TRADITIONAL TEETH WHITENING

traditional teeth whitening


Teeth whitening is a common procedure with over 90% of people surveyed expressing that is the one thing they would most like to improve about their smile. The good news is that teeth whitening is a simple cosmetic procedure designed to remove stains and discoloration within the teeth. The level of whiteness that can be achieved by teeth bleaching will depend on the level of discoloration of the teeth and what led to the staining.


Teeth that are brown or yellow due to coffee, tea, or smoking will generally lighten four to five shades. Teeth darken over time from many things including food, drink, tobacco use, age, trauma, and certain medications. If you are interested in brightening your smile give us a call!
