Leveraging the latest technology, our teeth whitening dentists in Keller, TX can help you achieve the perfect white and radiant smile you dream of with professional, high-quality teeth whitening services.

Who Needs A Teeth Whitening Treatment?

Almost everyone experiences staining or yellowing teeth at some point in their lives. As the enamel on our teeth starts to wear thinner with age, it gives way to dentin, a substance that makes the core of our teeth, usually yellow-brown or green-gray, to show through.

Other factors that make you prone to teeth discoloration include:

  • Consuming too much coffee, red wine, or tea.
  • Specific medication or drugs that include tetracycline and fluoride.
  • Smoking tobacco and nicotine.
  • Micro-cracks and darkened teeth edges due to teeth grinding or gnashing/bruxing.
  • Sizeable cracks caused by trauma and injury.

Teeth Whitening Treatments at Keller Family Dental

At Keller Family Dental, our teeth-whitening dentists use two popular treatments:

1. In-Office Teeth Whitening Procedure

Our in-office treatment usually takes about an hour, ideal for a quick fix. The procedure involves two primary steps –

  • Protecting your teeth with a special shield.
  • Applying a high-concentration peroxide gel.

2. Take-Home Teeth Whitening Treatment Kits

Ideal for a more convenient, at-home teeth whitening routine, our take-home kit has a peroxide gel that’s less strong and can be applied for more extended periods. The special whitening trays are also worn longer – for a couple of hours, or overnight, for a few days or weeks, depending on the product and your needs.

How Effective Is A Teeth Whitening Treatment?

You’ll easily be able to notice a significant improvement in your teeth’s brightness and whiteness roughly two weeks after your teeth whitening treatment.

However, these results are temporary. For a prolonged effect, discoloration requires preventive care and maintenance.

Our teeth whitening dentists in Keller, TX, recommend treatments once a year.

These kits let you whiten your teeth at your own pace and control the level of brightness you achieve. Since they’re readily available at our dentistry, you don’t need to schedule appointments. At-home kits can also be customized to your needs.
