What is teeth whitening
Teeth whitening is an aesthetic procedure that seeks to clarify and beautify teeth by removing stains and color changes produced by different factors such as coffee, tea, cigarette usage, and the passage of time.
The whitening procedure can include hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide as the principal ingredients, which are triggered by lights that can be zoom, LED, or laser.
Whitening can be conducted in dental offices by qualified professionals or at home using teeth whitening kits, always under the supervision of the dentist.
Depending on the whitening option chosen, we may perform the treatment in a different manner. The most important thing to remember is that an aesthetic technique such as teeth whitening should not be attempted without the guidance of a professional.
