Understanding Teeth Whitening
Whitening treatments aim to reduce some stains and change the shade of natural teeth. Results depend on starting shade, stains and existing dental restorations.
What to expect
Your care plan should be based on an in-person assessment. The following steps are common considerations, not a guarantee that every treatment is appropriate.
- Check the causes of discoloration
- Discuss in-office and take-home approaches
- Review sensitivity and realistic expectations
Individualized care
Ask the dental team about expected benefits, alternatives, costs, risks and follow-up before making treatment decisions.
