In-office teeth whitening, also known as laser teeth whitening, is a dental treatment that improves the color of your teeth. The treatment reverses discoloration caused by overexposure to dark-colored food/drinks and other factors. As the name implies, it is carried out in the dental office.

Is it Safe?

For this treatment, the dentist will carry out an oral exam and review your dental/medical status. Upon verification, the dentist will protect your gums before applying the whitening agent to your teeth.
