Achieve the Smile You’ve Always Wanted With Teeth Whitening in Houston

Because having whiter teeth has now become the number one aesthetic concern of most patients, there are a number of ways to whiten teeth. The most popular method is using a home teeth whitening system that will whiten teeth dramatically. Since teeth whitening only works on natural tooth enamel, it is important to evaluate replacement of any old fillings, crowns, etc. Replacement of any restorations will be done after bleaching so they will match the newly bleached teeth.

What Is Teeth Whitening?

Teeth whitening (or bleaching) is a simple, non-invasive dental treatment used to change the color of natural tooth enamel and is an ideal way to enhance the beauty of your smile. Teeth whitening is not permanent. A touch-up may be needed every several years and more often if you smoke, drink coffee, tea, or wine.

Common Reasons for Teeth Whitening

Patients choose to have teeth whitening in Houston at Sinada Dental for a variety of reasons, including the following:

  • Fluorosis (excessive fluoridation during tooth development)
  • Normal wear of the outer tooth layer
  • Stained teeth due to medications (tetracycline, etc.)
  • Yellow, brown stained teeth

What Does Teeth Whitening Involve?

The type of teeth whitening we offer at Sinada Dental usually requires two visits. At the first appointment, impressions (molds) will be made of your teeth to fabricate custom clear plastic trays.

At your second appointment, you will try on the trays for proper fit, and adjustments will be made if necessary. The trays are worn with a special whitening solution either twice a day for 30 minutes or overnight for a couple of weeks, depending on the degree of staining and desired level of whitening. It is normal to experience tooth sensitivity during the time you are whitening your teeth, but it will subside shortly after you have stopped bleaching.

You will receive care instructions for your teeth and trays, and be encouraged to visit your dentist regularly to help maintain a beautiful, healthy, white smile.

Should I get a dental cleaning before undergoing teeth whitening?

Yes, to achieve the best possible results from your teeth whitening, you may want to undergo a dental cleaning before the treatment. Eliminating any plaque and tartar that may be present will help the procedure be more effective.

Will teeth whitening damage my enamel?

It is possible for teeth whitening to cause damage to tooth enamel. However, when the procedure is done under the care of experienced dental professionals like our team at Sinada Dental, the likelihood of enamel damage will be greatly reduced.

Is anything special required before or after teeth whitening?

Other than having your teeth cleaned to maximize your results, there’s no special preparation required for teeth whitening. After the treatment, you’ll want to refrain from eating or drinking anything that could stain your teeth for at least 48 hours. This includes coffee, red wine, juice, and anything containing artificial coloring. You should also not smoke for at least a few days after your treatment.

How does teeth whitening work?

Teeth whitening treatments use bleaching agents like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which break down stains into smaller molecules, making the teeth appear brighter.

Is teeth whitening safe?

When performed by a qualified dental professional or using dentist-recommended products, teeth whitening is generally considered safe. However, some individuals may experience temporary tooth sensitivity or gum irritation.

How long do teeth whitening results last?

Results vary depending on lifestyle factors such as diet and oral hygiene habits. Typically, teeth whitening results can last from several months to a few years before touch-up treatments are needed.

Can teeth whitening remove all stains?

Teeth whitening is most effective at removing surface stains caused by foods, beverages, and smoking. Deeper stains, such as those caused by medications or trauma, may require additional treatments or procedures.

Are there any side effects of teeth whitening?

Temporary side effects may include tooth sensitivity and gum irritation. These typically resolve shortly after treatment or with the use of desensitizing products recommended by your dentist.

How can I maintain my teeth whitening results?

Maintain results by practicing good oral hygiene, including brushing twice daily, flossing, and regular dental check-ups. Avoid or limit staining foods and beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine.
