Teeth Whitening: How Is Care Planned?
The cause of discolouration, tooth and gum health and existing restorations are assessed.
Existing crowns and fillings do not whiten like natural teeth, so visible restorations are assessed first.
Teeth Whitening: Treatment Stages
In-practice or dentist-supervised home approaches may be considered. Products and duration are selected individually. Expectations and possible sensitivity are discussed before treatment.
