Give your smile some sparkle and consider tooth whitening or "bleaching". This safe procedure whitens all the teeth simultaneously by using a special gel that contains a small percentage of hydrogen peroxide. The gel stays in contact with the teeth by means of a small flexible "tray" that fits intimately over the teeth.

Bleaching can be done during the day or at nighttime during sleep. Teeth begin to whiten within days and total bleaching takes from one to two weeks. Teeth typically stay whiter for years.
