Teeth Whitening:
Teeth whitening involves bleaching your teeth to make them a lighter colour. Teeth whitening can lighten the existing colour of your teeth by several shades. Standard teeth whitening involves several visits to the dentist plus sessions at home wearing a mouthguard containing bleaching gel. The whole process takes a couple of months. However, with the advanced technology available at Dentissimo, a newer procedure is done called Zoom! WhiteSpeed which takes only an hour.
