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.
