In cosmetic dentistry , teeth whitening is an aesthetic dental treatment that manages to reduce the original color of the teeth by several shades, leaving the teeth whiter and brighter.
Teeth whitening can be done in the office or at home, although the same treatments cannot be purchased for personal use. However, some dentists warn about possible damage to the teeth if they are used in high concentration without the prescription or follow-up of a dentist.
Teeth whitening eliminates most of the stains produced by extrinsic causes such as tea, coffee and other infusions, cigarettes and red wine, among other substances and foods. However, not all dental stains or darkenings are removable or improvable through teeth whitening and may require other types of cosmetic dental treatments such as the use of porcelain veneers or crowns .
