Teeth Whitening in Spring Branch, TX

Over time, it’s common for our teeth to collect stains that cause them to look dull, yellow, or discolored. The easiest and most affordable way to remove tooth stains is professional teeth whitening at Echeverri Dental Center.

When supervised by a dentist or hygienist, teeth whitening is a safe and effective treatment to regain your bright, youthful-looking smile. We are pleased to offer both in-office treatments and custom take-home whitening kits.

What Causes Tooth Discoloration?

If you wonder why your teeth are stained or discolored, it could be due to one or more of the following:

Coffee, dark tea, colas, red wine, and fruit juice are all known to leave dark stains on teeth. Other common culprits are dark berries, beets, curries, and soy sauce.
Inconsistent oral hygiene allows plaque and tartar to build up and leave your teeth looking discolored or yellow.
Smoking or chewing tobacco results in ugly, hard-to-remove brown stains on your teeth.
As you age, microscopic pores open in your teeth and collect food debris and stains that create a dull or discolored appearance.
Teeth come in dozens of shades of white, so some start off whiter than others. Whitening can’t change a tooth’s inherent color, but it can restore its original brightness.

Testimonial

Dr. Brown made the experience very comfortable.

I have been a patient at Echeverri Dental since I was a child. I recently made a check up visit for the first time in 5 years. Dr. Brown made the experience very comfortable and not only told me what my dental issues were but made sure to explain them and come up with a proper treatment plan.

Professional Teeth Whitening Options in Spring Branch East

We offer several options for teeth whitening at our Houston, TX, dental office, including:

Zoom!— Zoom! is a powerful teeth whitening system that brightens your teeth by several shades in a single appointment. First, we prepare your teeth for the whitening gel. Next, we protect your gums, then apply the whitening gel to your teeth. Then, you can just sit back and relax while Zoom! brightens your smile.
Opalescence™ — We also offer Opalescence take-home teeth whitening kits. You can choose from pre-made trays, or we can take impressions of your teeth to create custom whitening trays that fit your teeth perfectly. Use the trays with the provided gel, and after about two weeks of daily use at home, you'll see similar results to an in-office treatment, but you'll have more control over the process.

Our dentists and hygienists always recommend starting your teeth whitening journey with a professional cleaning. This step ensures your teeth are free of plaque and tartar that can inhibit the process or cause uneven or inconsistent whitening.

Professional Whitening vs. OTC Whitening Kits

When you are at your supermarket looking at rows of whitening products, you may wonder if it wouldn’t be easier to do the job yourself. We understand, but there are several reasons why professional whitening is safer and more effective.

More powerful whitening — Because a dentist or hygienist supervises your whitening, they can prescribe a whitening gel far more potent than anything you can purchase over the counter.
Custom-fitted whitening trays — Store-bought kits containing generic whitening trays are no match for the custom trays we make using impressions of your teeth. You’ll see more even and consistent results and the gel won't leak out and damage sensitive gum tissue.
Professional support — If you experience an issue or don’t see the results you want with an OTC kit, you don’t have much recourse. With dentist or hygienist-supervised whitening, you always have a place to turn, and we will work with you to ensure you achieve the bright results you want.

Say Goodbye to Stained and Yellow Teeth in Spring Branch!

With professional teeth whitening at our Houston, TX dental office, we can brighten your smile by several shades. Take the first step by calling Echeverri Dental Center and scheduling a teeth cleaning appointment with one of our skilled hygienists.
