Modern methods of professional teeth whitening, whose shade is far from ideal due to external factors or genetics, are characterized by almost complete painlessness, safety and a fairly high aesthetic result. This is where their popularity lies.
Today we will talk about one of the most advanced achievements in the field of clinical dentistry - cold light whitening.
Let's talk about what this procedure is and what are the features of its implementation in more detail.
The essence of the technique
This procedure is based on the use of a gel component with a unique chemical composition that qualitatively brightens the surface of the enamel using directed radiation exposure, activating the activity of the chemical components. The composition is based on hydrogen peroxide.
Passing through a large number of filters, infrared and ultraviolet spectral fluxes from the beam emanating from the lamp are neutralized, thus whitening with cold light occurs.
The tooth does not heat up, and the patient does not feel anything at all. Cold lightening is the most gentle way to restore your smile to its former attractiveness.
Lamp teeth whitening - the essence of the method
It would be incorrect to say that teeth whitening with an LED lamp occurs due to the light it produces. In fact, light cannot affect tooth enamel. Its use is aimed at creating a chemical reaction between the reagent used and the pigments that are inside the enamel and color it.
The reagent is a special gel in the formula, which contains hydrogen peroxide in high concentration. Thanks to light exposure, a special form of oxygen with a highly active effect begins to form from it, which penetrates into the tooth tissue, oxidizing pigments. Thus, the light emanating from the lamp is a kind of catalyst, which stimulates the chemical process. The main advantage of this procedure is the low temperature of light waves. This allows the whitening procedure to be carried out painlessly for the patient and without harming the tooth enamel.
Advantages and disadvantages
As noted by doctors and patients who practice this method of restoring the whiteness of the jaw row, the technique has the following advantages:
- the procedure does not violate the structural surface and integrity of the enamel;
- visible results are achieved quite quickly;
- the duration of the session, including preparation, does not exceed 50-60 minutes;
- high lightening rate - about 8-10 tones;
- absence of physical discomfort at the time of manipulation;
- ease of implementation;
- complete absence of side effects and recurrent manifestations;
- the effect lasts for 10-12 months.
The disadvantages include the high cost of the procedure, as well as the presence of a large number of contraindications.
Some experts talk about effective limitations - with a natural gray tint, the system may be powerless and the effect will not be noticeable at all.
Indications and restrictions
Indications for the cold whitening procedure are visible darkening, change in shade, pigmentation of tooth enamel, both general and fragmented.
Darkening can be caused by the negative influence of nicotine tar, tea, coffee, drinks and juices. Often the cause of color loss is poor oral hygiene, and, as a result, plaque and tartar.
In addition, the patient may be recommended this method as an alternative option to give a snow-white appearance to teeth that naturally have a yellowish or gray tint. True, the effect in this case may be less pronounced.
Despite the almost absolute safety of the technique for the human body, it is not recommended, and sometimes even extremely undesirable, in the following situations:
- pregnancy at all stages of its course;
- lactation period;
- age restrictions - too young or, on the contrary, old age of the patient. This can damage the structural integrity of the enamel, which is not yet sufficiently formed during childhood, and is physiologically weakened in old age;
- tendency of teeth to wear out;
- in the presence of diabetes mellitus;
- in case of respiratory dysfunction;
- when diagnosing neoplasms of a malignant nature of formation - regardless of the degree and stage of disease progression;
- with a tendency to intolerance to certain groups of medications;
- dental diagnoses, such as caries;
- partial destruction of the surface layer of hard organ tissue;
- a large number of fillings, dentures, crowns and implantation systems - artificial materials after bleaching will not turn white, but will retain their original color and will be noticeable against the background of general bleaching. They will need to be changed;
- pathologically thin enamel - if this fact is ignored, the tooth may begin to decay.
What is the Doctor Smile whitening procedure and the equipment used.

What effect can be achieved with photobleaching?
The main advantage of the method is the opportunity to get the smile of your dreams quickly and with virtually no risk to dental health. It is only important to trust an experienced professional who is fluent in the technology of the procedure.
“I once whitened my teeth using zoom technology, and I liked the result. The enamel became much whiter, but for several days after that there was sensitivity. The doctor immediately warned me about this, but I didn’t think it was so inconvenient. On the other hand, there was no obvious pain, just discomfort. So what to do? Beauty requires sacrifice".
Kulikova, from correspondence on the woman.ru forum
Judging by numerous patient reviews, obvious disadvantages include increased sensitivity of the enamel and its acute reactions to external stimuli. But the unpleasant sensations completely disappear 2-3 days after bleaching. In some patients, discomfort continues for a week. Another disadvantage is that not all types of photobleaching are capable of highlighting the consequences of non-carious lesions, such as hypoplasia or fluorosis. In such situations, experts usually recommend artistic restoration with light composites, installation of veneers or lumineers.
The procedure cannot be used for dental fluorosis.
It should also be noted that using the methods described above it is impossible to whiten fillings, crowns and dentures - they will have to be replaced with new ones that exactly match the color of the new shade of the smile.
In order for the effect to last as long as possible, after the procedure it is important to maintain a high level of hygiene, regularly brush your teeth and undergo a professional examination. hygiene at the dentist, and also limit the consumption of coloring foods and drinks. If possible, it is advisable to completely give up coffee and cigarettes. Remember that you should not whiten your teeth too often - this can lead to severe thinning of the enamel and other serious problems.
Types of lamps
For the cold light whitening procedure, systems from various manufacturers are used. Top sellers - USA.
Their products are reliable and durable, but they cost an order of magnitude more than their Chinese counterparts, most of which provide good technical and power performance at a budget price. All models are united by security during the session.
The most common types of lamps in domestic clinics and dental salons are:
- LED TE-600 - the device is compact and compatible with any compositions suitable for cold lightening. Two intensity modes, convenient fastenings. Low cost. Comes with 6 blue lamps. Made in China;
- C-Bright-II is intended only for whitening in clinical settings. Illuminates the upper and lower jaw simultaneously. Has several light intensity modes. Equipped with an LED screen panel, mounted in any position, including on a dental unit;
- Double White – capable of producing lightening on each jaw separately. The light beam is soft blue. A distinctive feature is increased control functionality, a safe design solution that guarantees protection for both the doctor and the client;
- Beyond Power Whitening System – accelerator system.
High power halogens, unique light filters with 30 protective layers. Reduces lightening time to half an hour. The flows pass through more than 12 thousand fibers, completely neutralizing the negative effects of ultraviolet waves; - Beyond Polus is a unique patented development.
Bleaching is carried out from a source located at the rear of the structure, which ensures uniform coverage and complete UV neutralization. A specific wavelength refracts light and cuts the spectrum of the cold beam at a distance safe from the area of the treated area. To date, it has no analogue offers.
Home whitening
Home whitening is a fairly common type of hygiene care. The modern market offers a fairly wide range of whitening products that differ in effectiveness and price range. It is worth considering that all home remedies, both improvised and manufactured in industrial conditions, will not allow you to achieve the same dramatic results that can be obtained with professional whitening in a clinic.
In addition, with careless and extremely intensive use of such products, there is a high probability of causing serious damage to tooth enamel and nearby tissues. This is due to the abrasives contained in pastes and other bleaching agents and the presence of irritating components, such as hydrogen peroxide. With frequent use, abrasive particles can thin the enamel and leave microdamages, which become a favorable environment for the accumulation of bacteria and staining particles. Hydrogen peroxide, if used incorrectly, can seriously injure mucous membranes, leaving burns and irritation.
The most popular home whitening products are toothpastes with a whitening effect, gels, trays and pencils.
When choosing which teeth whitening is the safest and most effective , you need to understand that it is almost impossible to achieve high results without the risk of damaging the enamel or the tooth as a whole at home. That is why it is more advisable to entrust this procedure to professional doctors.
If we talk about the safest teeth whitening in a dental office, then it is hardly possible to answer this question unambiguously, since any method has its pros and cons. The choice of whitening method is selected individually and is based on many aspects and nuances.
Techniques
All technologies used in domestic clinics are foreign developments and equipment.
Unfortunately, we don’t yet have our own analog systems—hence the high cost of the service. Let's consider the most popular systems:
- Beyond Polus – created using unique Light Bridge technology.
It is based on the use of halogen lamps. This eliminates the negative impact on the patient’s body of ultraviolet radiation used during standard enamel lightening. Moreover, it does not heat the surface and ensures the most uniform distribution of the composition; - Luma Cool is the most famous and popular system in Europe, but extremely limited here. It is the only patented technology in the world that allows you to use diode lamps rather than halogen lamps during a session.
- Amazing White – a novelty in the world of dentistry. Activates chemical processes thanks to the LED lamp.
The assortment line of this product is so diverse that it offers the consumer mini-kits for home use.Undoubtedly, their effectiveness will be an order of magnitude lower than salon whitening, but they are quite suitable as intermediate procedures. Representatives of this brand are systems with violet, red and blue light fluxes.

Expert “In order for the enamel lightening effect to last for a long time, you need to follow a diet and maintain the result at home. Stop smoking, drinking red wine, berries and sauces. This must be done at least in the first few weeks after the procedure. Don’t forget to thoroughly clean your mouth from food debris and undergo professional hygiene every six months. Consult your dentist about what means you can use to secure the results. For example, these could be individual mouth guards with gel.” Dental hygienist Victoria Nikolaevna Kashaeva

Preparation Basics
The whitening technique necessarily requires preliminary preparation. There is nothing complicated in this process, but its necessity is obvious:
- a thorough examination of the oral cavity - eliminating foci of inflammation, dental diagnoses, bringing periodontal tissues to a normal state;
- removing plaque and rocky deposits - this will enhance the effect of the gel mass and improve the final result;
- evaluation of the original color using a special tonality ruler;
- providing the patient with protective equipment and installing a special device - a retractor. This prevents accidental contact of unnecessary fragments on the mucous membrane or eyes and will increase the safety of the manipulation.
Sequencing
Regardless of which system the procedure will be performed, cold whitening technology includes the following sequential stages of the dentist’s actions:
- The gel composition is carefully applied to the surface of the jaw row and evenly distributed - this is an active brightener;
- turn on the lamp and direct it to the frontal smile area . Typically, such radiation exposure lasts from 10 to 15 minutes;
- after this, the specialist evaluates the result and, if necessary, carries out several more series of surface treatments with a lamp;
- At the end of the manipulation, the remaining gel is removed , and the patient is given detailed advice and recommendations for further dental care.
If a poor result is obtained, a repeat session can be performed no earlier than after 7-10 days.
The video shows the process of the procedure.
Advice from Dr. Zubastik
Chemical whitening is one of the ways to achieve a snow-white smile. It does not cause any frightening consequences when carried out in the dentist’s office, after treating all foci of inflammation and sanitizing the oral cavity. The result is visible immediately and lasts up to 3 years.
But in order not to negate the effect of the procedure, follow the doctor’s advice that he gave for home use. For a couple of days, do not eat anything coloring, do not drink cold or hot.
I have a cautious attitude towards home whitening. Not everyone can independently determine whether this method is suitable for them. Possible damage to enamel and gum tissue. I believe that the best thing a person can do to achieve a great smile and maintain healthy teeth is to visit a dentist in a timely manner, who will perform the procedures that he deems necessary.

Useful tips
Those who want the effect to last as long as possible should follow the dentist’s advice regarding care:
- Carry out daily teeth cleaning more thoroughly , use only professional products;
- purchase an irrigator - with it, daily procedures will become better;
- adjust your diet - minimize the consumption of drinks and foods that contain coloring pigments;
- stop smoking;
- After each meal, rinse your mouth with special care products.
Expected Result
Experts claim a fairly effective range of enamel lightening - from 6 to 10 tones, especially since if the result is poor, the manipulation can be repeated, and the number of sessions per visit can be increased.
Organs whose color is not snow-white due to genetics are somewhat less susceptible to bleaching. Naturally gray or yellow teeth are the most difficult to lighten.
The result is stored for about a year, after which the process can be repeated.
Prices
The cost of a service is difficult to determine unambiguously - even the region of residence of the patient and the status of the clique play a significant role in the issue of pricing.
The determining factor is the technique used during the session:
- Beyond Polus – 10-18 thousand rubles;
- Luma Cool – 8000—22000;
- Amazing White – 11 thousand.
In addition, the entire range of preliminary manipulations is not included in the total cost of the service - you will have to pay for them separately, depending on the volume of work performed.

- It all depends on the clinical situation, the patient’s expectations and his financial capabilities.

I just have very sensitive teeth. I had it cleaned at the clinic, but it didn’t really help change the shade. I want more whitening effect...

Reviews
The cold whitening procedure is non-aggressive, safe and painless. However, you should not rely on these factors unconditionally; the list of restrictions is quite long.
Before deciding on cold light whitening, you should definitely consult with a specialist.
