Tooth Whitening (Bleaching)

Tooth whitening is a successful and simple method of lightening the colour of your teeth. Teeth yellow with age but drinking tea, coffee and colas all speed up this process. Smoking and other staining agents will also contribute to darkening of the teeth. The whitening technique gradually removes the staining agent that has penetrated the teeth. The degree of whiteness achieved will vary from patient to patient and with the type of bleaching process chosen. We can advise upon the suitability of treatment based upon your tooth and gum condition. Bleaching is a common and popular process used to whiten teeth. Some people get their teeth bleached to make stains disappear, while other just want a whiter shade. Discoloration occurs in the enamel and can be caused by medication, coffee, tea and cigarettes. Discoloration also can be hereditary or due simply to getting older.
