Discolored, dark or stained teeth fixed with tooth whitening dentistry
 

Tooth Whitening involves the placement of a Whitening solution on the teeth to eliminate stains and discoloration. The solution is held in place by a custom-made, see-through tray that fits over the teeth - much like a smaller version of a mouthpiece worn by a professional boxer.

Dentist supervised whitening is a safe, effective and relatively easy means of producing a whiter smile.

Two whitening methods are available at Lake creek Dental Care: Power Whitening with a ZOOM light, done at our office, and At-Home-Whitening, which provides for home use (not to be confused with over-the-counter bleaching products available in Austin and Cedar Park area drug stores).

The difference between the two is the strength of the whitening agent and the time it takes to get effective results. ZOOM Power whitening usually one visit, while home whitening may take up to four weeks of regular use.

Sensitive teeth, or those that are chipped, eroded or weakened by cavities, should be repaired or protected before they are whitened
