Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening, a standard cosmetic dental procedure, involves using bleaching agents to lighten the color of teeth and remove stains and discoloration. Our dentist offers various professional whitening methods, including in-office treatments and take-home kits.
In-office procedures typically utilize high-concentration bleaching gels activated by specialized lights or lasers, providing accelerated and noticeable results in a single visit. Take-home kits involve custom-fitted trays and professional-strength whitening gel for gradual whitening over several weeks. Over-the-counter options like whitening toothpaste, strips, and gels are also available, although they typically contain lower concentrations of whitening agents.
While teeth whitening is generally safe and effective, it's essential to consult with our dentist in Austin, TX, to determine the most suitable approach based on individual needs and ensure proper supervision to minimize risks such as tooth sensitivity or gum irritation.
