Whether you are getting married, graduating from school, or planning an exciting excursion this summer, Reveal Dental offers a variety of Cedar Park dental options that will make your pearly whites shine.
A very popular cosmetic dental procedure, teeth whitening lightens the color of enamel and helps to remove stains and discoloration on teeth. Tobacco, coffee, tea, and red wine are the most common items that stain teeth, and teeth also tend to change color as you age. Whitening your teeth with one of our solutions helps reverse these effects.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
In-office teeth whitening in Cedar Park is the fastest and most effective way to whiten teeth. Before beginning the whitening process, a protective shield is placed to protect gums. A powerful professional-grade whitening product is then applied to teeth and may be used with a special light or laser that is directed at the teeth during treatment. Just one or two 60-minute session can whiten teeth as much as 5-10 shades.
Customized Take-Home Teeth Whitening Trays
For take-home whitening, we take impressions of your upper and lower teeth and make custom trays that fit your teeth precisely. At home, you fill the trays with a professional grade whitening gel that contains a bleaching agent. A close fit helps the whitening agent remain in contact with your teeth while reducing contact with gum tissue.
You wear the mouthpiece for 30 minutes – 1 hour every day, sometimes twice daily. Depending on the level of whitening you want to achieve, you can wear the trays anywhere from two to four weeks.
Semi-Custom Whitening Trays
Some dentists also offer professional-grade kits that contain convenient prefilled trays that can be worn right out of the package. These take-home trays are usually worn 15-20 minutes a day for five to ten days.
Over-the-Counter Teeth Whitening
Over-the-counter products such as whitening strips contain a weaker bleaching agent than the treatments and products you can get from our clinic. Although they can be effective, whitening process may take longer. Over-the-counter trays also fit less securely than custom-made trays.
Teeth whitening can help you put on your best smile for all the exciting spring and summer events you have in store this year. Please call us at (512) 337-2316 at Reveal Dental in Cedar Park to schedule an appointment today.
