Tooth Whitening: Depending on the cause of your dark or stained teeth (surface stains due to smoking, coffee, etc or genetically dark teeth), there are a number of options available to you. Whitening products together with a professional cleaning may do the trick, whereas inherently dark teeth may require porcelain laminates. See a local dentist for advice as to what will work for you.

Peroxide: All whitening systems involve peroxide, which strips the surface layer of enamel, dries out the tooth and exposed the enamel to the whitening properties of peroxide. Over the counter whitening products are designed with small concentration of peroxide, while dental offices usually offer higher concentrations that can be used in custom trays or painted onto teeth in conjunction with UV activation
