  A most common cosmetic dentistry procedure, bleaching, brightens teeth that are stained or discolored. Being porous, teeth are not stain resistant and, smoking, food, drink or poor oral hygiene cause discoloration, and no amount of brushing can remove the dullness brought about by these elements.

  A dentist can perform a safe and effective whitening procedure in 45 minutes and after the procedure the patient will experience tooth sensitivity.

  The whitening results may last up to 6 months or more. For longer results, avoid colored food and drinks for about a week. Use of straw in drinking coffee and tea may help to avoid staining.
