Cleaning vs whitening
Many patients search whitening when they first need cleaning. Cleaning removes tartar and surface deposits. Whitening changes the tooth shade. If teeth are covered by plaque or stains, cleaning may be recommended before whitening.

Teeth Whitening
Brightens natural tooth shade. See teeth whitening in Nairobi.
Veneers or Crowns
If discoloration is severe or restorations are involved, whitening may not be enough.
