Teeth Bleaching

The Bleaching Solution

There are basically two types of Bleaching or Teeth Whitening procedures. They are

• In-Office Teeth Whitening
• Do-It-Yourself (or) Over-The-Counter approach.

While the former procedure will be performed under the expert dentist supervision at the clinic and assures great results, the second procedure, as the name itself indicates, is self-performed and needs extra care during the process. It is always suggested to go for the bleaching process under expert supervision to avoid unnecessary complications unless you have good experience of having performed it by yourself before.

LBR Dental and Implant Center offers high standard bleaching procedure for you to get rid of the discoloration in the teeth and restore the bright and confident smile.

The treatment process will be performed taking all the factors and constraints into the equation to reap the best and desired results. We aim to achieve natural look of white teeth for you.
