What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to lighten the color of your teeth by removing stains and discoloration. It involves using professional-grade whitening agents for safe and effective results.
How does Teeth Whitening work?
The procedure starts with applying a protective gel or barrier to shield your gums. A whitening agent is then applied to the teeth, which breaks down stains through a chemical process. Some treatments use light or laser technology to enhance the results.
