Teeth Whitening in Hondo

Professional Teeth Whitening in Hondo

Teeth whitening in Hondo is a simple way to brighten a smile dulled by coffee, tea, tobacco, or time. At Fiesta Dental, your trusted dentist in Hondo, Texas, Dr. Dheeraj Kumar Koli, DDS, creates custom whitening trays that fit your teeth precisely so you can whiten comfortably at home.

Is Teeth Whitening Right for You?

Professional whitening works best on yellow and brown stains caused by food, drinks, smoking, and aging. Before you start, Dr. Koli examines your teeth and gums so any cavities or gum problems can be treated first, which keeps whitening comfortable and effective. Whitening is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Gray stains from medication, injury, or deep discoloration may not respond as well to whitening. In those cases, dental crowns or porcelain veneers may be a better choice, and Dr. Koli will explain the options that fit your smile.

Just ask at any appointment if you would like to whiten your teeth. You can whiten only your upper teeth or both upper and lower teeth, depending on how much of your smile shows when you talk and laugh.

How Our Whitening Trays Work

First, we take an impression of your teeth to make clear, custom whitening trays that hold the whitening gel evenly against your teeth. Your trays are usually ready to pick up in a day or two, along with professional whitening gel and easy instructions from Dr. Koli.

You place a small amount of gel in the trays and wear them for about 3 to 4 hours a day, typically for one to two weeks, until your teeth reach the shade you want. After that, occasional touch-up wear helps keep your smile bright. We like to take “after” photos at your next visit so you can see the difference.
