Teeth whitening is a simple, effective cosmetic dental treatment that we offer to noticeably enhance your smile in as little as one treatment.

This gel works to lighten the appearance of stains, discoloration and yellowing on the tooth enamel. Teeth whitening is often available in both in-office and take-home systems. Professional teeth whitening can give you a noticeably whiter smile that will boost your self-esteem and help you smile with pride.

Some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity following a whitening procedure. This is mild and usually subsides in a few weeks. Greyling Dental takes precautions to reduce sensitivity.
