Teeth Whitening procedures can effectively renew stained, dull, or discolored teeth. RGV Smiles offers teeth whitening through Texas White Smile, a procedure that only takes 15 minutes!
There are multiple reasons why teeth become discolored – aging, stains from soda, coffee, tea, wine and tobacco products.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Tooth whitening procedures are the most requested cosmetic dental procedure requested. Studies have shown that hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide based whitening systems are safe and effective.
How long with the results last?
Individual results vary, but results average one year.
Are there any side effects of teeth whitening?
Teeth whitening procedures have very few side effects. Occasionally, a small percentage of patients may experience some sensitivity during the procedure.
Will fillings or crowns be affected by the whitening process?
The tooth whitening procedure will not have any negative effects on fillings or crowns. However, these materials will not whiten in any type of bleaching procedure.
Is whitening for everyone?
Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under the age of 14 and diabetics should consult their primary physician before undergoing any whitening procedure. Patients with severely tetracycline stained teeth may want to consider a more aggressive cosmetic procedure such as bonding or veneers.
