Overview
What Is Teeth Whitening?
Yellowing and staining of the teeth can result from genetics, dietary habits, or smoking, among other factors, leading to a less-than-bright smile.
In-office teeth whitening uses a special gel and light activation — with the gums fully protected — to lighten the natural tooth shade by several tones. It's a fast, controlled method.
