Teeth Whitening

Your smile is one of your most essential accessories! If you’re hiding it due to staining or tooth discoloration, bleaching your teeth is a solution that offers one of the quickest and most affordable ways to enhance your smile. 

At TPC Dental Care, we offer two convenient options for professional teeth whitening in San Antonio.

In-Office Teeth Whitening

If you need quick and immediate results for an upcoming event like a wedding, vacation, or family reunion, for example, an in-office whitening procedure can quickly deliver the outcome you want.

When you choose an in-office teeth whitening procedure to improve your smile, we place a barrier around your gum tissue to protect it from the bleaching gel. Then we’ll apply a highly-effective whitening gel to your teeth and let it do the hard work of brightening your smile until you achieve your desired results.

Most patients leave with teeth five to ten shades brighter than when they arrived.

Customized Take-Home Teeth Whitening

If you have more time on your hands and like the idea of bleaching your teeth at home, a take-home teeth whitening is the perfect option.

Our team will take impressions of your teeth that we’ll use to create custom plastic bleaching trays. Then, we’ll ensure the proper fit and teach you how to apply the whitening gel safely.

Custom-fitting bleaching trays ensure that whitening gel doesn’t escape and harm your gums and soft tissues. Custom trays are also more effective in helping you achieve your desired results. Another benefit is that you’ll always have your custom trays ready whenever you need to update your smile.

Protecting Your Investment

When you’ve invested in whitening your smile, you’ll want to enjoy the results for a while! First, however, you can do a few things to protect your investment. 

Commit to Excellent Home Care

A daily routine of brushing twice for two-minute sessions and flossing once does wonders for keeping your smile white and bright! Consider letting an electric toothbrush do the hard work of brushing for you if you haven’t already switched.

Avoid Tooth-Staining Foods and Beverages

Certain foods and beverages contribute to tooth discoloration. Being aware of the culprits can help you protect your bright smile.

  • Coffee and black tea
  • Dark berries like raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries
  • Red wine
  • Dark colas
  • Curries
  • Soy sauce
  • Marinara or tomato sauces

Drinking water can help counteract the effects of tooth-staining foods and drinks. Brushing 30 minutes after consumption is also helpful.

Visit Your San Antonio Dentist Regularly for Teeth Cleanings

Being consistent about visiting your dentist in San Antonio every six months for preventive teeth cleanings will also protect your bright smile.
