Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental procedure that helps to lighten the color of the teeth. This process removes stains and discoloration caused by various factors, such as aging, consumption of staining substances like coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco, or poor dental hygiene. Teeth whitening is a form of dentistry and should only be carried out by a dentist or another regulated dental professional, such as a dental hygienist or dental therapist, on the prescription of a dentist.

Benefits

• Improved Appearance: A brighter smile can boost confidence and make a person appear more youthful.
• Quick Results: Professional whitening can provide noticeable results in just one session.
• Non-Invasive: It is a relatively simple and painless procedure.

Considerations

• Sensitivity: Some patients may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation.
• Maintenance: Whitening is not permanent. Touch-ups and good oral hygiene are needed to maintain results.
• Effectiveness: Results can vary depending on the type of discoloration and the individual’s teeth.
