Teeth Whitening – Temple, TX
Quickly Get Rid of Stains and Discoloration
Teeth tend to change color over time due to dark-colored beverages, worn enamel, and sometimes even simple genetics.

In a short amount of time, your teeth will have transformed so brilliantly that you won’t be able to wait to show them off!

Who is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is recommended for people with stained or discolored teeth. You will need to schedule a consultation with us first to determine whether or not you’re a good candidate for the procedure. We’ll need to make sure your gums are healthy and free of periodontal disease before we move forward. The initial visit is also a good opportunity for us to go over the advantages of in-office and take-home whitening so that you can choose the method that’s best for you.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Professional teeth whitening involves a high-grade bleaching gel that can penetrate your enamel in order to break up stain-causing molecules. The treatment comes in two forms: a take-home whitening kit or an entirely in-office procedure. Both are highly effective and reliable when it comes to creating dazzling smiles. The main difference is how long it takes to see results.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening
With take-home whitening, you’ll be given a kit with customized trays and professional bleaching gel. You will fill the trays with the gel and wear them for a set amount of time every day. This whitening method usually takes at least two weeks to achieve the desired results, with the tradeoff being that it can be done entirely in the comfort of your own home.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
During an in-office whitening procedure, one of our talented dental team members will apply the bleaching gel directly to your teeth. The procedure can be completed in just an hour, and the difference will be apparent right away.
Tips for Maintaining Your Brighter Smile
Even after a whitening procedure, your teeth can still become discolored again in the future. Luckily, there are several ways you can make your brighter smile last longer:
- Be aware of what foods and beverages can cause stains (with soda, coffee, and tomato sauce being common examples) and consume them in moderation.
- Brush, floss, and rinse at least twice every day.
- Keep up with your regular checkups to make sure that cavities and other oral health problems aren’t starting to form.
- Stop smoking and drop other unhealthy habits that can cause discoloration.
