Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental procedure aimed at lightening the color of the teeth and removing stains and discoloration. It is a non-invasive treatment that can dramatically improve the appearance of a smile. Teeth whitening can be performed in a dental office by a dentist or at home using over-the-counter whitening products or custom-made trays provided by a dental professional. The most common whitening agents used are hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which break down stains into smaller, less visible particles. While teeth whitening is generally safe and effective, it may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with underlying dental conditions such as cavities or gum disease. Additionally, results can vary depending on the extent of staining and the method used.
