activated by light
for accelerated action. If you had severe pain last time, I would
discourage laser whitening for you on that basis alone.

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

Thanks a lot - I guess I'm just not a candidate for teeth whitening
until they figure out a painless way...
