Why Choose Laser-Assisted Teeth Whitening?
Laser-assisted teeth whitening isn’t just about quick results; it’s about maximizing the potential of your whitening treatment. The laser works by activating the whitening agents applied to your teeth, allowing them to penetrate deeper into the enamel and break down stains more effectively. This means you can achieve a more noticeable difference in just one visit.
Another key benefit is the reduced sensitivity that many patients experience compared to traditional whitening methods. The precision of the laser allows for targeted treatment, minimizing exposure to your gums and reducing the likelihood of irritation or discomfort.
Long-Lasting Brightness
One of the standout features of laser-assisted teeth whitening is its ability to deliver results that last. By deeply penetrating the enamel, this method not only brightens your smile more effectively but also helps maintain that brightness for a longer period. With proper care and regular maintenance, you can enjoy your dazzling smile for years to come.
Fast, Effective, and Minimally Invasive Treatments
At Archer Dental, we are committed to providing cutting-edge dental solutions that prioritize your comfort and safety. Our advanced whitening system, which utilizes the Er:YAG wavelength, ensures that the energy is fully absorbed in the bleaching gel, eliminating any direct heating of the underlying tooth. This is a significant improvement over traditional diode and other laser wavelengths used in other whitening systems, where the transmitted light directly heats the entire tooth, often leading to increased sensitivity.
The innovative TouchWhite™ technique further enhances this process by utilizing the laser’s energy far more effectively, minimizing thermal impact on the tooth. This allows the gel to be safely heated to higher temperatures without compromising the safety of the tooth or pulp. As a result, the TouchWhite™ procedure can be performed significantly faster, with whitening speeds increased by 5–10 times compared to conventional methods.
At Archer Dental, our focus on using the latest technology means that you can achieve a brighter, whiter smile in a fraction of the time, all while ensuring your teeth remain healthy and free from sensitivity.

Do Dental Cleanings Whiten Teeth?
A common question many patients have is whether dental cleanings can whiten teeth. Dental cleanings, such as those offered at Archer Dental, are focused on removing plaque, tartar, and surface stains that naturally build up over time. While dental cleanings are not designed to bleach or chemically whiten teeth, they often lead to a brighter, cleaner appearance by addressing these surface-level discolorations.
The benefits of a dental cleaning include not only a cleaner mouth but also an enhancement in how your teeth look, as removing plaque and tartar buildup can reveal a slightly brighter surface. However, for patients seeking a significant change in tooth color or brightness, professional whitening treatments, which use bleaching agents, are more effective. These treatments specifically target deeper stains within the tooth structure that a standard cleaning cannot reach.
Choosing Between Dental Cleanings and Teeth Whitening
For those looking to enhance their smile’s brightness significantly, a dental cleaning and whitening combination can be highly effective. Starting with a dental cleaning helps remove surface stains, setting the stage for more impactful results from a whitening treatment if desired. Archer Dental provides options that include both cleaning and whitening, allowing patients to achieve optimal results for both oral health and aesthetic goals.
In short, while regular cleanings contribute to a cleaner, healthier appearance, teeth whitening treatments are the best choice for patients aiming for a noticeably whiter smile.
Frequently asked questions
How well does teeth whitening done by the dentist work?
Professional teeth whitening systems done used the dental offices are safe and effective, when done under the supervision of a dental professional. Most people agree, that it is worth the extra cost to visit the dentist to get long-lasting, safe results.
Does teeth whitening cause any dental problems?
The peroxide in teeth whitening kits can damage the tissues of the gums. It can also damage the nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues of the tooth. Improper use of these chemicals can lead to teeth sensitivity and gum irritation.
Person may experience short sharp pains in response to hot or cold foods and drinks after improper application of whitening treatments.
If whitening products are overused or used incorrectly, the peroxide in the whitening gel can wear away tooth enamel and irritate the dental nerves or cause a chemical burn. That is why we recommend to only rely on whitening products purchased or performed at the dental office by a dentist.
Does teeth whitening remove a thin layer from your teeth?
No, professional teeth whitening doesn’t damage enamel or remove layers from your teeth. The main portion of the tooth, the dentin, is the portion of the tooth that’s responsible for the natural color of your teeth. The teeth are first coated with a whitening solution on the front surface of the tooth. The solution will then travel through the tooth enamel to the dentin. The stained tissue in the inner layer will begin to lighten.
Does baking soda really help whiten teeth?
The very simple answer is yes, however it only whitens teeth by abrading the surface and removing surface stains. If the tooth abrasion continues for a long period of time you can find that the hard outer layer of the tooth (enamel) gets worn away, this is particularly prevalent around the neck of the tooth where it joins the gum. This can cause sensitive teeth in the long-term!
