Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure aimed at lightening the natural color of teeth without removing any surface or structure. It works by using bleaching agents, such as hydrogen peroxide, to break down stains and discoloration caused by food, drinks, and lifestyle habits like smoking. The process can be done professionally by a dentist or at home using over-the-counter kits. Teeth whitening enhances the brightness of a smile, contributing to an improved overall appearance.
Why Choose Teeth Whitening?
Here are four reasons to choose teeth whitening:
Teeth whitening enhances the brightness of your smile, giving a more youthful and polished look.
A whiter smile often leads to increased self-esteem, making people feel more comfortable in social and professional settings.
It effectively eliminates stubborn stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, and smoking, restoring teeth to their natural color.
Teeth whitening is a simple, painless, and non-invasive cosmetic treatment, making it a convenient option for a quick smile enhancement.

Consultation and Evaluation
A dentist evaluates the patient’s teeth to ensure they are suitable for whitening and identifies any underlying issues that may need addressing first.
Application of Whitening Agent
A bleaching agent, typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, is applied to the surface of the teeth. This can be done in-office for faster results or with at-home kits for gradual whitening.
Activation
In professional treatments, a special light or laser may be used to activate the whitening agent, enhancing its ability to break down stains.
Stain Breakdown
The bleaching agent penetrates the enamel, breaking down the molecules that cause discoloration, leading to visibly whiter teeth over time.
