Whether you’re preparing for a special occasion or simply want to give your look a boost, having a bright, sparkling smile is essential. While over-the-counter teeth whitening products are available, they are not as effective as professional teeth whitening services and often have undesirable side effects, like increased sensitivity. At Elite Smiles of Pflugerville, Dr. Lakshay Sharma believes that every patient deserves to have a Hollywood-worthy smile and is proud to offer professional teeth whitening in Pflugerville, TX. In this blog, we’ll explore all of your options for brightening up a dull smile – including lifetime at-home whitening and in-office Zoom whitening – and you’ll learn just how much whiter you can expect your smile to be.

Why are my teeth so yellow?

Over time, virtually everyone’s teeth lose some of their whiteness. This is often due to consuming staining foods and beverages, like coffee, tea, and red wine. Smoking and certain medications are also known causes of tooth yellowing or staining. In some cases, patients are simply born with naturally dull teeth. Whatever the cause of your discolored teeth, you may feel self-conscious about your smile. With professional teeth whitening, our expert team can help restore a brighter, whiter smile you can feel confident about.

How does professional teeth whitening work?

At Elite Smiles of Pflugerville, we offer several options for professional teeth whitening, including:

• Lifetime teeth whitening: Sound too good to be true? Believe it or not, patients who keep up with their twice-yearly cleanings and annual dental exams – as well as a dedicated at-home oral hygiene regimen – are eligible to receive custom whitening trays and a lifetime supply of whitening gel to be used at home.

• Zoom teeth whitening: Advanced Zoom whitening offers patients a highly effective, in-office treatment option that results in almost instantly whiter teeth. The treatment typically takes around 15 minutes, and patients can have up to four 15-minute Zoom sessions during a single appointment in order to achieve their desired shade of whiteness.

During your initial consultation for professional teeth whitening in Pflugerville, TX, Dr. Sharma will discuss your concerns and goals, evaluate your overall dental and oral health, explain all of your options at length, and recommend the most appropriate type of teeth whitening for you.

How much whiter can Zoom make your teeth?

In-office teeth whitening with Zoom can produce more dramatic results than over-the-counter products. With Zoom teeth whitening, patients can achieve a smile up to eight shades whiter. Of course, patients who prefer more subtle results can also achieve those with fewer sessions of Zoom.

How often do you have to do Zoom teeth whitening?

Depending on your dental hygiene routine, your diet, and other factors, the results of your Zoom treatment may last for several years. However, many patients choose to have a touch-up Zoom treatment about once per year to keep their smile consistently looking its best.
