Professional teeth whitening
After reviewing the causes of tooth stains and
discolorations, various options for teeth whitening will be presented.
Alternatives range from professional teeth whitening systems using bleaching
lasers and administered by cosmetic dentists, to at-home teeth bleaching products
using whitening gels and trays. Whitening is the most commonly prescribed
method for treating moderately stained or discolored teeth. Teeth whitening
procedures, commonly referred to as bleaching, use chemicals to enhance your
smile by lightening the shade of your teeth and reducing discolorations in the
enamel. Since dental insurance rarely
covers cosmetic dentistry in general and teeth whitening in particular, we will
also look at ways of saving money on bleaching and effectively reducing
treatment costs.
