What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?
In an age where people are constantly interacting through video calls and social media, a bright, clean-looking smile plays a bigger role in how we present ourselves. If your smile is stained, discolored, or just not as bright as you would like, professional teeth whitening offers a quick, convenient way to refresh your look without altering the shape or structure of your teeth. At Hearthstone Dentistry in Houston, TX, we provide professional teeth whitening services that are safe, effective, and customized to your needs. Whether your teeth have yellowed over time or developed stains from coffee, tea, or smoking, we offer in-office and take-home options that deliver visible results while protecting your enamel and reducing sensitivity. Unlike store-bought teeth whitening kits, which only address surface stains, our teeth whitening services use professional-grade materials in higher concentrations to deliver noticeable results in fewer treatments. Whether you're preparing for a special occasion or just want to feel more confident in everyday interactions, we invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Monica Chau at our practice today to learn more about professional teeth whitening and other cosmetic dental treatments we provide in Houston, TX.
How Does Professional Teeth Whitening Work?
Your appointment will begin with a review of your dental history and a quick exam to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy enough for whitening. If you're moving forward with in-office treatment, we'll apply a protective barrier over your gums before placing a concentrated whitening gel on the surface of your teeth. In some cases, we may use a special curing light to activate the gel and accelerate the process. Treatment usually takes about one hour and can brighten your teeth by several shades in a single visit.
For patients who prefer to whiten more gradually or at their convenience, we also offer custom take-home trays. These are made using digital impressions of your teeth to ensure a close, comfortable fit. You'll receive a supply of professional-grade whitening gel to use at home, along with instructions on how long to wear the trays each day. Most patients begin to see results within a few days with full whitening achieved over 1 – 2 weeks. Whether you choose in-office or take-home whitening, we'll guide you through the process, monitor your progress, and help you maintain your results with regular cleanings and touch-up treatments as needed.
What Are the Benefits of Teeth Whitening?
When your teeth look dull or stained, it can affect how you feel in everyday interactions, whether you're smiling in a photo, speaking on a video call, or meeting someone face to face. Professional teeth whitening offers a simple, comfortable way to brighten your smile without taking a lot of time or making major changes to your teeth. Some of the benefits of our professional teeth whitening services at Hearthstone Dentistry include:
- Lifts deep stains and yellowing that brushing can't fix
- Brightens your teeth by several shades in as little as one visit to our Houston, TX office
- Helps your smile look cleaner, fresher, and more youthful
- Allows you to choose between in-office treatment or take-home trays
- Minimizes sensitivity and irritation with custom-fit solutions
- Empowers you to feel more confident and comfortable in everyday situations
The cost of professional teeth whitening depends on the type of treatment you choose and the results you want to achieve. We'll go over your options during your consultation and help you choose what fits your budget.
Hearthstone Dentistry Reviews
I absolutely loved the patient experience in the this office. I am new in the area and so l just did a goggle search and several dental offices pulled up. My spirit lead me to this office. From the moment l walked into the office l felt welcome. I had spoken with Tabitha earlier that morning to confirm my appointment and I recognized the voice when l walked in. She made sure my paperwork was completed and then introduced me to Pascha. She took all my X-rays and pictures of my teeth.. she was so gentle and kind, asking me if l was okay throughout the procedure. That is huge in my books because it showed she cared/cares. Dr. Chau and Pascha were amazing; they work so well together. They were engaging, as well as reassuring. They made me feel comfortable and safe in their care. Dr. Chau explained and reviewed all the X-rays and pictures. She stopped periodically to ask if I had questions. Dr. Chau and her crew on 10/24/2023 were phenomenal. I highly recommend you checking out Hearthstone Dentist . It’s full of joy.
Everyone is very pleasant. She has quite the uplifting and bubbly personality. Thorough in explaining what the procedure is and ask if I have any questions. Checks that you are doing ok while procedure is being done. Great dentist!
My first time at the dentist and this office made it such a joyful experience. The receptionist at the front desk was helpful and very kind. The dental assistant was patient and informative and the dentist was very thorough, answered all my questions and funny/witty. Great experience!
Very professional and courteous. Always professional, and always taking care of the patient.
I have been coming here for many years. The original dentist retired and I have been seeing Dr Chau since 2021 and she does an excellent job. She takes time to explain all she does and asked for me to ask any questions or concerns I have.
