Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental treatment that helps remove stains and discoloration from teeth, giving patients a brighter and more attractive smile. Over time, teeth may become stained due to coffee, tea, wine, tobacco use, certain foods, aging, or poor oral hygiene. Professional teeth whitening treatments performed by dentists use safe and effective whitening agents that penetrate the enamel and break down deep stains.

The procedure is simple and typically completed in a single dental visit. During the treatment, the dentist applies a protective barrier to the gums and places a professional-strength whitening gel on the teeth. In some cases, a special light or laser may be used to enhance the whitening process and speed up the results.
