Whitening is the process of removal of tooth discoloration that occurs in nature. There are a number of reasons why you might get your teeth whitened. Everyone is different; and just as our hair and skin colour vary, so do our teeth. Very few people have brilliant-white teeth, and our teeth can also become more discoloured as we get older.

Home Bleaching
- Dentist has an impression , then rubber plates are prepared for use on the teeth.
- The bleaching material is placed into the plate and the patient uses it about 6-8 hours a day.
