Dazzling teeth in one treatment

A dazzling white smile makes all the difference to your overall beauty. It is one of those things that instantly transforms you from a five or a six to a nine or 10.

The quickest, most effective ways to change the colour of your teeth from a dull non-descript shade to dazzling white is by laser whitening.

The Saturday beauty team paid a visit to Dr Oliver Wala, a specialist in cosmetic and general dentistry, as he demonstrated the procedure on a patient.

Firstly, a shade guide was used to check the level of darkening on the teeth. This was followed by an application of protective gel on the gums.

The whitening solution was then carefully applied to the teeth. The laser was used for some time to begin the whitening process.

The process was completed by a thorough cleansing of the teeth and mouth. The change showed pearly white teeth. The effect will last for a year and beyond.

Dr. Wala offered the following tips to keep the teeth white after the process:

Avoid using abrasive tooth cleaning products as they wear down the enamel, exposing the yellow dentine.

Brush teeth soon after consuming dark drinks such as tea, coffee and cola.
