Over time, changes in tooth color can lead many people to experience aesthetic concerns. External factors such as tea, coffee, smoking, red wine, acidic drinks, and certain medications can cause yellowing and dullness of the teeth. This affects both self-confidence and overall oral aesthetics. In-office teeth whitening is a professional treatment method designed to quickly and effectively address these concerns.
Performed in a clinical setting under the supervision of a dentist, this procedure uses special whitening gels and LED or laser-supported systems to lighten the color of teeth by several shades. In most cases, visibly noticeable results are achieved in a single session.
What Is In-Office Teeth Whitening?
In-office teeth whitening is a fast and reliable whitening method performed by a dentist in a clinical environment. High-concentration whitening gels are used to lighten tooth color without damaging the enamel. The effectiveness is enhanced and the procedure time shortened with the help of LED or laser light.
