Whitesmile whitening
Whitesmile whitening refers to a peroxide-based tooth-whitening product or service whose result depends on the gel, tray, stain type, and tooth condition.
The short answer
Peroxide bleaching breaks down coloured compounds in enamel and dentin. Fillings, crowns, bridges, and veneers do not bleach like natural tooth structure.
What is the direct answer?
What does this question mean?
Check the ingredient and directions, protect the gums from gel, and do not whiten over untreated decay, leaking restorations, or inflamed gums.
What can you do next?
See a dentist for pain, persistent sensitivity, gum irritation, or a grey tooth that does not respond like its neighbours.
When should you seek dental care?
Ask what active ingredient is used, whether restorations will change colour, and how sensitivity and gum contact are managed.
