Tooth color plays a big role in your appearance. It is possible to have teeth whitening in order to have whiter shades of teeth. There are two types of bleaching: Office(clinical) bleaching which gives a quicker result, and home bleaching where you follow a regimen to whiten your teeth.
It is the whitening technique that is performed by your dentist. It is a better solution for those who want to achieve the results quicker. Dentist applies a whitening gel onto your teeth and activates it with the help of UV light or laser and it nearly takes 1 hour. It is also called laser technique.
Your dentist firstly check and examine general condition of your teeth and performs a tooth tartar and plaque removal, which is called “scaling”. Your teeth are measured in order to prepare a whitening kit which contains a whitening gel inside. After you brush your teeth at night, you put the kit into your mouth and it should stay 6 to 8 hours. This procedure usually starts in the upper jaw and then follows the lower one.
Combining both in-office and at-home bleaching can provide the best results. Your dentist can inform you whether you can combine the two or not.

Yes, it is possible. This technique is called internal tooth bleaching. It is a method of whitening from the inside out. First, a root canal is performed to remove any pulp that is infected. Then, a whitening paste is placed deep inside of the tooth. This material reacts with stains and dissolves their particles, making the teeth appear whiter. This paste may be changed with intervals of 2 days until the desired result is achieved.
Laser application shortens the activation process of whitening paste applied onto teeth.
