Teeth Whitening

What is Teeth Whitening?

Almost all teeth whitening products, whether over-the-counter, or professionally performed or supervised, contain the active ingredient carbamide peroxide. Dark teeth are dark for a number of reasons, including: age, genetics, diet, hygiene practices, smoking, coffee, wine, medications, and soda pop consumption.

Then...

...and Now!

Teeth whitening reverses the natural darkening in your teeth. Teeth whitening has become one of the simplest and most popular cosmetic procedures in dentistry today. This revolutionary dental technique effectively provides a fast and painless way for patients to achieve a beautiful white smile. There are several professional whitening procedures, both in office (so called “laser” whitening) and at home, which can be used to enhance your smile.

Numerous over-the-counter brands have also become available. While these lack the success and staying power that professional versions have, they have nonetheless educated the marketplace and have given us one more way toward that “perfect” smile.
