Teeth Whitening Treatment

Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile. Whitening is a conservative way to address stained teeth or the darkening of teeth that come with age.
Because having whiter teeth has become the number one esthetic concern of most patients, there are several ways to whiten teeth. There are at-home teeth whitening systems and in-office whitening treatments that will lighten teeth dramatically. Since teeth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is essential to evaluate the replacement of any existing dental work. Replacement of restorations can be done after bleaching to match the newly lightened teeth.
Teeth whitening is not permanent. A touch-up may be needed occasionally and more often if you smoke or drink coffee, tea, or wine.
