Teeth Whitening Options Available

Teeth whitening is quickly becoming the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedure. Everyone wants a more attractive smile, and there are numerous ways to achieve that goal. If you have been to a pharmacy recently, you may have seen an assortment of whitening strips and gels that promise to drastically brighten your teeth. However, over-the-counter products tend to take weeks or even months to show any results. And you need to follow the directions carefully; otherwise, you could end up causing extreme tooth sensitivity.

 

The best way to get a brighter smile is to schedule an appointment with our expert in teeth whitening in Houston. Our dentist can significantly improve the aesthetics of your smile in just a single appointment. The treatment process begins by applying a protective gel over the gums and lips so that only the teeth are exposed. Our Houston cosmetic dentist will then apply a special bleaching agent over the teeth, and then the agent will be activated using a special light to break apart stains. The results are immediate, and the entire process can typically be completed in less than an hour.

 

Discoloration that is the result of medications or tooth decay may need to be covered up using veneers or crowns. If you want to learn if tooth whitening is right for you, schedule a consultation today.
