Teeth Whitening

Having a bright and lustrous smile is what we all dream of. A dedicated cosmetic dental procedure known as teeth whitening can help remove stains and lighten the shade of badly discolored teeth. With cutting edge technology and proven formulas, teeth whitening can improve how your teeth look. A cosmetic dentist is specialized to cater to such dental needs and can help you enhance the color of your teeth.

The hardest part of our teeth is the enamel that is capable of entrapping and sedimenting minute particles. Teeth attain its natural color as light reflects off this surface thereby contributing color and appearance. Thinner enamels are known to better color than rough ones and appear more stained if not cleaned properly.

Some of the common reasons behind teeth staining are the usage of tobacco, consumption of dark-colored beverages such as coffee, tea, wine, and improper practice of oral hygiene.
