Tooth bleaching involves the placement of a bleaching solution on the teeth to eliminate stains and discoloration. The solution is held in place by a custom-made, see-through tray that fits over the teeth - much like a mouthpiece worn by a professional boxer.
Bleaching is a safe, effective and relatively easy means of producing a whiter smile.
Two bleaching methods are available: In-Office Bleaching and At-Home-Bleaching, which provides for home use (not to be confused with over-the-counter bleaching products available in your local drug store).
The difference between the two is the strength of the whitening agent and
the time it takes to get effective results.
Sensitive teeth, or those that are chipped, eroded or weakened by cavities, should be repaired or protected before they are bleached.
