What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth Bleaching is an effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without removing any of the tooth surfaces. It cannot make a complete colour change, but it will lighten the existing shade of your teeth.
Why would I need my teeth whitened?
There are a number of reasons why you might need dental whitening. Very few people have brilliant-white natural teeth. Your teeth can also become more discoloured as you get older. They can also be stained on the surface by food and drinks such as tea, coffee, medications and smoking.
Teeth-whitening products that break up stains into smaller pieces making your teeth two to three shades lighter, can make a noticeable difference to a smile.
What are my Teeth Whitening options?
You can get your teeth whitened with
1) In-office (Chairside) teeth whitening or
2) Take-home teeth whitening kit.
In-office (Chairside) Teeth Whitening system
