Dental Bleaching & Appearance Center

Tooth bleaching (or whitening) is a procedure in which peroxide is used to treat tooth discoloration. Like other forms of cosmetic dentistry, it is performed to improve appearance. Veneers are also used on discolored teeth. A frenectomy is a procedure to remove a piece of gum tissue between the two front teeth. This may be performed to correct gapped teeth (diastema).
