Teeth whitening
A smile is a calling card of a person! Healthy and well-groomed teeth always add attractiveness and increase self-confidence. Many dream of a snow-white smile, but not everyone is given it by nature, and even a thorough brushing of teeth with whitening pastes does not give the expected result. Therefore, nowadays the dental procedure of teeth whitening has gained more and more popularity.
What is professional teeth whitening
Professional teeth whitening is the easiest and most convenient way to get a radiant smile back in one visit to the dental office.
Teeth whitening is carried out in a dental clinic using the latest technologies such as laser. There is also the possibility of teeth whitening with trays, a procedure performed by the patient at home.
Dentists recommend professional teeth whitening only after 16 years of age.
