Tooth whitening is one of the most frequently requested dental procedures as everyone now wants a whiter, brighter smile. Your dentist may recommend a professional cleaning prior to the whitening procedure.

Many choices for tooth whitening are available. These include home-based products and in-office based systems where products containing highly concentrated bleaching agents are applied under professional supervision.
