In the teeth whitening procedure the teeth is cleaned and lightened using laser light treatment and it also removes stains and discoloration, improving the overall beauty of the smile in a cosmetic way. Teeth whitening or teeth bleaching is among the most popular and affordable cosmetic dental procedures because it can greatly improve how your teeth look. Most dentists perform this affordable, laser light treatment to make the tooth white for sparkling smile enhancement.

Other dental problems can affect the success of cosmetic laser whitening. For example, cavities need to be treated by non surgery/surgery before teeth are lightened and whitened. That's because the tooth whitening solution can pass through decayed areas of the cavities and reach the inner parts of the tooth. If your gums have receded, the exposed roots of your teeth may appear yellow or discolored and whiteners will not make them whiter. Gum protection treatment needs to be done in such cases.

Next, the dentist will do scaling and polishing to clean your teeth. This will remove the film of bacteria, food and other substances that build up on your teeth and contribute to the staining. Once the cleaning process of scaling and polishing is done, the teeth whitening procedure begins.
