Teeth Whitening

Teeth can become discolored or stained over time due to factors such as aging, smoking, consuming certain foods and drinks, and taking certain medications. Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that involves the use of special gels, liquids, or lasers to lighten and brighten the color of teeth. There are several types of teeth whitening available, including in-office whitening, take-home whitening kits, and over-the-counter whitening products. In-office whitening is the most effective and fastest option.

It is important to consult with a dentist before undergoing any teeth whitening procedure, as some methods may not be suitable for all patients. Patients with dental restorations, such as fillings or crowns, may require special considerations, as whitening agents may not be effective on these materials.

Teeth whitening is generally safe and well-tolerated, although some patients may experience temporary sensitivity or discomfort during or after the procedure. Contact our office today if you’re interested in teeth whitening.
