Dental Dictionary
Teeth Whitening (Tooth Bleaching) is a common procedure in general dentistry but more specifically seen in the field of cosmetic dentistry. Many people consider white teeth to be an attractive feature of a smile. Children’s teeth are generally whiter than the adult teeth that follow. As a person ages the adult teeth become darker due to changes in mineral structure as the enamel becomes less porous. Teeth can also become stained by bacterial pigments, foodstuffs and tobacco. At her New York City dental location Dr. Chernin offers a special discount for a one hour, in-office bleaching session for $299.00, a regular value of $599.00.
