Removing Deep Stains

Professional grade whitening gels safely oxidize the deep-set stain particles inside of your porous tooth enamel. You can’t buy these products online or in stores. Just like any prescription grade product, you can only get them directly from a professional.

Some of the most common types of discoloration that you can treat with teeth whitening come from:

• Dark liquids like coffee, tea, red wine, and soda

• Tobacco products

• Medications, such as tetracycline

• Age

• Environmental factors

• Vitamin or supplement use

While we can polish away superficial stains during your checkups, there are some discolorations that are set deeper into teeth and only respond to oxidizing gels. Our Houston cosmetic dentist can help you get the brighter teeth you want, so that you can show off your smile everywhere you go!

Dr. Fabiola Garcia can help you determine the best concentration of whitening gel for your unique smile needs. Some are stronger and faster, while others are gentler for people with sensitive teeth.

If you're confident, you smile more. If you smile more, you feel more confident. But what if you don't want to flash your smile because you're embarrassed by yellow teeth?

Sometimes a new smile emerges from the simplest steps. Teeth whitening removes years of dingy stains from your teeth. Coffee, tea, wine, tobacco, and chocolate dull white enamel surfaces. A brilliant boost along with some gentle polishing and reshaping of chipped, uneven edges can create an easy transformation. Simple and safe, most patients don't realize how much discoloration embeds into their teeth until they see a new shine emerge.

Numerous whitening products crowd supermarket shelves. While we don't discourage these methods, you may want to consider the advantages of professional whitening:

Customized system: We make trays that fit your teeth like a comfortable glove. Flexible, thin plastic follows the alignment of your teeth allowing the whitening gel to contact evenly all tooth surfaces. This means consistent whitening with less overflow of the gel onto your gums.
Controlled gel formulas: We use the highest quality whitening formulas available for safety and consistency: professional strength with careful quality control from known sources. Beware of temperature-sensitive gels stored in uncontrolled environments or made in an unknown setting.
Sensitivity management: You may experience temporary sensitivity in your teeth while whitening. We have specific strategies for you to use, and will customize the product and method to help you have a comfortable and safe whitening experience.
Long-term results: Buying a box of whitening strips every few months adds up. With one set of custom trays, you'll have a system that should fit for years. A simple refill syringe of gel picked up occasionally from our office allows you to keep your smile fresh for years to come.

The Best Houston Teeth Whitening: Smile with Confidence!

Having whiter teeth is something that researchers have shown helps you look friendlier, feel more confident, and even do better than competitors in job interviews. The simple investment in whitening your teeth is one that is easier and more affordable than most people think!

Our Houston cosmetic dentist recommends whitening your teeth if you plan on updating any dental work or getting a smile makeover. When you do, we can custom match your new restorations to the brighter, whiter smile around them. Since white fillings and crowns can’t be bleached later on, it’s best to start with a brighter color from the very beginning.

Professional Whitening vs. Store Kits and Products

Do over the counter bleaching products work? To an extent. After purchasing 2-3 kits, you may have already spent as much on an over the counter system as you would custom trays, without the results to show for it. When you invest in professional teeth whitening, it’s cheaper than buying a new over-the-counter system to touch up your teeth every 3-6 months!

Low cost over the counter whitening systems that you can buy from Walmart or Amazon are easily accessible and inexpensive. The strips tend to work best, in that they hold the gel against your teeth. However, they take much longer to show results and cannot whiten as brightly, because they solutions are like over-the-counter medications; they’re weaker than what you can get from a doctor. The concentration of the gel used in teeth whitening strips is much lower than what you would get from a cosmetic dentist. Additionally, they can whiten your teeth unevenly, since the home remedies use kits that aren’t fitted to your unique smile.

When you choose a professional whitening system, you’ll see brighter results in less time for a better before and after. Plus, there’s less risk of irritation since the application system is unique to the shape of your teeth.

Types of Teeth Whitening in Houston

Depending on your timeline, budget, and the extent of your tooth stain, our Houston teeth whitening options include:

Custom Fitted Bleaching Trays — We’ll take an impression of your teeth, create a model, then melt a piece of material over the replica to create a customized bleaching tray. This application option keeps the prescription-grade gel right where you need it (and not where you don’t.) Place a small dot in the tray at each tooth, then wear them for about an hour a day or sleep in them overnight. You’ll see full results in 10-14 days.

Same Day Whitening — Short on time? Have a last-minute interview or blind date? Visit Fabulous Dentistry to have your teeth whitened in just over an hour. Our in-house system is best for deep, tenacious stains (including those caused by medications) and get your teeth several shades brighter before you leave the office.

Causes of Tooth Staining

Our teeth have a naturally yellow hue to them. For some people, the dentin under their enamel (which is yellow in color) is darker than others, affecting the overall color of the tooth. Since baby teeth don’t have dark dentin, it can make newly erupted adult teeth (next to them) look darker due to the color contrast.

Other issues that can cause natural tooth stains include medication, vitamins/supplements, tobacco use, dark wines, soda, coffee, tea, and even swimming.
