Teeth whitening uses peroxide-based gels to lighten stains on natural tooth enamel. It can be done in the clinic in one visit or at home with custom trays from your dentist. It does not change the colour of crowns, fillings or veneers.
General and cosmetic dentists provide professional whitening. A dental exam first helps rule out cavities or gum problems that could make whitening uncomfortable.
