Pros and Cons of At-Home Teeth Whitening Vs Dr. Nick's Whitening
Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental service because it can easily improve the appearance of your smile. While there are several whitening products you can use at home, they often take a long time to show results.
Dr. Nick's Professional teeth whitening is performed in the office. We use a bleaching agent that will break up stains on your teeth and lighten the color of your enamel.
