Professional Teeth Whitening
The color of teeth is caused by the reflection of light on the enamel. A thin coating forms on the enamel that can pick up stains. There are also tiny pores in the teeth that can hold stains. As the enamel thins with age, more of the color of the dentin inside of the teeth can show through, which is why teeth may appear darker as people grow older. To make the teeth whiter, dentists apply a concentrated hydrogen peroxide solution to the teeth while protecting the gums during a visit that lasts between 30 minutes and 90 minutes, depending on which method is used. People will need to have between one and three treatments. The number of visits that may be required will depend on the chosen method, the severity of the stains and the desired whiteness.
