Teeth Whitening is commonly known as tooth bleaching, which is a non-invasive simple, painless and effective procedure done by the dentists to brighten and whiten your natural teeth.

There are different reasons for whitening the teeth, some of them could be stained teeth due to smoking, medication and fluorosis due to too much fluoride during the tooth formation.

There are two ways to achieve the whitening of teeth:

• In chair teeth whitening – approximately takes one hour in the chair with the dentist
• Take home tooth whitening kit – takes about 30 minutes with the dentist.

All other fillings are left, till the whitening is finished and then changed after the procedure. Upper and lower impressions of your teeth are taken.
