Tooth Whitening / Bleaching
Houston, TX

At-Home Whitening
At-Home Whitening is accomplished with trays that are customized to fit only your teeth. Dental impressions are taken of the teeth and a plastic tray made from the mold. The patient syringes the bleaching gel into the trays and wears the trays for 30 minutes to an hour for up to 3 weeks or until the desired bleached shade is reached. The trays can also be used as often as needed to "touch-up", or return teeth to bleached shade.

Laser Whitening
The "Laser Smile" whitening procedure is performed in the office with our Biolase Twilight Laser. The procedure takes approximately an hour and a half and the results are usually equal to or better than the results accomplished with the At-Home Whitening system. The Laser Smile is perfect for patients who prefer instance gratification. How long the results last depend upon the patient's personal habits such as drinking dark colored liquids, eating dark colored food, and smoking. The At-Home Whitening system can be used in conjunction with the at-home bleach trays to make the results last longer.
