Teeth Whitening is a quick and cost-effective procedure that provides immediate results.  You can come in with dull, yellow teeth and walk out with bright, sparkling teeth.  Our lifestyle and choice of foods and drinks tend to discolour teeth. They naturally start losing whiteness due to the stains that accumulate over them.  The superficial stains can easily be gotten rid off by professional scaling and polishing. But we need professional whitening to entirely skip the yellow shade and move on the whiter shade. Getting your teeth whitened is faster and the entire process can take up to 90minutes. At-home teeth whitening kits can also be provided. These results can be visible over an extended period of time.  Teeth whitening can help you get the perfect and attractive smile.  Are you ready for a whiter smile? We can definitely help to give your smile a little boost. Contact us today. Dr. Shraddha Karkhanis  BDS, MDS 1 Smile One Care Periodontist & Oral ...
