Why People Love Padre Island Dentistry
Why Choose Professional Teeth Whitening?
Over time, factors such as genetics, antibiotics, tobacco use, and certain foods can take a toll on the natural whiteness of your teeth.
While over-the-counter whitening solutions exist, they often fall short in delivering the personalized, long-lasting results that professional treatments can achieve.
At Padre Island Dentistry, we offer both in-office and take-home teeth whitening options, ensuring you find the perfect fit for your lifestyle and goals.
In-Office Teeth Whitening: Fast and Dramatic Results
For those looking for immediate whitening results, our in-office treatment is the ideal choice.
Our expert team applies a professional-strength bleaching agent to your teeth, then activates it with a specialized laser to expedite the whitening process.
This method not only delivers significant results in just one session but also ensures your gums and surrounding mouth tissue are protected throughout the procedure.
Take-Home Teeth Whitening: Convenience and Comfort
If you prefer the flexibility and comfort of whitening your teeth at home, our custom-fitted whitening trays are a perfect solution.
Tailored to fit your teeth precisely, these trays minimize gum irritation and deliver the bleaching agent evenly across your teeth.
Although this option may take a bit longer to achieve your desired shade, it's an effective and gentle way to brighten your smile on your own schedule.

Frequently
Asked Questions
What causes teeth to become stained or discolored?
Several factors contribute to teeth staining or discoloration, including genetics, certain medications (like antibiotics), the use of tobacco products, and the consumption of staining substances such as coffee, tea, wine, and certain fruits and vegetables. Aging also naturally darkens teeth over time.
Is teeth whitening safe?
Yes, when performed under the guidance of a dental professional, teeth whitening is a safe procedure. At Padre Island Dentistry, we ensure that your teeth and gums are protected throughout the whitening process, minimizing any potential risks and ensuring your comfort.
How does professional teeth whitening differ from over-the-counter products?
Professional teeth whitening treatments, whether in-office or take-home kits from our dental office, use higher concentrations of whitening agents, providing more significant and faster results. Additionally, treatments are personalized and supervised by dental professionals, ensuring safety and effectiveness. Over-the-counter products may not offer the same level of customization and can sometimes lead to uneven results or irritation.
How long does in-office teeth whitening take, and how long do the results last?
In-office teeth whitening typically requires one visit, lasting about an hour. Results can vary depending on individual habits, but with proper care, including avoiding staining foods and beverages and practicing good oral hygiene, the effects can last for several years. Touch-up treatments can help maintain your bright smile.
Will teeth whitening work on dental restorations, like veneers or crowns?
No, whitening treatments do not affect the color of dental restorations such as veneers, crowns, or fillings. If you have visible dental restorations, our dental team can discuss alternative strategies for achieving a uniformly brighter smile.
Can teeth whitening cause sensitivity?
Some patients may experience temporary sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures following a teeth whitening treatment. This sensation typically subsides within a few days. Padre Island Dentistry takes steps to minimize sensitivity, including recommending specific aftercare products.
How do I know if I'm a candidate for teeth whitening?
Most adults with healthy teeth and gums are good candidates for teeth whitening. However, we recommend a consultation with our dental professionals to evaluate your oral health, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine the most appropriate whitening treatment for you.
How can I maintain my results after teeth whitening?
To maintain your brighter smile, we advise avoiding staining foods and beverages, using a straw when possible, quitting smoking, and maintaining a rigorous oral hygiene routine. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings at Padre Island Dentistry can also help preserve your results.
