Teeth Whitening – Killeen, TX

Who Is a Good Candidate for Teeth Whitening?

While dental enamel is incredibly strong, teeth can develop stains due to genetic factors, smoking, or frequent exposure to discoloring foods and liquids such as coffee, tea, red wine, cola, berries, candy, and richly colored sauces. Dental stains can be intrinsic, meaning located beneath the enamel, or extrinsic, meaning located on its surface, and teeth whitening treatments from our Killeen office can be an excellent way to eliminate stubborn discoloration and achieve a brighter and more beautiful grin. Patients will have to be free from tooth decay and gum disease before receiving the treatment, but we will be happy to resolve these issues with restorative procedures. We’ll be happy to help you find the best way to brighten your grin when we see you for your consultation.

How Does Teeth Whitening Work?

The team at Killeen Choice Dental offers both take-home whitening kits and in-office treatments that can painlessly lift stains without anesthesia and leave the smile up to eight shades whiter. Our treatments are completely customized to safely ensure fantastic results and help our patients achieve the smiles of their dreams.

Take-Home Teeth Whitening

Take-home teeth whitening kits can be a convenient way for many people to brighten their smiles. These kits include customized dental trays designed to fit the patient’s teeth and concentrated whitening gel that can reliably deliver amazing results. These products take about two weeks to complete and are far more effective than similar products that can be bought in stores.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

Our in-office teeth whitening treatments can lift stubborn stains and discoloration and take about an hour to complete. This allows patients to quickly achieve amazing results, which makes the procedure great for those anticipating a special event such as a job interview, graduation, or wedding. The components used in these treatments are proven to be both safe for use in the human mouth and can leave the patient with a remarkably brighter grin.
