Skin bleaching before and after pictures
Dental bleaching lightens natural enamel and dentine; photographs vary with lighting, shade, hydration, restorations, and treatment conditions.
The short answer
Dental bleaching uses peroxide gel to break down colored molecules in tooth structure. It does not lighten crowns, veneers, fillings, or bonding.
How is your starting shade assessed before bleaching?
A dentist records the starting shade, checks decay and gums, and selects supervised home or in-office treatment. Compare images in similar lighting with hydrated teeth.
What should be checked before you begin bleaching?
Have an examination for sensitivity, bleeding gums, worn enamel, exposed roots, or untreated cavities before bleaching. Persistent irritation needs review.
How can you compare tooth colour after bleaching?
Ask whether discoloration is in natural teeth or restorations, what result is realistic, and how shade will be compared.
Frequently asked questions
Can home care fix the underlying problem?
It can reduce irritation and debris, but decay, infection, cracks, tartar, and damaged restorations need diagnosis-specific treatment.
What should I bring to an appointment?
Bring a medicine list, relevant health history, and notes about when symptoms began and what triggers them.
