Dental Bleaching – Smile Whitening

Dental bleaching is another name for tooth whitening.

With age, teeth often darken because of changes in structure. Teeth can also be stained by various foods, tobacco, even certain antibiotics.

Amongst the methods used are bleaching strips, pens and gels, as well as lasers.

In-home whitening is usually done with a gel and guard trays worn at night.

Bleaching effects are not permanent but last typically some months. In this case you can continue bleaching under your doctor’s supervision.

Where bleaching is inadequate, veneers and bonding can be used.
