Frisco Teeth Whitening Services 

Experience the Best Teeth Whitening Service

Few things inspire more confidence than knowing your beautiful smile is full of bright, white teeth. Unfortunately, it becomes more and more difficult to keep your teeth as white as they were when you were a child because age and food contribute greatly to stained, dull, and discolored teeth. 

At Frisco's Dentists, we want you to know that you can still achieve that brilliant smile. We offer safe and effective custom teeth whitening treatments in Frisco tailored to our patients’ individual needs. While some whitening toothpastes and at-home teeth whitening kits can help brighten your smile, they aren’t as thorough as our in-office whitening treatments and often contain harsh ingredients that have the potential to damage your teeth. Plus, they don’t last nearly as long; most home teeth whitening products only last a few weeks, but our bleaching systems can last up to five years.

Understanding the Causes of Tooth Discoloration

Certain proteins within the tooth’s enamel naturally attract food particles that can stain your teeth. Some foods are especially known for their staining properties—and not just on the carpet, either.

In addition, caffeine and tobacco can wear away the outer layer of your enamel, which will expose the darker tissue of your teeth. Wear of the enamel also happens naturally as we age, which leaves our teeth more susceptible to staining.

At-Home Teeth Whitening: What You Need to Know

Home whitening products are only effective against certain types of staining. If you have any intrinsic staining—meaning that the stains start from inside your teeth—caused by trauma, medications, or fluorosis, over-the-counter teeth whitening will not be able to help. Depending on the extent of the intrinsic discoloration, our in-office teeth whitening in Frisco can greatly help, although veneers or Lumineers may be better suited for your situation. Talk with Dr. Neal to find out more about your options.
