Question and answer
Teeth whitened by dentist
The dentist protects soft tissues, controls gel contact, and selects in-office or dentist-supervised tray whitening according to the staining and oral.
The short answer
A dentist can whiten natural tooth enamel with a peroxide-based gel after checking the teeth and gums.

Whitening changes natural tooth colour, not fillings. Peroxide gel acts on internal tooth stains.
What can you do next?
Gum protection limits gel contact. Sensitivity risk depends on the teeth and protocol.
When should you seek dental care?
Sensitivity risk depends on the teeth and protocol. Arrange an examination to identify the cause.
