What Is Professional Teeth Whitening?
Professional teeth whitening is a comfortable way to achieve your dream smile without dealing with lackluster over-the-counter products. We offer several types of professional teeth whitening and can combine them with other cosmetic dentistry procedures to give you the beautiful smile you deserve. Because our professional teeth whitening is performed under the supervision of a cosmetic dentist, you don’t have to worry about your teeth feeling increased sensitivity or your gums being irritated.
Common Reasons Teeth Stains

- Tooth decay
- Tomato sauce
- Dark beverages (coffee, wine, tea, etc.)
- Red wine
- Berry juices such as blueberry and cranberry juice
- Dark soda pops
- Balsamic vinegar
- Soy sauce
- Smoking or chewing tobacco
Types of Teeth Whitening
ZOOM! In-Office Whitening
Our most popular option for professional teeth whitening is the Zoom! in-office whitening treatment. If you choose this one-hour cosmetic dentistry procedure, you can leave our Houston office with a smile that’s up to ten shades whiter! Zoom! the in-office treatment works so quickly that we can have you prepared for a social function the very next day.
At-Home Teeth Whitening
We also offer at-home Zoom! Whitening treatment that allows you to whiten your teeth in the comfort of your home. Zoom! at-home whitening is significantly faster than over-the-counter teeth whitening products. With Zoom! you can see incredible results in about one week.
Like the in-office Zoom! whitening treatment, your take-home kit won’t cause you pain or discomfort. This cosmetic treatment can deliver results that last as long as a year. Best of all our take-home whitening kit is even more affordable than in-office whitening treatments.
The Teeth Whitening Process
At the Antoine Dental Center in Houston, TX, we often recommend our patients have their teeth cleaned before undergoing professional teeth whitening. Before your treatment, we’ll take several steps to protect your gums and teeth from any pain or discomfort. Our hygienists will place a protective layer over your gums and lips, we apply prescription strength whitening gel onto your teeth. We then use the patented Zoom! whitening lamp to accelerate the whitening of your teeth.
Caring for Your Smile After Teeth Whitening Treatment
- Don’t drink or eat anything that can stain your teeth. If you must drink something that could stain, use a straw to keep the liquid away from your teeth.
- Maintain excellent oral hygiene. Brush your teeth twice a day, floss at least once a day, and use a non-staining antiseptic rinse between meals.
- Get touch-up treatments. You can benefit from touch-up treatments every few months to keep your smile as white as possible.
How to Prevent & Remove Stains
- Chew sugarless gum after you eat or drink
- Avoiding using whitening toothpaste
- Sip water in between bites of food and drinks
- Use “natural” teeth cleaners such as a variety of fruits and veggies
- Do not brush your teeth until at least 30 minutes after you’ve eaten
- Use a straw when drinking teeth-staining beverages
