TEETH WHITENING IN SCHERTZ

Teeth Whitening

Professional whitening safely lifts stains a few shades for a brighter, natural look. At Eck Dental Partners, Dr. Nathan Eck offers both in-office and custom take-home options to address discoloration from coffee/tea, red wine, smoking, and age-related enamel changes. Care is supervised for effective results with minimal sensitivity.

Our Teeth Whitening Process

Step 1: Consultation

We examine teeth and gums--and take X-rays or do a cleaning if needed--to confirm you’re ready for whitening. Any decay or gum inflammation is treated first for predictable results.

Step 2: Shade Assessment & Protection

Your starting shade is recorded and goals reviewed. We isolate lips and gums with barriers to protect soft tissue during treatment.

Step 3: Whitening Gel Application

A professional peroxide gel is applied in timed cycles. In some cases, a curing light is used to assist the process. Dr. Eck evaluates between cycles to ensure even, natural-looking brightness.

Step 4: Final Evaluation

We record your new shade, review simple after-care, and--if desired--provide custom trays for touch-ups to maintain your result.

Types of Teeth Whitening

In-Office Teeth Whitening

Fastest results in a single visit using high-concentration gel (with or without assisting light) under direct supervision.

At-Home Teeth Whitening

Precision trays with professional gel used at home, typically daily for 1–2 weeks, and for periodic touch-ups thereafter.

Light-Assisted (“Laser”) Whitening

Select in-office systems pair gel with a specialized light to accelerate stain breakdown for certain cases.

FAQ

Is teeth whitening permanent?

No. Results typically last months to a few years depending on diet and habits. Periodic touch-ups--either brief in-office sessions or short take-home use--help you maintain your preferred shade.

Does teeth whitening damage teeth?

When professionally supervised, whitening does not harm enamel. Temporary sensitivity is possible; we manage it with gel concentration, exposure time, and desensitizing agents as needed.
