Teeth Whitening in Houston, TX

Over-the-counter products may promise quick results, but they often lead to inconsistent shades, tooth sensitivity, or gum irritation. At Empire Dental, our whitening treatments are safer, stronger, and tailored to your enamel type and goals.

Benefits of our in-office whitening:

• Noticeable results after just one visit
  
  
• Customized treatment plans for your unique tooth shade
  
  
• Less sensitivity than drugstore products
  
  
• Longer-lasting brightness with proper maintenance

Explore all our cosmetic dentistry services to see how we can enhance your smile.

1. Consultation and Shade Assessment: We start by evaluating your current tooth color and identifying the underlying causes of discoloration.
   
   
2. Cleaning and Preparation: A professional dental cleaning may be recommended beforehand to remove surface buildup and plaque.
   
   
3. Application of Whitening Gel: Our dental-grade whitening gel is carefully applied to your teeth and activated with a special light to lift deep stains and improve uniformity.
   
   
4. Immediate Results: Most patients leave their appointment with teeth that are multiple shades lighter — instantly more radiant and photo-ready.
   
   
5. Maintenance Guidance: We’ll provide tips and optional take-home trays to help extend your whitening results.

Looking for a full transformation? Consider our smile makeovers to combine whitening with other cosmetic improvements like veneers or Invisalign.

Whitening works best for patients with:

• Surface stains from coffee, tea, wine, or smoking
  
  
• Yellowed teeth due to aging
  
  
• No active cavities or untreated gum disease
  
  
• Healthy enamel free of cracks or damage

Our dentists will assess your oral health first. If you're not a candidate for whitening, we may recommend alternatives like veneers for intrinsic stains or discoloration from medications.
