Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening in Hialeah uses whitening agents to lighten tooth color, with results depending on the type of stain and technique.
Overview
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic treatment intended to lighten the color of teeth. Whitening agents such as hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide react with stains and help break them down. How well treatment works depends on the source of the discoloration and the technique used.
Stains linked to food, drinks, or aging may respond differently from discoloration related to trauma or medication. A dental evaluation helps identify the cause and whether whitening is an appropriate option. Temporary tooth sensitivity can occur during or after treatment; persistent symptoms should be discussed with your dentist.
