Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that helps remove stains and discoloration from the surface of the teeth, giving you a brighter and more confident smile. Over time, teeth can become discolored due to factors such as aging, coffee, tea, smoking, or certain foods. Professional teeth whitening performed by a dentist is a safe and effective method that uses specialized bleaching agents to lighten tooth color several shades brighter. Depending on your preference, whitening can be done in-office for instant results or with custom take-home kits provided by the dentist.
