Teeth Whitening – Dallas, TX

Lift Stubborn Stains, Reveal a Gorgeous Grin

Oftentimes, patients who are struggling to smile confidently due to noticeable stains are tempted to purchase an over-the-counter whitening kit. Unfortunately, however, these products often overpromise and underdeliver. That’s why we recommend scheduling a consultation with our cosmetic dentist in Dallas instead, Dr. Henry! That way, he can learn about your unique aesthetic concerns and determine if an in-office or take-home teeth whitening treatment is the ideal solution.

If your teeth and gums are healthy, but you want to address noticeable stains, then there’s a good chance that you’re a good candidate for professional teeth whitening. So, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us to schedule an appointment with Dr. Henry! During this visit, he will determine the source of the stains, how severe they are, and if your smile is healthy. Then, he can discuss the different cosmetic dentistry treatments that we offer and help you decide if teeth whitening is the best one for you.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

As we mentioned above, we offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening at our Dallas dental office. So, the stain-lifting process will look a bit different depending on which one you choose! In this next section, we’re covering a little more information on each, starting with take-home teeth whitening.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

Unlike over-the-counter products, our take-home teeth whitening treatments use custom applicators and powerful brightening agents. We’ll provide you with both as well as detailed instructions on how to use them. Then, you’ll be free to gradually brighten your smile from the comfort of your own home!

In-Office Teeth Whitening

While take-home whitening treatments usually take about two weeks, in-office ones can be completed in as little as an hour. So, if you have an important event coming up, like a wedding, you should consider this option! We’ll handle the entire process so you can relax comfortably in the treatment chair, too.
