Teeth whitening (bleaching) is the process of lightening the color of teeth that have discolored for various reasons — coloring agents in food and drinks, cigarettes, and aging — using dentist-supervised whitening systems.
What are the teeth whitening methods?
There are different methods to whiten teeth. The first is professional in-office whitening with the help of a dentist; the other is home whitening applied under the dentist's guidance. Recent studies have shown that using both methods together is necessary for effective whitening: even if the whitening is performed in-office, home whitening supports the permanence of the color.

Book an AppointmentResults vary: some teeth whiten in a shorter time, while others may require one or two more sessions. The more yellowing rather than graying your teeth have, the better the whitening result. Graying caused by antibiotic use is harder to whiten and may require a longer process.
Porcelain crowns and bridges do not whiten — they may need to be replaced to match the color of your newly whitened teeth.
After whitening, stay away from tea, coffee, cigarettes, cola, red wine, acidic drinks and colored foods for about 48 hours (ideally 7-10 days), because the whitening effect continues in the dentin tubules.
Studies have shown that dentist-supervised whitening systems cause no harm. What damages teeth are the unsupervised whitening products sold in pharmacies. Post-whitening fluoride applications by your dentist make the procedure even safer.
