Tooth whitening is the most common cosmetic dental procedure done today. You have three main choices, depending on your budget and lifestyle.

You can whiten your teeth by an average of eight shades in about an hour with in-office whitening treatment. Or, you can wear teeth-whitening trays during the day or while you sleep using a take-home whitening kit from your dentist. There are also over the counter products available at some drug stores, but these are less effective and have some risk.
