Over time, your smile’s brightness can fade and stain due to aging, lifestyle choices like the foods you eat, and tobacco use. If you feel self-conscious about sharing a smile, it might be time to consider a professional teeth whitening treatment at our Friendswood, TX, dental office. 
Is Teeth Whitening Safe?
Teeth whitening is a perfectly safe procedure when supervised by a dentist or hygienist. Professional whitening considers your unique needs, ensuring the brightest and most consistent results without tooth sensitivity.
In contrast to store-bought kits, professional treatments also use custom trays that cover your teeth evenly and keep the whitening gel away from sensitive gum tissue.

- Avoid foods and drinks that can stain teeth, or consume them in moderation.
- Do not use tobacco products that dim your smile with stubborn brown stains.
- Use your leftover whitening trays and gel for occasional at-home touchups.
