If you are unhappy with the “color” of your smile, tooth whitening may be a perfect solution. As we age our teeth discolor for a variety of reasons, causing a dingy smile. But, most stains are easily removed. The active ingredient in tooth whiteners is peroxide. When applied, the peroxide breaks down allowing oxygen to enter your teeth to remove the unwanted color, without harming the structure of your teeth. The result - a beautiful smile. It is important to take the condition of your teeth into account before starting a whitening program. If you have veneers, bonding or implants, they will not respond to the whitening soluiton and will need to be adjusted once the bleaching is complete.
