Teeth whitening and gum depigmentation
At a glance
- What this covers
- Whitening gel breaks down compounds causing discolouration
- Before you decide
- Results depend on the cause of discolouration. Root-treated teeth and medication-related staining need a separate consultation.
Whitening works because nascent oxygen in the gel penetrates the tooth, breaks the staining compounds into smaller pieces, and increases how much light passes through the enamel.
