Teeth Whitening: What to Know Before You Start
Whitening can brighten a smile, but the safest plan starts with a dental exam.
Check the cause of staining
Coffee, tea, tobacco, age, and some foods can darken teeth. A dental exam helps confirm whether whitening is suitable or whether another treatment would give a better result.
Understand what will not whiten
Crowns, veneers, bridges, and fillings do not respond like natural enamel. If they are visible when you smile, your dentist can help plan the shade so everything still looks balanced.
Choose supervision
Professional guidance helps reduce gum irritation and sensitivity. It also keeps whitening realistic, natural-looking, and matched to the health of your mouth.
