You know how important appearance is to your teen. We know that a teen who’s happy with their appearance is more likely to feel more confident in general.
Professional teeth whitening at our Austin dental office is fast and produces brilliant results. To achieve the quickest results, we use Biolase Laserwhite along with our Biolase Laser. If you would like to do your whitening at home, we will make custom made whitening trays for you. We use Opalescence Tooth Whitening System for our take home trays. This method will take a longer period of time to achieve the results desired and is quite dependent on compliance.
If you want to see an immediate, dramatic change, we recommend convenient in-office whitening. Treatment is fast and effective, and it only takes about an hour to reach the desired level of whiteness.
We apply a professional strength whitening gel to the teeth. As with any type of whitening, there may be some sensitivity afterward. We do the best we can to minimize this sensitivity by carefully covering the surrounding gum tissue prior to application of the whitening gel. We also apply a desensitizing agent after the whitening is done. Our state-of-the-art laser speeds the process and enhances whitening action of the gel. A professional in-office whitening treatment can lighten a smile by several shades in a single one-hour session.
Even with in-office whitening, keeping the teeth bright and white is an ongoing process, so before treatment, we take impressions to create a customized whitening tray so your teen can follow up with convenient treatments at home.
Your teen may so busy with school and other activities that they just don’t have an hour to sit in our office for whitening. In this case, take-home whitening trays are a convenient alternative to in-office treatment. We will provide your teen with everything that’s needed for effective treatment at home.
Remember that some commitment is required for long-lasting results, and your teen will still need occasional follow-up treatments to keep their teeth bright and white.
Our team has years of experience in professional teeth whitening and will provide instructions to help maintain a beautiful new smile after treatment. As always, we strongly encourage proper regular dental visits, oral hygiene, and good eating habits to get the most out of the whitening procedure.
Professional teeth whitening can make a dramatic difference not just in the way your teen looks, but also in the way he or she feels. It is the fastest, most affordable way to dramatically improve a stained or discolored smile.
Please give us a call to arrange a professional cleaning with your teen at our Austin dental office. At that time, we’ll be happy to talk to you about our teeth whitening options and help you determine which is the right choice.
