What is teeth whitening?

Teeth whitening is an effective cosmetic dental procedure that helps lighten the color of your stained teeth. Professional whitening can quickly remove surface stains to brighten the color of your natural teeth.

What is involved in professional teeth whitening?

Professional teeth whitening is performed by a cosmetic dentist. Before starting the whitening procedure, the cosmetic dentist would ensure that teeth are free of bacteria or any plaque. As the dentist starts the procedure, it begins by placing a gel or a rubber shield over the gums to protect them against the teeth whitening gel. The cosmetic dentist would then apply the whitening product to the surface of the teeth. Hydrogen Peroxide or Carbamide Peroxide is the active ingredient present in the whitening product. As these ingredients break down, the Oxygen molecules absorb into the enamel and hence allows to lighten the color of your teeth.

You can continue to use the whitening gel even after months of application. Teeth whitening can also be performed at home.
