Teeth whitening procedures use a bleaching agent to lighten teeth which have become discolored over time. Teeth whitening is recommended for teeth which have become discolored over time. Discoloration can be caused by smoking, poor dental hygiene, and certain foods or drinks such as red wine or coffee.
There is a variety of teeth whitening methods available, and these options vary for each patient. For dead teeth (teeth which have no nerve), normal whitening will not work as the discoloration is inside the tooth. In this case, dentists can bleach the tooth from the inside. For external discoloration, many dentists offer laser teeth whitening, which uses a light to accelerate the bleaching process for instant results.
