Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental procedure designed to brighten teeth and remove stains or discoloration. Over time, teeth may become stained due to coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco use, aging, certain medications, or poor oral hygiene. Professional teeth whitening treatments offered by dentists use safe and effective whitening agents that penetrate the enamel to break down stains and lighten the natural color of teeth.

The procedure is simple, quick, and often completed in a single dental visit. A protective barrier is placed over the gums to protect soft tissues, and a professional-grade whitening gel is applied to the teeth. In some cases, a special light may be used to enhance the whitening process and deliver faster results.
