A Brighter Smile Changes Everything
Professional teeth whitening delivers dramatic results that over-the-counter products simply cannot match. In-office and take-home options available at Brazos River Dental in Mineral Wells.
In-Office vs. At-Home Whitening
In-Office Whitening
Professional-strength whitening gel applied under controlled conditions. Teeth can be lightened several shades in a single one-hour visit. Ideal for patients who want immediate results for an event or special occasion.
Take-Home Kit
Custom-fitted whitening trays and professional-grade gel for gradual whitening on your own schedule. Typically worn 30 minutes to one hour per day for one to two weeks. Great for maintaining results after in-office treatment.
Who Is a Candidate?
Professional whitening works best on natural teeth with surface stains from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, or aging. Whitening does not change the color of existing dental work such as crowns, veneers, or fillings. If you have restorations on visible teeth, Dr. Lewis may recommend a combination of whitening and replacement restorations for a uniform result.
Whitening Cost in Texas
In-office professional whitening typically costs between $300 and $600 per session. Take-home kits provided by a dentist range from $200 to $400. While cosmetic whitening is generally not covered by dental insurance, we offer Cherry and CareCredit financing to keep your smile goals accessible.
Whitening FAQs
How much does professional whitening cost in Texas?
In-office whitening typically costs $300 to $600 per session. Take-home kits range from $200 to $400. Professional options deliver significantly better results than over-the-counter products.
Can yellow teeth actually be whitened?
Yes, in most cases. Surface stains from food, drinks, and aging respond best. Teeth discolored from medication or trauma may need veneers or bonding instead.
How long does professional whitening last?
Results typically last 6 months to 2 years depending on your diet and habits. Avoiding staining foods and using a maintenance kit can extend results significantly.
Is teeth whitening safe for sensitive teeth?
Yes. We can adjust the whitening concentration and use desensitizing agents to minimize sensitivity. Let us know about any sensitivity history during your consultation.
