What is the immediate thing people notice about your smile? It’s the color of your teeth! Do they look yellow or stained? This can lead you to be self-conscious and avoid any interactions. Due to various reasons such as age, smoking, the type of food you eat, and even genetics your teeth will get discolored and stained over time. A pair of white teeth makes you stand out and they are the envy of many. When you look at someone with a bright, white, and perfect smile, words like good-looking, and clean quickly come to mind.

Teeth whitening means using a bleaching gel to make your teeth look lighter. This process will lighten the existing color of your teeth by several shades. It is one form of cosmetic dentistry and usually is recommended to be carried out by qualified dentists such as Dr. Aparna Khanna and Dr. Mason Uvaydov from Northbridge Smiles. This procedure can be done at home, but it can give varying results. An important point to remember before you do this procedure is that teeth whitening does not work on dentures, crowns, fillings or veneers.
