Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is an elective dental procedure that is typically recommended for patients who have stained or otherwise discolored teeth. Of course, we’ll first need to make sure that you’re a good fit for the treatment. Our team can examine your teeth and narrow down the cause of any discoloration to determine whether professional whitening is a potential solution. We’ll also need to evaluate your oral health; any tooth decay or gum disease will need to be treated before teeth whitening can be performed.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
You can choose between take-home teeth whitening and in-office teeth whitening. Both approaches have their own advantages to consider; our team will be more than happy to answer any questions you might have so that you can make an informed decision.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
Each take-home teeth whitening kit comes with a special bleaching gel and customized trays. Every day, you will fill the trays with the gel, then place them over your teeth for a set amount of time. This is the slower approach to teeth whitening, but it can still yield dazzling results, and it can be done in the comfort of your own home!
In-Office Teeth Whitening
During an in-office whitening treatment, our team will apply a strong bleaching gel to your teeth. The gel will leave your smile looking several shades brighter in as little as an hour. Because this approach can be completed in just one visit, it’s often recommended for patients who want to whiten their smiles for an event in the near future.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
Do you want to keep your brighter grin as long as possible? To maintain the results of teeth whitening, you can take the following measures:
- Reduce your intake of any foods or beverages that can cause tooth stains; coffee and berries are common examples.
- Brush your teeth thoroughly at least two times a day.
- Visit our team for a checkup and cleaning every six months. We can polish your teeth to remove surface stains.
- Have periodic touch-ups performed to keep your teeth looking their best.
Teeth Whitening FAQs
Does Teeth Whitening Damage Enamel?
Professional teeth whitening, when done under the care of a cosmetic dentist in Dallas, is safe and does not damage your enamel. The whitening agents used at Dallas Esthetics are clinically tested and applied in a controlled setting to minimize sensitivity and protect your tooth structure.
Unlike many over-the-counter products, our treatments avoid harsh abrasives and are customized to your needs. Some temporary sensitivity is normal after whitening, but it usually fades within a few days. If you have concerns about enamel strength or sensitivity, let us know. We’re happy to discuss options to protect your smile while delivering dazzling results.
Does Teeth Whitening Work on Dental Crowns?
Teeth whitening treatments don’t work on dental crowns, veneers, or other restorations because these materials don’t have the same structure that natural enamel does. Enamel is porous, full of microscopic holes that absorb nutrients. Synthetic materials like porcelain, metal, and ceramic don’t have these pores and cannot absorb the whitening gel.
We generally recommend whitening your natural teeth first, then replacing older crowns to match your brighter shade. This is a common approach for patients who desire full smile makeovers with a cosmetic dentist in Dallas. We’ll help you achieve even, consistent results that look natural and brilliant.
What’s the Difference Between Professional and Store-Bought Teeth Whitening?
The main differences between store-bought and professional whitening treatments all come down to strength, safety, and results. Professional teeth whitening at Dallas Esthetics uses high-grade bleaching agents that penetrate deeper into your enamel, delivering faster and more noticeable results. In contrast, store-bought kits are weaker, take longer, and may not whiten evenly.
With professional treatments, you’ll also benefit from the oversight of a cosmetic dentist, who can ensure your treatment is safe and effective. Meanwhile, generic products can cause sensitivity or gum irritation if used improperly.
With in-office or custom take-home options, we customize your whitening plan to your goals. So, if you're serious about long-lasting, dramatic results, professional whitening is the clear choice.
How Long Does Teeth Whitening Treatment Take?
The length of your teeth whitening treatment depends on the method you choose and your desired results. In-office whitening at Dallas Esthetics typically takes about 60 to 90 minutes and can lighten your teeth several shades in just one visit.
For patients who prefer take-home trays, treatment usually takes around two weeks of daily use. Both options are highly effective, and we’ll recommend what works best for your lifestyle and timeline. Whether you're prepping for a big event or just want to refresh your smile, we’ll help you achieve brighter teeth with professional teeth whitening in Dallas.
