Eventually stains penetrate deep inside the teeth making it difficult to whiten them with conventional methods. Our Cozumel dentists offer advanced technologies to clean the teeth and return your smile to its beautiful whiteness.

The technologies available in Cozumel are the same technologies used by dentists in North America – there is no sub-standard equipment or inferior quality materials. There are an assortment of different laser whitening systems on the market, including Brite Smile and Zoom! All equally as effective, the system your dentist has is purely down to their own personal preferences – not because their system in inferior.

Of course the benefits to your appearance of having whiter teeth are immeasurable, but the benefits to your bank account by coming to Cozumel for your teeth whitening procedure are more so.

How long does Teeth Whitening take in Cozumel?

Laser Teeth Whitening

Laser teeth whitening takes around 2 hours at your dental clinic. The procedure is straightforward. Before treatment starts your dentist will use a chart to check the shade of your teeth. Your teeth will then be cleaned to remove stains and tartar and your mouth prepared so that only your teeth and not the soft tissues are exposed to the bleaching gel. You will be asked to wear protective goggles to shield your eyes from the laser. 

After the preparations the bleaching gel is applied to the teeth and exposed to the laser. After a 15 minute wait the gel is removed and the process repeated two more times. After the last time all traces of the gel will be removed and the results checked against the shade chart. You can expect the color to be dramatically different.

Professional Home Whitening Kits

These are suitable for using at home but provide a much more subtle lightening effect. Your dentist will need to take impressions of your teeth for custom-fit trays to be made. The bleaching gel is put into the trays which are fitted over the teeth for a few hours (or overnight) each day.

You can continue the treatment until you are happy with the results. Professional home whitening kits are also an excellent of keeping your smile white if you have had laser teeth whitening too.

Even though you will only need one or two appointments with your dentist you may have to stay for up to 5 days while the trays are being made.
