Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?
It is suitable for most individuals who wish to enhance their smile. However, it’s important to have a dental consultation to assess your overall oral health before undergoing treatment. If you have crowns, veneers, or other dental restorations, note that these materials do not respond to whitening and may require additional cosmetic adjustments.
