Teeth Whitening in Irving, TX

Teeth whitening treatment is one of the most accessible and affordable ways to brighten your smile. These treatments use bleaching agents to remove stains from tooth enamel, resulting in whiter, brighter teeth. The professional-grade bleaching agents used in the dental office are much stronger than over-the-counter options you can purchase at the store. This means that you will achieve dramatic results more quickly with a professional whitening treatment than you could with an over-the-counter product. 

Some patients may need more than one in-office session to reach their desired level of whiteness. During your consultation at Smiles of Irving, our dentist in Irving, TX, will discuss your teeth whitening goals with you and design a custom treatment plan to achieve them.

Types of Teeth Whitening

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic dental treatment with several methods available to suit different needs. The most common types include in-office whitening, at-home whitening kits, and over-the-counter products. In-office whitening, often using professional-grade products like Zoom Whitening, provides immediate results and is supervised by a dentist to ensure safety and effectiveness. At-home whitening kits typically involve custom-made trays filled with a whitening gel that you wear for a prescribed period, delivering gradual results. Over-the-counter products, such as whitening toothpaste, strips, and gels, are the most accessible and affordable but generally offer more modest results compared to professional treatments. Each method has its pros and cons, depending on the desired outcome, budget, and the condition of your teeth.

The Procedure for Teeth Whitening Treatment

Before your treatment, your teeth will be examined to ensure they are healthy enough for whitening. Then, the lips and gums will be covered to protect them from the bleaching agent. The bleach is applied to the surface of your teeth. A special light may be used to activate the hydrogen peroxide in the bleaching agent, which speeds up the process. 

Depending on your needs, this treatment can be completed in one or multiple visits. You can also choose to whiten your teeth at home. Custom take-home whitening trays can be made based on impressions of your teeth. Typically, you will wear the trays for a certain amount of time each day until you reach your desired level of whiteness.
