Tooth Whitening: Tooth whitening is the process of making teeth lighter and brighter in color. Tooth whitening may be achieved by whitening tooth paste, at-home or in-office bleaching. Whiteners may not correct all types of discoloration. If you have had dental fillings placed in your front teeth, the whitener will not affect these materials. You may want to investigate other options such as veneers or bonding.

Accelerates nature: Teeth whitening involves using a very mild acid to break down the very outer layer of the enamel. Then as it reforms it is kept from being restained by wearing the trays or avoiding staining foods and drinks until the outer surface is hard again. It accelerates the natural process our teeth go through all the time. That is how our teeth get stained in the first place.
