Teeth Whitening in Houston, Texas

Teeth Whitening

A white smile can do wonders for your confidence, but everyday habits like drinking coffee, smoking, or enjoying a glass of red wine can dull its natural shine. If you’ve noticed that your teeth aren’t as bright as they used to be, our in-office whitening treatments are designed to deliver fast, noticeable results.

Why Do Teeth Get Stained?

Discoloration can occur because of external and internal causes, such as:

  • Dietary choices: Consuming foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, and berries can cause surface stains.
  • Tobacco use: Smoking or chewing tobacco can lead to stubborn yellow or brown stains.
  • Aging: As we age, the outer enamel layer of the teeth thins, revealing the yellowish dentin beneath.
  • Medications: Certain medications, like antibiotics or antihistamines, can cause teeth discoloration.
  • Poor oral hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can allow plaque and stain-causing substances to build up on the teeth.

What is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure to lighten the color of your teeth, removing stains and discoloration.

The process begins with a thorough teeth cleaning, where your teeth are polished to eliminate surface stains, debris, and any accumulated tartar.

Next, our dentists isolate your teeth using a dental dam to protect your soft tissues from the bleaching agents. To further safeguard your lips and eyes, we will also apply a protective layer of petroleum jelly to the lips and gums.

After preparing your mouth, we apply a professional-strength bleaching agent to your teeth, typically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. The agent penetrates the enamel and breaks down stains, lightening the tooth color without harming your teeth or gums.

Finally, we will use specialized lights to activate and enhance the bleaching process, resulting in visibly whiter teeth in just one session.
