Top 5 Cosmetic Procedures – 2 Teeth Whitening

One of the most common dental procedures carried out cosmetically teeth whitening restores teeth to their natural colour as opposed to bleaching which takes the colour change beyond natural colours. Over a period o time your teeth can become stained and show significant discolouring. This can be made much worse by drinking lots of tea, coffee or red wine and of course smoking only exacerbates the problem.Your teeth are porous and stains become deposited in the microscopic holes in the enamel of your teeth. The bleaching agents used, usually a form of hydrogen peroxide, penetrate the small holes and bleach out the stain deposits that are there. Or most people significant improvement can be gained using over the counter kits but where underlying problems have caused the discolouration a visit to your dentist will be necessary and in extreme cases treatments may need to be intensified using laser or light therapies. Cosmetic dentistry
