At our Houston, TX dental practice, we understand the importance of keeping an eye on your enamel during whitening treatment. While there are over-the-counter options at your local supermarket, these can often do more harm than good. They may be ineffective at removing your surface stains, wasting your money and causing you to repeatedly expose your enamel to harmful chemical bleaching. In order to protect your enamel from these missteps, talk with a trusted professional about your cosmetic dentistry. We give you options in your whitening treatment!
Even with a dedication to brushing and flossing, you are still susceptible to enamel stains from the things you eat and drink over the course of the day. Certain foods can leave lasting marks on your teeth that negatively impact the quality of your smile, and these can be difficult to remove on your own.
Tobacco use is another common reason for staining, so if you currently use these products, try to cut them out of our daily routine. There are many smoking cessation apps and programs available to help you stop using tobacco, and quitting can be one of the most positive actions you can take!
When you need a cosmetic improvement of the shade of your smile, reach out to a professional, so that you can protect the lasting strength of your enamel. Supermarket options can leave you at risk of dentin sensitivity as a result of overbleaching.
If your dentist has recommended a teeth whitening process, be sure to discuss the different approaches to your care. We proudly offer our clients two accessible forms of treatment, both in the office and from the comfort of your own home.
See results in as little as two weeks with our home whitening kit, which gives you a custom set of trays to use with our effective lifting agent. If you are in need of an even speedier solution, talk to us about whitening in the office, which is achievable with one simple visit!
