Teeth Whitening

What is Teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a basic, non-obtrusive dental treatment used to change the colour of common tooth enamel and is a perfect approach to upgrading the magnificence of your smile.

Since having brighter teeth has is a big concern to patients, there are various approaches to this problem. The most popular is the take home teeth whitening system. This will change the colour of your teeth significantly. Since teeth whitening works only with regular tooth enamel, it is critical to assess substitution of any old fillings, crowns, and so on. Any repairs that need to be done will be done after whitening so they will coordinate the recently whitened teeth.

Teeth brightening is temporary. A touch-up will be required like clockwork, and more regularly if you smoke, consume coffee, wine or tea.

Teeth whitening can fix:

• Fluorosis (fluoridation causes discoloration).
• Normal wear of the external tooth layer.
• Stained teeth because of prescriptions (tetracycline, and so on.).
• Yellowing from smoking or beverages such as tea or coffee.
