Teeth Whitening in Borger, TX
Professional whitening uses a higher-strength bleaching gel than anything you can buy over the counter, and because it's applied under supervision, it brightens your smile faster and more evenly. Dr. Robertson offers both in-office and take-home options so you can pick what fits your life.
What causes teeth to darken
- Coffee, tea, red wine, and other staining foods and drinks
- Tobacco use
- Natural dulling as enamel thins with age
- Certain medications and illnesses
- Inconsistent brushing and flossing
In-office vs. take-home
In-office whitening lifts teeth several shades in a single visit — a good choice if you have an event coming up or just want results fast. The take-home option uses custom trays molded to your teeth and a professional-grade gel you wear at home for a set amount of time each day. It takes longer, but the trays are yours to reuse for touch-ups down the road.
At your consultation, Dr. Robertson will check the current shade of your teeth, talk through your goals, and recommend the approach that's likely to give you the result you want. Whitening works best on natural enamel — existing crowns, veneers, and fillings won't change color, so that's something to factor in if those are front and center.
