Tooth Whitening Treatment is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to lighten the color of your teeth, removing stains and discoloration to enhance the brightness of your smile. This treatment can be done in-office by a dental professional or through at-home kits provided by your dentist.
Whitening agents penetrate the enamel to break down stains caused by food, drinks, tobacco, and aging. The oxygen molecules in the whitening agents react with the discolored molecules in your teeth, breaking the bonds that hold them, resulting in a lighter color.
Unlike other cosmetic dental procedures, tooth whitening is non-invasive and does not alter the structure of the teeth, making it a popular choice for improving the aesthetics of a smile.
