Quick, Easy Laser Teeth Whitening for Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Panama City

Teeth Whitening, and laser teeth whitening in particular, has become an extremely popular procedure in the Destin, Fort Walton Beach and Panama City areas. After all, who wouldn’t want flash their pearly whites as they play on the shores of the Emerald Coast? The trouble is that, over time, it is inevitable that our teeth become discolored by coffee, tea, soft drinks, tobacco, and the natural effects of aging. That is why Dr. Dennis Lichorwic offers a variety of teeth whitening options at his Destin practice to meet each individual’s special needs and time constraints.

Dr. Lichorwic proudly features the Zoom! Advanced Power® laser teeth whitening system at his Destin office to patients from Panama City, Fort Walton Beach, and surrounding communities. Zoom! Advanced Power® is a light activated teeth whitening system that is capable of whitening teeth up to 8 shades in just one hour. Dr. Lichorwic gives each patient a thorough examination prior to treatment to determine if the patient’s teeth and gums are healthy enough to undergo bleaching. After the examination, Dr. Lichorwic applies a hydrogen peroxide gel to the teeth. A low-heat Zoom! Advanced Power® laser shines on the teeth and activates the hydrogen, which allows the oxygen to penetrate the teeth and bleach the enamel. The bleaching process is followed by a five-minute fluoride treatment. In about an hour, the patient has a new glowing smile.

If you do not have the time for an in-office application of the Zoom! Advanced Power® laser teeth whitening system, Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Panama City and Emerald Coast residents can ask us to prepare a take-home application. We send you home with a customized tray for your teeth and a special prescription-strength gel. Dr. Lichorwic recommends users wear the trays overnight or for at least three hours a day. The more you wear the trays with the bleaching gel, the more dramatic results you attain. Patients commonly wear the trays for 1-3 weeks or until they achieve the desired effect. The take-home trays are perfectly suited for patients who crave a gleaming white smile but whose hectic schedules won’t accommodate their wishes.

Laser teeth whitening is the latest in smile enhancement technology. If your teeth are starting to succumb to the unavoidable effects of time and other sources of discoloration, contact Dr. Lichorwic to find out more about the teeth whitening options available to Destin, Fort Walton Beach, and Panama City residents.
