Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure designed to safely lighten the shade of teeth, removing stains and discoloration to enhance the brightness of your smile. At City Clinic, we use professional-grade whitening systems for effective, long-lasting results.

Daily habits, aging, or certain foods and drinks can cause teeth to darken over time. Our whitening treatments involve carefully applied whitening gels or advanced in-office systems that break down stains while preserving enamel integrity.

City Clinic’s dentists evaluate each patient’s oral health before treatment to ensure safety and effectiveness. The procedure is quick, comfortable, and tailored to achieve a natural, radiant smile without sensitivity or damage.
