This a process that will make teeth appear whiter if they are discolored. Approaches to whiten your smile include in-office bleaching, at home bleaching and whitening toothpastes.
In-office whitening is done in the dental office using stronger bleaching agents than are available for home use. The dentist will apply either a protective gel to your gums or a rubber dam shield to protect your oral soft tissue. A bleaching agent is then applied to the teeth, and a special light may be used to activate the bleaching agent.
There are several types of products available for home bleaching, which can be dispensed by your dentist or purchased over-the-counter. A bleaching product actually changes the natural tooth color and a non bleaching product, like whitening toothpaste, helps removed surface stains.
