Cosmetic white teeth polish
A professional polish removes external stains and smooths tooth surfaces, but it does not bleach internal tooth color.
The short answer
Polishing uses instruments and paste or air polishing to remove plaque and extrinsic stains from enamel. It is cleaning with cosmetic improvement, not peroxide whitening.
How are your teeth and gums assessed before polishing?
A clinician checks decay, gum disease, exposed roots, and restorations, removes deposits, then polishes suitable surfaces.
When should tooth pain or persistent stains be examined?
Seek examination first if teeth hurt, gums bleed often, enamel is chipped, or stains do not lift with cleaning.
Is your stain suitable for polishing or whitening treatment?
Ask whether the stain is external, whether sensitive or restored areas need protection, and whether whitening is suitable.
