What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment that uses whitening gel to brighten natural teeth and reduce stains. It can help improve yellow teeth, stained teeth, and surface discoloration caused by foods, drinks, tobacco, or aging.
A dentist can check your teeth before whitening and recommend in-office teeth whitening, custom whitening trays, or another safe teeth whitening treatment based on your needs.
How Does Teeth Whitening Work?
Teeth whitening works by using whitening gel to break down stains and make natural teeth appear brighter. Stains may come from coffee, tea, red wine, tobacco, dark foods, aging, or plaque buildup.
Professional whitening helps remove deep & surface stains more predictably than many store-bought options. Depending on your goals, your dentist may recommend same day teeth whitening, in-office whitening, or take-home custom whitening trays.
How Much Does Teeth Whitening Cost ?
The cost of teeth whitening in El Paso depends on the whitening method, level of discoloration, tooth sensitivity, number of sessions, and whether a dental exam or cleaning is needed before treatment.
In-office whitening may cost more than store-bought products, but it is supervised by a dentist and can provide faster, more controlled results. Custom whitening trays may also affect cost because they are made to fit your teeth. During your visit, our dentist can explain your options and provide a personalized estimate.

Smile Enhancement

What To Consider Before Teeth Whitening
Before whitening your teeth, our dentist will check for cavities, gum disease, sensitivity, enamel concerns, and visible dental restorations. Whitening is designed for natural teeth, so crowns, veneers, bridges, and fillings will not change color with whitening gel.
If your discoloration is caused by deep stains, trauma, medication, or older restorations, whitening may not give the result you want. In those cases, veneers or other cosmetic dentistry options may be a better fit.

Teeth Whitening Options We May Recommend
In-Office Teeth Whitening
Our team can whiten your teeth in less than an hour with an effective solution and strong UV light! The effects are designed to reach the dentin beneath the tooth's outermost enamel layer. Since many patients' tooth discoloration originates from this inner layer, a dental whitening procedure like this is more successful in brightening the entire tooth.
Take-Home Whitening Trays
If you don’t have time to dedicate to in-office teeth whitening, don’t worry; we offer a take-home solution! Our take-home trays contain a potent solution to bleach teeth immediately. In contrast to over-the-counter whitening kits, these trays are made especially for your teeth, providing effective and lasting results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does teeth whitening take?
Treatment time depends on the whitening method. In-office teeth whitening may be completed in a single visit, while take-home whitening trays are typically used over several days or weeks.
How long do teeth whitening results last?
Whitening results vary from person to person. Results may last longer with good oral hygiene, regular dental cleanings and limited exposure to stain-causing foods, drinks and tobacco.
Is teeth whitening painful?
Teeth whitening is not usually painful, but some patients experience temporary tooth sensitivity or mild gum irritation during or after treatment. Your dentist can recommend ways to make the process more comfortable.
Can teeth whitening damage enamel?
Professional teeth whitening is generally considered safe when recommended by a dentist and used as directed. Overusing whitening products or leaving them on longer than instructed may increase the risk of sensitivity or gum irritation.
Does teeth whitening work on crowns?
No. Teeth whitening does not change the color of crowns, veneers, bridges or tooth-colored fillings. Whitening gel works only on natural tooth structure.
Can teeth whitening remove deep stains?
Whitening can improve many surface stains and some deeper discoloration, but not every type of stain responds in the same way. Our dentist can evaluate the cause of the discoloration and explain whether whitening is likely to help.
What foods should I avoid after teeth whitening?
After whitening, temporarily limit strongly colored foods and drinks such as coffee, tea, red wine, dark soda, tomato sauce, berries and curry. Avoiding tobacco can also help reduce new stains.
Who is a good candidate for teeth whitening?
A good candidate generally has healthy teeth and gums, natural teeth affected by staining or discoloration, and realistic expectations about the results. A dental examination can help determine whether whitening is appropriate for you.
