Teeth whitening is popular way to enhance the appearance of your smile through a cosmetic dental procedure that lightens the shade of your teeth and removes stains and discoloration.

It’s very important to consult with a dental professional before undergoing any teeth whitening procedure to determine the best option for your individual needs and to ensure the health of your teeth and gums. They can also advise on realistic expectations and any potential side effects like temporary tooth sensitivity.

Teeth whitening typically involves using bleaching agents, most commonly hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which penetrate the porous enamel of the tooth and break down discolored molecules within the enamel and underlying detin through an oxidation process. The colored compounds become smaller and the discoloration less concentrated, making the teeth appear whiter.

Our friendly dentists can assess your oral health, determine the cause of discoloration, and recommend the most suitable and safe whitening option for you.
