Bleaching is an effective method for restoring the colour of the discoloured teeth. It is a safe procedure with few side effects, and is much less invasive than other techniques such as veneering or crowning of teeth, which require tooth preparation. This article focuses on the in office bleaching method called power bleaching with discussion of two cases using this method.
