title: Laser tooth whitening.
abstract: Cosmetic and adhesive dentistry has not only increased patients' self-esteem and confidence, it has increased their awareness of the value of healthy teeth and gums. White teeth have always been a high priority with patients. Creating and maintaining white teeth, however, has not always been easily achieved. The recent development of laser-assisted tooth whitening procedures makes it easier, faster, non-invasive, and affordable for patients to have whiter teeth.
