It can be done professionally in a dental clinic or at home with a bleaching splint after consultation with a professional. During the process, the dyes deposited in the enamel of the tooth undergo a chemical transformation, resulting in a whiter tooth.
The degree of bleaching depends on the initial colour and the type of enamel, which varies from person to person. After a certain time, ingested colouring agents (coffee, tobacco smoke, red wine) can discolour the teeth again, so ceramic veneers can provide a permanent solution, especially in cases of severe congenital discolouration.
