You can whiten your teeth at home using over-the-counter products such as whitening toothpaste, strips, and gels. However, these products may not be as effective as professional teeth whitening and can cause damage to the teeth and gums if not used properly.

To whiten your teeth at home:

• Use whitening toothpaste: Look for toothpaste that contain baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, or carbamide peroxide, as these ingredients can help remove surface stains and brighten your smile.
• Apply whitening strips: Whitening strips are thin, transparent plastic strips coated with a peroxide-based gel. Simply apply the strips to your teeth and leave them on for the recommended time, usually 30 minutes to an hour.
• Use a whitening gel: Whitening gels are similar to strips but come in a tube and can be applied with a brush or tray.

While at-home teeth whitening is convenient and affordable, professional teeth whitening is still the most effective and safe way to achieve a brighter, healthier-looking smile. The treatments performed by our dentist are higher-concentration whitening gels and specialized equipment, which produce more dramatic results in a shorter amount of time. Additionally, our dentist can monitor the process to ensure that it is safe and effective for your individual needs.

Over-the-counter products can be ineffective and may even cause harm to your teeth and gums. Professional teeth whitening, on the other hand, is safe, effective and performed by a trained dental professional. Our dentists in Arlington, TX use professional-grade products that are much more effective than over-the-counter options and can help you achieve a brighter, healthier-looking smile in just one appointment.

Teeth whitening is generally safe when done by a dentist or under their supervision. Overuse of OTC products can cause harm, so follow your dentist's instructions. Temporary sensitivity is normal but should subside quickly. If you have concerns, consult our dentist.

No, teeth whitening is not permanent. The results of teeth whitening can last for several months to a few years, depending on the individual's habits and lifestyle. Touch-up treatments may be required to maintain the desired level of whiteness. Drinking dark-colored beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine, and smoking can cause the teeth to become discolored again over time. Regular dental cleanings and good oral hygiene practices can help prolong the results of teeth whitening.

No, teeth whitening does not weaken the teeth. Professional teeth whitening is a safe and effective cosmetic dental procedure that does not damage the structure of the teeth. However, some individuals may experience temporary sensitivity during or after the treatment, which typically subsides within a few days. It is important to follow the instructions provided by a dentist and to avoid overuse of over-the-counter teeth whitening products, as these can cause damage to the teeth and gums if used improperly.
