It’s a natural occurrence that teeth start yellowing as we age. This is because we start acquiring habits that we never used to do before. Drinking coffee or tea and smoking are only two of the many habits that can cause the discoloration of our teeth. There are more. But this is not about what causes teeth discoloration. This is about several options in tooth whitening.

One of the most common methods is the high-concentration bleaching. Though high-concentration bleaching kits are widely available, it is still best to get high-concentration bleaching done on your teeth in a dental clinic, as it involves other processes like teeth cleaning and the use of cumbersome bleaching trays and other paraphernalia, things that are all better done by an expert.

Another option in tooth whitening is the low-concentration bleaching. This method only requires the use of whitening strips or a mouth guard with a whitening agent. And unlike the first method, this could be done at home as no other process is involved.

The third, and the most popular, option is laser tooth whitening. Performed in dental clinics, laser is used to speed up the whitening process after the application of a whitening gel.

But there is an emerging tooth whitening method which involves the use of veneers. Because of the ease of its use and its versatility, the use of veneers is becoming even more popular than laser teeth whitening. This is because according to those who have used them, a veneer does not extend beyond the front surface and biting edge of a tooth. In addition, it aids in straightening the tooth, and can even correct some orthodontic problems, not to mention the small amount of time it requires to be applied by a licensed orthodontist.
