Teeth Whitening
Professionally supervised brightening for everyday stains.
Overview
Understanding teeth whitening
Professional whitening uses supervised concentrations of peroxide gel to lift stains from coffee, tea, wine, and time.
Because a dentist evaluates your teeth first, whitening is only recommended when enamel and gums are healthy and existing restorations are accounted for.
