Do you have dental discoloration? If you have teeth stains, then we could help. With in-office and take-home teeth whitening, as well as cosmetic treatments like bonding and veneers, we can brighten your teeth. In today’s blog, your Houston, TX, family dentist talks about the best way to brighten your smile!
In-Office Teeth Whitening
We can provide teeth whitening to brighten your smile in only one visit, but with dramatic and long-lasting results too! Our in-office approach involves applying a protective covering on your gums and lips, and then applying the powerful bleaching gel to the teeth in several different layers. We then employ a special light to activate the gel and brighten the smile by several shades. We can repeat the process as needed, and you can see results in as little as one to two hours total!
Whitening Teeth at Home
Our team can also provide a professional teeth whitening procedure that you take home with you. This selection could even brighten your teeth by as many as eight different shades! Our team will start by taking detailed impressions of your bite in-office, and using the impressions to create a set of plastic trays. We then send these trays home with you, accompanied by several plastic syringes of a powerful bleaching gel.
Once you’re at home, you simply add the gel to the trays and wear them for a set amount of time each day. This could be as little as an hour. After one to two weeks of this, your teeth could be several shades brighter, as the trays ensure event results across your smile and prevent the strength of the gel from being diluted by salvia. You can even keep the trays and any leftover gel should you need touch-ups in the months to come!
Bonding and Veneers
What if you have permanent teeth stains, the intrinsic discoloration that forms beneath the enamel that could be difficult to remove with teeth whitening? If this happens, we can still brighten your smile! For example, we could use dental bonding to mask the stains in one visit, employing the same lifelike material we use in our dental filling procedures. We also have custom veneers, thin restoration that we connect to the front of your teeth to mask multiple imperfections at once. This could also brighten your teeth instantly.
If you have any questions about teeth whitening, then contact our team today to learn more and start your treatment journey! You deserve a shining smile, and we want to make it happen.
