Teeth Whitening

Bleaching or teeth whitening can lighten your teeth. It can be done in surgery or at home with our take home kits. It is a safe procedure but may not be suitable for certain individuals who have on-going oral diseases. It cannot lighten existing fillings and may make hypersensitive teeth more sensitive

Tooth whitening or tooth bleaching is the process of lightening the color of human teeth. Whitening is often desirable when teeth become yellowed over time for a number of reasons, and can be achieved by changing the intrinsic or extrinsic color of the tooth enamel. The actual whitening process involves the dentist applying a gel made of 15% to 35% hydrogen peroxide to your front teeth. Hydrogen peroxide can penetrate the porous outer layer of your teeth and break apart stain compounds using a chemical reaction called oxidation.
