Laser teeth whitening is one of the top growing trends within the cosmetic industry, and living in the 21st century its no doubt that you have heard about it.

There is no escaping the bright smiles of celebrities, but its not just celebrities supporting these sparkling smiles, as now-a-days teeth whitening has become affordable to the average everyday person.

With the change in the laws and regulations surrounding teeth whitening it means that your treatment can be carried out by someone other than a dentist, therefore you will find treatments being offered at a much lower price.

You might have tried several methods of teeth whitening over the years and found nothing giving you the results you desire, if your teeth are stained or discoloured you might find it hard to smile, therefore a treatment of laser teeth whitening might just put a smile back on your face.

Choosing to have laser teeth whitening have the added advantage over other methods because the results are instant, depending on badly stained or discoloured your teeth were to start with you will notice an improvement of 5-8 shades and the most treatments are done within the hour.

Us humans are like sheep and we tend to follow and apply what we read in the media, and watching reality TV shows like Extreme makeover and X Factor only makes us envious of the stars.

Its now a known fact that X Factor Judge Simon Cowell encourages the finalist to have a smile makeover as he is very particular about teeth, its not surprising especially when you see his blinding smile, although that is down to porcelain veneers.

If you have been considering the option to have your teeth whitening and laser whitening being among your choices you should do a little research before proceeding.

When choosing a company ask if they offer a consultation, this way you can test the water before committing to anything. Read testimonials this is always a good way to gauge if the service you are about to receive is up to what they say it is, if there are video testimonials even better.

Ask about insurance cover you will want to be sure, should anything go wrong that the business has a decent insurance cover in place.

And above all else experience. Experience plays a big part, as the more experience a person has the more comfortable you will feel. Although its is not necessary for you to have the treatment carried out by a dentist, the next best thing would be a dental nurse, as they will have experience from working alongside a dentist and knows how to best spot any problems should any arise.

You will find that prices for laser teeth whitening will differ according to experience, as a dental nurse/hygienist will have the added advantage over a newly trained whitening technician and might just charge a little extra.

A dentist can charge anything from £400 upwards whereas a newly trained whitening technician can go as low as £89 or lower, the decision you have to make is who do you choose to go with, maybe somewhere in the middle, look for a dental nurse with experience charging £150 upwards, that's a fair price to pay.
